After being in the professional world for almost a year, I think that my style has noticeably matured.  I’ve retired (most of) my college clubwear (probably for the better), and I often find myself reaching for workish-type clothes, even when I’m not going to work.  One good example of this is button down shirts-- like the striped, silky, JCrew number I am wearing above.  I’ve been buying tons of button down shirts lately, and I have noticed that they are so versatile.  A cotton version can be used on its own as a cover-up for the beach or paired with jeans for a casual look that isn’t sloppy.  A silk (or polyester, which I actually sometimes prefer due to the wrinkle factor) can be used for the office, or a night out on the town.
