pretty charming ect. here you go.

CUTE AS A BUTTON which means “cute, charming, attractive, almost always with the connotation of being small, 1868 (from the original 1731 English meaning of ‘acute’ or clever). Cute as a bug’s ear, 1930; cute as a bug in a rug, 1942; cute as a button, 1946. Cute and keen were two of the most overused slang words of the late 1920s and 1930s.” From “Listening to America” by Stuart Berg Flexner (Simon and Schuster, New York, 1992.)

The expression usually refers to someone who is petite, SMALL and cute… since buttons are usually small, and often, to some, they look just as cute as can be! Nothing offensive about a button, and some can hardly resist picking one up, or fooling around with a button on their shirt, or whatever. Not to worry, it’s good!
