I always liked the Watercolor Pastiche print but not enough to pay the price for the skirt or dress. When this Perfect Shirt went on sale for only $29.99, I snagged it. I never thought I’d wear button down shirts, since I never knew how to size in them and they seemed so serious. However, the Giant Gingham shirt I recently purchased totally changed my mind. Something about a collared, button down shirt just immediately makes you look put together while the cool prints keep it whimsical. The Watercolor Pastiche shirt is still available now so if you love it, now is the time.

I was surprised at how thin this material is, but maybe that’s why it’s perfect for summer. I had no idea what to pair with this print, since I mainly style my outfits with one neutral and one pop color or print, but I don’t have many neutral bottoms…plus they are mainly black, which doesn’t seem to suit this cheery print.

I’m wearing: Banana Republic Pique Pencil Skirt, Matt Bernson Bo Peep Espadrilles

I was a bit sad to realize I can probably only pair it with a white bottom, but once I saw how cute and peasant-girlish the outfit looked together, I didn’t mind so much. Gotta love white pencil skirts. Flattering and the perfect canvas for really cool tops and crazy prints.
