Anne Fontaine, that is! Just because it is a hot day in August need not mean you have to wear only bright colors and sleeveless dresses….a classic Anne Fontaine blouse is appropriate year round….once you try one on you will understand the appeal – the fabric is luxurious, the fit is flattering….they look great on their own, layered over a camisole, or worn under a jacket with the cuffs popped….

Anne Fontaine is best known for their classic white shirts, but they make plenty of black as well….this is my latest purchase,  a soft pima jersey body with cotton collar/cuffs and signature cufflinks….

Yeah, these shirts are definitely pricey, but well worth the investment as you will wear them over and over again…..if you can’t justify the price tag?  Revolve Consignment Boutiques often have this brand at a fraction of full retail…..

On this warm August day I wore the shirt over a white cotton pencil skirt (Ann Taylor), with the top and bottom two buttons undone….added a skinny camel belt and a choker of brushed metallic beads……

A straw tote (Furla) – equipped with scarf (Echo) – and off I go…..

A perfect business casual outfit!
