Button up or button down?

It was the late 70s, summer and we were in Northern New Jersey and my sister were rummaging through some black bin bags that were dropped off at our house. This was not unusual, coming from a large family and we were given what we called “Hand me downs”. I’m not sure where they came from, possibly the catholic church or local support groups, they would appear at the front door . My older sisters pulled at the bags possessively, grabing brightly coloured blouses and old blue jeans, we all scrambled for our sizes. I was surprised when the oldest of my sisters, reached for a large crisp white men’s button down shirt, she carefully buttered about three up , then tied the tails in a soft knot in front, she shifted her bra fluffed her hair pulled it down so just enough showed, she looked so smart, yet casual and very sexy, I thought she looked like a movie star. In the resent article by Lair Borrell-Persson wrote about “19 Inspiring Button -Ups” I was reminded of how good it feels and looks to ware my men’s shirts with blue beans in late summer. Easy and versatile always looks good , I think I’ll head up to the charity shop and do some good while finding some useful “hand- me-downs” happy Thursday and thanks for visiting
