I had to search all over this damn town for a white shirt that works!  Being blessed/cursed with a large bust means that wearing anything with buttons down the front is a gamble.  Inevitably, “the girls” burst through, incredible Hulk styles, exposing your undergarments, and turn a conservative look into something quite scandalous (and embarrassing).  This particular problem is especially disappointing while hunting for an oversized button up blouse.  Designers seem to have quite a different opinion on what ‘oversized’ means, because a lot of the time, what’s supposed to fit large, just barely accommodates the bosom.  Cue this lovely white button up shirt that I stumbled upon last month.  It’s roomy!  It’s crisp white!  It’s actually oversized on me!  I’m a petite little bird!  No really, there is something so liberating about wearing a menswear inspired top that neglects to show off my figure.  When paired with my large glasses and a red lip colour, I truly feel comfortable and confident.  I call this one my artist’s blouse now because I feel like this is what a super cool artist would wear.  I’m not one, so maybe that’s way off, but maybe just let me have this one.

    This is an amazing shirt! You mention getting it from The Archetype–is that the brand of the shirt? I too struggle with sizing issues on button ups!
