Street Style Sunday: How to style an old white shirt

 I recently inherited my husband's white work shirt from T.M.Lewin, I only got a look in because it has a rip in the arm, but I'm not going to let that deter me. I love a good white shirt, so easy to style, whether they are fitted or oversized you can never have enough white shirts in your wardrobe. So I just rolled up the arms and paired it with a tulle skirt, and some brogues. 


The skirt has been in my closet forever it's from H&M unfortunately it's not still available (although they have some superb midi skirts at the mo), but you can find a similar tulle skirt here.

The necklace is from a local shop called The orange Tree, which is great for one-off finds, unusual gifts and amazing for your interior design needs. 

The bangle is from Halcyon days and I adore the simple beauty of it.


Usually I wear heels, but after comparing I think these flats looked just as good, so I went with them. The brogues are from Clarks, you can find similar here.


The outfit was for a night out with my husband for our anniversary. We went to L'anima where they serve the most amazing contemporary Italian food. The cocktails are also worth a visit even if you don't sample the food. 


The brilliant mixologist looked after us and made us this smokey concoction. I believe it was his signature drink. 


The Mister and me in our matching white shirts. Ha. 


How do you wear your white shirt?

  1. You can never go wrong with a white shirt- and I think a mans shirt is often cut better than womens. Womans style can be to fitted. Love that you dressed it down with some brogues - keeping the mannish vibe but making it girly and beautiful with a soft skirt.

    Very stylish Miss SMS x xx

  2. Happy Anniversay, you look gorgeous. I love a classic white shirt, I bought one recently from Gap and I've been wearing it with light jeans and chunky sandals. Maybe I'll try it with a skirt too X

  7. Love white shirts, but only men's worn by women! You've inspired me. When the husband's back is turned later, I'm going to have a rummage through his wardrobe.

    Love the entire outfit. So pretty and stylish. Gorgeous! Happy Anniversary too. We celebrated our 6th anniversary on the 16th :) x

  8. Great styling! Looks like you had a fab night. I'm currently writing this while wearing my boyfriend's shrunken grey wool sweater so I can relate to pinching partner's clothes! Love how you mixed it up with the flats too. x

  10. Happy Anniversary!!

    Got to love the classics and a white shirt is right at the top of the list in my book.

    I just love the way you've teamed the shirt with a pretty floaty skirt and masculine shoes. It looks so effortlessly cool and super stylish.
