Utility (See Jane Wear)

J Brand jeans, J Crew Outlet shirt + necklace, Chloe bag, Lovely People wedges |
I never used to like oxford-style shirts. I always thought I looked like a pre-pubescent boy in them, which is probably due to the fact that I had to wear them every day in high school (where I wore no makeup and my my hair in a ponytail everyday–the advantage of an all-girls school; don’t worry, I gussied up on weekends). Once I started donning oxford shirts for my first job out of college, I got more comfortable wearing them; fast forward nearly four years and I can’t seem to take them off.
I snatched this silky, utility-esque oxford up at the J Crew outlet a few weeks ago. So far, I’ve worn it to work, the movies, and to my parents house, among other places. I suppose the real question is: where haven’t I worn this shirt?
Also, if you’re in the Chicagoland area this Thursday (5/19), please be sure to stop by Banana Republic After 5 event on Michigan avenue from 5-7PM for some discount shopping and the chance to win a trip to LA. All are welcome to attend, so if you’re around, I’d love to meet you!
Love this kind of shirts and it suits you really good!

I've never been one for stuffy button up shirts, but over the last little while there is nothing more comfortable & instantly chic than slipping on a loose fitting blouse! I LOVE this one you picked up – such a great color & fit, and I also am loving this necklace! So pretty!
You look beautiful love the outfit!
Cute shirt! I need to go check out the JCrew outlet more often. Like you, I was never a big fan of oxford style shirts, but with all these new silk and softer fabric options, I have become a huge fan of them.
You look lovely in the oxford shirt (I can see why you wear it all the time!) and your wedges are darling!

You always have the greatest shoes! I love yours and just looked up "Lovely People" haha. I also need to learn how to master the half-tuck shirt.
you look gorgeous in that shirt, it looks wonderful with the dark jeans and sparkly necklace. i don't really like oxford shirts on myself, but you look so chic i might have to try wearing more <3shelby

So cool & casual! Love the Jcrew outlet finds!
I went to an all-girls high school too, so I understand your aversion to button-up shirts. Love this look though; that silk top looks polished but also comfortable. J.Crew outlet is the best!
Love the shirt so much!
Oh I totally understand the all girl school trauma. it took me a while to get back into collared shirts or combining navy and white!
i don't think i really realized it but my catholic school/uniform upbringing probably played into my lack of oxford shirts up until a couple years ago too! great finds – love them both!
I love the neutral colors and the wedges! Great look girl!
wear the hell out of it. It's too cute not too!

Say hello to your newest follower! So happy I cam across your blog today!
I love this shirt, and tend to live in things like this myself, especially when the weather is being stubborn and hasn't quite yet decided if it wants to be hot or cold. : )
Hope you're having a happy Monday!

I love everything about this outfit! The shirt is baggy but there's still something sexy about it. And the shoes are fabulous.
