Helping women love what they wear on a budget

9 Fall Outfit Ideas With a Plaid Shirt

 9 Fall Outfit Ideas With a Plaid Shirt

October is the best month of the fall season in my opinion!  Football, Cider Mills, Pumpkin carving, Halloween!  It’s always a fun month.  I feel like there is no better wardrobe staple to have in October than a plaid shirt.  It’s even better if you can find a plaid shirt that goes with everything in your wardrobe!

I recently was on the hunt for a plaid shirt to wear this fall.  I am picky with plaid shirts because for whatever reason I have had a lot of plaid shirts that I just didn’t love.  I don’t like a stiff or heavy button-down shirt, so when I found this soft flannel plaid shirt at Maurices I knew that it was the perfect shirt to add to my fall wardrobe.  I love the colors in this shirt!  It has gray, pink, orange and white.  I find that it works with so many different pieces in my wardrobe!  Did I mention it was a great price too!!  At full price, it’s $30, but I used my rewards couples just for signing up for Maurices’ reward program and got 15% off + $5 off!  It made the shirt under $20!!
You may have already seen me style this shirt a couple of weeks ago (HERE) for my mini fall weekend wardrobe capsule, but this plaid shirt deserves a post of its own.  That is why I want to share with you 9 fall outfits with this affordable fall plaid shirt!

    Hey! LOVE the blog! For this shirt, did you size up or stay true to size?
