This is September in a blouse. The brown plaid brings in all those rich fall tones, but the feminine silhouette keeps it from feeling like another traditional plaid shirt.
I love this with denim because the blouse does all the work. Add a great brown loafer or ballet flat, a suede bag and simple jewelry for an easy outfit that feels completely pulled together.
Why I Love It
Brown plaid feels instantly fall
Feminine alternative to a classic plaid button-down
Easy to wear while the weather is still transitioning
Makes everyday denim feel more polished
Beautiful with chocolate brown, cognac and suede accessories
Can easily go from casual daytime to dinner
Dear Lucy Edit
Plaid, but make it pretty. 🍂
I love plaid for fall, but I don't always want the traditional oversized flannel shirt. This gives you the same fall feeling in a much more feminine silhouette.
I'd pair it with relaxed denim, a brown loafer and a cognac or suede bag. It's simple, but everything about it says September.
This is the kind of top I'd buy because you don't have to think very hard about how to wear it.
