Closed – Congratulations to commenter #366 - Lexiquin  Every woman needs this staple in her closet:  The classic white dress shirt.  It’s probably one of the most versatile pieces to have in your wardrobe.  You can pair it with jeans and pearls for that preppy casual look, or dress it up with slacks and a blazer for a more formal appearance.  But many women like me dread the the button down dress shirt.  Why?  Because if you have a chest, you’ll … [Read more...]
