SHOPCOPPER: BUTTON DOWN SURPLICE TOP

Ruffled, puffed, and bell sleeves have been making waves for quite sometime now. Recently, I’ve found great affinity towards those. One of my recent acquisitions was this Somebody To Love Button down surplice top from Shop Copper

I bought this with me to Singapore last April. It’s not your typical button down shirt, mind you. It’s more than that. it’s like a button down shirt in steroids. Puffed sleeves, smocked waist, and a surplice neckline that extends to a button down closure at front all rolled into one and what have you got?

Easily became my favorite purchase last summer.

Since I am going to a rather humid territory and instead of wearing it the usual way, I made it more weather-appropriate.

Here are 2 quick fixes:

1. Unbuttoned the top half of the shirt to further the surplice design of the top

2. Then made it to an almost-but not quite over the shoulder top to highlight my clavicles
