I added two this year.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040897 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 15:22:17 +0000 DeAnna 2040897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in all the shirts. Its to hot here to wear them, but in September late I am going to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040895 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 15:16:35 +0000 Liesbeth 2040895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are dressing down those work shirts wonderfully. Good job rediscovering them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040876 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 12:18:32 +0000 RobinF 2040876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look great on you. I really like the red on you, you really look great in red! I struggle with button downs but can see how they would be nice and cool - they wouldn't stick to the skin like tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040872 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 11:38:27 +0000 nemosmom 2040872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Wow, Carla, you look great in a button down shirt! My fave is the one with olive pants and scarf! <br /></div>You have inspired me to dust off some of my old shirts and try them in some casual summer looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040868 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 11:26:38 +0000 Anonymous 2040868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really suit the button downs! And yay to husbands that iron </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040867 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 10:51:47 +0000 The Cat 2040867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit in #5. So summery in blue and white, stripes and polkadots. And you look gorgeous in your shirt, jeans and straw hat. Inspirational! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040852 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 05:54:23 +0000 Jane 2040852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh! They look super! Such a good challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040830 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 03:28:38 +0000 Jaime 2040830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to linen and cotton being cooler than the beating sun! These suit you so well with your Heburnesque (Katharine!) style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040829 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 03:19:23 +0000 Carla 2040829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen - I know! Yes. DH does all the ironing! </p> <p>Joy - I'm on the fence about the LE shirt, and possibly the watermark - but will keep them in rotation through summer. They are both 3/4 sleeve with non-traditional collars and short bodies. Both 5+ YO as well. All the others have traditional styling with long sleeves, full collars, and long bodies that can be tucked or knotted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040814 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 00:20:10 +0000 nuancedream 2040814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, you look great in all the button down shirts. I wear my cotton and linen blend shirts throughout the summer because I like a little more coverage than a T-shirt can offer. I really love #5 and knotted at the waist, it's perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040812 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 23:59:32 +0000 smittie 2040812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice Carla! You look great in button downs! I like the pink one best.</p> <p>I actually wear my button downs to my kid’s rugby games and wear the sleeves long to cover up from the sun. I agree that they’re cooler than t-shirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040806 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 23:18:59 +0000 Anonymous 2040806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear button downs so well that they should be your signature. Did any get put on the chopping block? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040801 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 23:08:45 +0000 Muffin 2040801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a button down and you wear them so well!

He is definitely a keeper. You look great in all three outfits. The sporty look suits you very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040790 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 21:44:16 +0000 Style Fan 2040790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in a button down.&nbsp; My favourite is your denim one.&nbsp; No surprise.&nbsp; I wear my denim button down constantly in the summer.&nbsp; As Sal pointed out, they are perfect for hot summer days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040780 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 21:18:56 +0000 Sal 2040780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is great that you fell in love with them again.&nbsp; They suit you well and I agree are super comfortable (and great for sun protection) on hot days.</p> <p>I love your new red thrifted one but they all look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040771 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 20:21:22 +0000 LaPed 2040771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are wonderful! I especially love the navy/white outfit in #5; perfect hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040770 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 20:17:08 +0000 Barbara Diane 2040770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very successful challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge#post-2040750 Sun, 07 Jul 2019 18:53:08 +0000 Carla 2040750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before Sal posted her July challenge, I tested myself with wearing my neglected button downs. The least worn shirts are left-over workwear from before I retired (BR navy, Herve Bernard water mark, LE stripe and dot.) I figured that I would be successful if they all ended up in the ironing pile after going through the wash! I wore all my button downs, except the red plaid flannel - and I ADDED a new one (red and white cotton blend check - thrifted.). The most neglected one, the navy striped BR, got the most wears (4). In the process, I re-discovered that cotton and linen shirts are much cooler (on hot summer days) then a T-shirt! I will NOT be editing any button downs, and will in fact be wearing them more in the coming months! </p> <p>#1 all my button downs, except Jean shirt, after DH did the ironing!<br /> #2-#5 some of the shirts in rotation </p>
