I like the drape. I don't like crisp tops so this appeals to me.

I'm in! I can't wait to see your crisp white shirt, too.  Angie on "WIW: The button down that thinks it's a tee" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-button-down-that-thinks-its-a-tee#post-1222157 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 14:50:28 +0000 Angie 1222157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ (I wear white button downs as t-shirts). The white shirt the Amy-Way. Good job.  Emily on "WIW: The button down that thinks it's a tee" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-button-down-that-thinks-its-a-tee#post-1222084 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 12:53:29 +0000 Emily 1222084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it, it's a nice upgrade from a plain white tee.  It looks great with your grey jeans/white belt.  Sounds like a fun day! harmonica on "WIW: The button down that thinks it's a tee" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-button-down-that-thinks-its-a-tee#post-1222075 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 12:21:58 +0000 harmonica 1222075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sounds like you had a busy day. I really like this look! Nice, soft drape and also very fond of the light grey/white combo. The white belt is a great structural element in the outfit. Seems perfect for cleaning, kids' activities and picnic Jaime on "WIW: The button down that thinks it's a tee" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-button-down-that-thinks-its-a-tee#post-1221880 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 01:34:34 +0000 Jaime 1221880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks great!

This looks nicely fluid and works best on it's own semitucked. I would consider it a totally different creature than a crisp button down.  ironkurtin on "WIW: The button down that thinks it's a tee" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-button-down-that-thinks-its-a-tee#post-1221785 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 22:40:07 +0000 ironkurtin 1221785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love how this drapes! I reasonably would wear it with slimmer jeans because I feel weird in overall volume, but then I'm not bending over picnicking kids!

I like the light tones of both items and the way the ease in the pants suits the drape of the top.  The white belt keeps the volume in check. If I were quibbling, I might wish the collar was a little bigger and crisper, but I really like it as is! Hope you have fun at the lake! amiable on "WIW: The button down that thinks it's a tee" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-button-down-that-thinks-its-a-tee#post-1221767 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 22:19:25 +0000 amiable 1221767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I read somewhere this week that this year's best white buttondown is the one that thinks it's a tee shirt - you can just throw it on with jeans and go. It made me think of this shirt - my white knit buttondown.  It's almost never been worn because it doesn't layer well - it's not at all crisp. But if a button-down was ever a tee shirt, this one is.   So I wore it today with gray jeans for a day of house cleaning and painting with kids and now to a picnic supper at our local lake. What do you think?  Is it worth keeping?  (I just got a nice crisp white buttondown too that I can't wait to show you!) And I didn't intend to cut off my feet - but I was barefoot almost all day anyway.
