The first step to a comprehensive wardrobe is having the staples. The second is knowing how to accessorize and add personality to them.
So we consulted with the uber-amaze celebrity stylist, Monica Rose to help us create 4 completely different, fashion forward looks from one closet must: the basic white button up.

I love your LEAF videos. They are so much fun. I really want to try these looks but I was wondering if you had a suggestion for a cheaper alternative for the white shirt. I'm a college student and can't justify spending 140 dollars for a shirt right now.
