I don't have any l/s button down cotton shirts - a few short sleeved, more blousey button downs that I wear under blazers for business meetings. I bought this adorable button-down shirt from Boden thinking I would be filling a gap in the wardrobe. It's just as cute a print as depicted, 100% cotton, but - I look at myself in the mirror and it looks like a man's shirt with a cute print. It was as bad under a blazer (and I even wore it with an eggplant blazer that offset the purple polka dots). How do women wear these things and make them look feminine? I have very short hair and a boyish figure, so I don't have the curvy look that might feminize a shirt. (The model has the same length of hair and is slim too, but she's a model and I'm not!) I wear jewelry but I'm not a heels and nailpolish gal.
Do you wear button down shirts? I'd love suggestions for how to pull off this look - otherwise, back it goes to Boden. I don't need something else looking cute and gathering dust in my closet. Thanks!
