5 Necklaces to Wear with a White Button Down Shirt

Mastering a white button down shirt at the workplace has proven to be difficult throughout my career. When I see this simple shirt, my first reaction is to over compensate for it's simplicity, however I've learned that fitted pants and a statement necklace will go a long ways with this classic shirt. Here are five different types of necklaces you can wear with a white shirt to the office. Get creative with your necklaces because these will change your entire outfit. Also, don't be afraid to button up your shirt all the way or leave a few buttons undone (just make sure it looks work appropriate).

This necklace is from J.Crew (sold out). A tribal jeweled necklace over the collar of a white shirt is perfect way to look trendy and polished at work.

Love these clustered pearls from J.Crew (which I picked up for $17!). As much as I love a strand of pearls, a cluster of pearls is a great way to look classic, with an up-to-date twist!

Delicate necklaces are some of my favorite to wear with classic white shirts, it give you fresh and clean look. My fiance got me the two joining circles for Valentine's Day and the longer necklace is from a street vendor in Brooklyn. 

An oversized tortoise bib, from Bauble Bar, looks great with a white shirt. The simplicity of a white shirt give you the ability to go big with your accessories. 

Jeweled collars are always my favorite to wear with a classic white shirt. They're so pretty and glamorous. When I don't know what necklace to wear, I reach for this J.Crew jeweled necklace.

What to Wear to Work | Button Down with Jeweled Collar

In the past I've never been a big fan of cotton shirts, after trying on this shirt from Ann Taylor, my perspective has changed! It's all about finding the right collar shirt for the office. This one in particular is soft, light weight and not too tight in my bust. The powder blue and jeweled collar go with so many pieces in my wardrobe. I opted to roll up the sleeves since I'm wearing pants. This shirt would also go great with your favorite boyfriend jeans (similar to this outfit) or pair it with your favorite pencils skirt (like here). Since spring is right around the corner, it would also look great by layers it with any color lightweight sweater.

What to Wear to Work | Blush Dress + Gold Accents

Good morning! Over the weekend I took advantage of the sale at Ann Taylor and picked up a few pieces to add to my work wardrobe. Whenever there's a 40%-50% sale, it's a great time to update your wardrobe. Most retailers have big sales, once a month. So try and hold out if you're trying to stretch your dollar. If you miss a few pieces, other cute pieces will always be available! 

This dress is great piece to add to your spring work wardrobe. When I tried on the dress, I was a little hesitant about the sleeves, but flared ruffles added a feminine look to the dress. Working in a corporate office, I try and keep my jewelry to a minimum. If I were to wear this outside the office, a long gold necklace (like this) would look great with the outfit. You can also throw on a black blazer for a more conservative look.

Black & White :: Ann Taylor Shorts & Forever 21 Vest

 

 

At the beginning of the summer, I bought this cute little vest from Forever 21. There were so many times I pulled it out of my closet and tried it on with an outfit. What I realized with white faux leather, is that it looks good with white cotton. The shorts were another one of my favorite purchases. Purchased from Ann Taylor during their Summer Sale. Today's outfit I wanted to keep it simple, black white and little nude heel to top it off.
