the new white shirt

My kids went back to school today. Finally! As they came down for breakfast this morning in their uniforms--crisp blue button-downs and khakis--I wished that I too had a back-to-school uniform. One that would center around a white shirt, for it goes with just about everything, plus is easy to wear and transcendentally stylish. Since I don't need to abide by school rules, I can tweak this white shirt as often as I see fit, and this semester, I'm suiting up in versions that are anything but basic. They're uniform in that they all possess interesting, eye-catching details, such as flared sleeves, an asymmetric hemline, maybe even a ruffle or two. My A+ go-to's would be these by Tibi, Rosie Assoulin, Carven, Cos, Ellery, Alexis, Maiyet, Whistles, and Bailey 44. The blouse pictured above is by Moochi.
