The white button down is a staple that every woman should have in their closet. This inexpensive piece is as versatile as it is simple. We consider it a wardrobe necessity that is also a perfect canvas for creating any look.  Here are some of our favorite celebs rocking the button down, as well as ways for you to recreate the looks. And for all you recessionistas, no part of these ensembles (with the exception of a cute little coach bag that we couldn’t resist!) costs more that $50.  Check them out in the gallery, and read more about where to get the looks below:
