The Look For Less: Elizabeth and James Artist Shirt

July 23, 2009

My recent infatuation with boyfriend shirts led me to this exquisite Elizabeth and James Artist Shirt ($225). The timeless cut goes with everything — long jersey skirts, shorts, mini dresses . . . . If I take the plunge, I'll wear it forever but that doesn't make paying that much for a button-up shirt right. Time to shop around!

This Old Navy Chambray Blue Oxford Shirt ($25) is just as fresh. All I need to do is roll up the sleeves, pop the collar, and I'm set. Now, I can use that saved moola for my next urge.

$275,is a bit much, I like the O.N. one,but you never know what something looks like until you try it on.

When the whole "boyfriend" look came out, I didn't see what all the rave was about. It wasn't until I tried on a pair of boyfriend jeans with an over sized oxford that I realized how incredible comfortable they are!! I love loose clothes, and I love the shirt posted above-- thanks fab!

The Elizabeth and James one is too sheer and looks like it would wrinkle easily. But the Old Navy one looks a little like "office wear" and not as blousy. The color is very beautiful on the e and j one, almost a purplish blue (periwinkle?) Calvin Klein and Banana Republic make nice blouses too.

yeah, you would think for a simple button-up shirt it wouldn't matter, but the Elizabeth & James ones looks so much better! I wouldn never pay that much for one shirt though...
