all buttoned up


There's something about a shirt that's all 
buttoned up. It's sleek, clean & crisp. I need to be in the mood for wearing one though, because there are times when I cannot stand anything wrapped around my neck, hence the lack of scarves in my wardrobe! I'm working on it though.








I hope all of you are having a fabulous week and are enjoying all of the fun that style brings with it. Thanks for all of your support with my blog, For the Love of Audrey. I am truly grateful. x

How do you prefer to wear your shirts? Buttoned up or buttoned down?

Yours in style,

Suzi x 

What I'm Wearing: Shirt-Ralph Lauren, Skirt-Yeojin Bae, Wedges-Repetto.

    Looks great, especially with that skirt!

    If I really HAVE to wear a shirt I wear it buttoned down. I tend to avoid shirts as much as possible though!

      Thanks Mica!
      Do you find shirts uncomfortable? I always prefer buying a shirt with a percentage of elastin in it for comfort. The fabric has to have a bit of give in it!

    Really cute shirt! Looks so crisp and clean.

    Since it's winter, and freezing in NYC, I like wearing mine buttoned up with a cute cuff necklace or scarf for added warmth.

      Thanks! Love Ralph Lauren shirts!
      Must keep your styling option in my mind for when it is Winter here in Australia.

      You're a sweetheart Alexandra! A white shirt is an item I will always have in my closet. I do enjoy adding a pop of colour here and there as well.

    This looks great on you! I've been wanting to try this, but I don't have many collared shirts. So I guess I prefer it buttoned down. :)

      Thanks for your comment Catherine! Maybe one day you will find just the right collared shirt for you & wear it buttoned up! Shirts are extremely versatile & this particular shirt also looks great with a few buttons left undone.

    Great look!

    a crisp clean white shirt is one of my favorite things to wear as well! I always have at least 3-4 in my closet.

    you look very simple and elegant! sometimes less is more and you def. let the shirt speak for itself!.

    great blog btw! will be back very soon!

      Matthew, I love my white shirts! I have a handful of them in my closet! Some with 3/4 sleeves, others long sleeves. They're incredibly versatile. I think they are such an essential, workable item. I like to keep my look simple without letting the accessories detract from the garments.
      I'm glad you're enjoying my blog!

    I like both. Like you, I have to be in the mood for my shirt buttoned up all the way.

    Love how you styled this outfit.

      Thanks Maycie! The most comfortable fabric to date for a buttoned up shirt has to be viscose! I have a gorgeous silk chiffon shirt which features a viscose placket & collar. It's so soft, you barely even realise you have it buttoned all the way up! Will definitely be on the lookout for another one like this.

gelati in the gardens

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!  For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette. Check out

Olga De Polga

Melbourne based designer Olga de Polga  is renowned for their use of colour and vibrant patterns. I really enjoy adding a pop of colour when I style outfits, so if you love colour, you are bound to find something fabulous. On my recent visit, I picked up two pairs of Lillian pants, a new style to ODP, in both pink and caramel. These colours go so well with other pieces in my wardrobe. Style tip: I will not add anything to my wardrobe if it doesn't go with other pieces, so I am very particular when choosing a new piece to add to my collection. The cords fit really well, sitting at mid-waist and fall at the perfect length. The corduroy fabric is soft and feels so cosy, so perfect for Winter here in Melbourne!  Have you visited Olga de Polga? If so, what are your favourite pieces? If you haven't been in store yet, make sure you do so soon, because some styles are selling out really fast. Have a great rest of the week! Yours in style, Suzi x  What I'm Wearing ODP Lillian pants

Grace Kelly: Style Icon

Some of you may know already that I recently went on a country  girls' getaway with my mother to Bendigo to view the Grace Kelly: A Style Icon exhibition. I am so thrilled that I did! It was simply amazing.  The package I purchased was the Country Girls' Getaway, which included one nights accomadation at the City Centre Motel (4 star), breakfast, in-house Grace Kelly Movies, plus 2 x tickets to the exhibition. The special pack I received upon check-in, which included a terrific shopping and dining guide, special discounts and maps. The exhibition was held at the Bendigo Art Gallery. The session was timed by the hour to prevent the influx of visitors, which I felt worked really well. There was plenty of room and I didn't feel like I needed to hurry up, so instead, took my time, taking in every detail. I could have spent all day looking at every single minute detail of each and every one of the stunning gowns that adorned this beau
