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!

I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a litt I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a little boring! Here’s my outfit formal for keeping my summer outfits from falling short! 👇

1️⃣ Create shape and balance! I did this by adding a belt just above my natural waist. 
2️⃣ Add Jewelry. Do not skip this step! No outfit is complete without at least 2 pieces of jewelry. 
3️⃣ Define the style of the outfit with shoes! The style of shoes you pick will define your outfit. Example Sneakers=casual, Heels=dressy, in this case I went with an elevated casual sandal. It’s a step up from casual, but not too dressy. Elevated casual is my personal favorite style because it can go either way. 😉
4️⃣ Complete the look with some accessories! A cute hand bag or sunglasses 😎 

Follow this summer outfit formula to keep all your outfits looking cute and stylish this summer!

I’ve always found thrifting a great way to keep wardrobe fresh without spending a lot of money, but over the last 5 years or so my thrifting strategy has changed from getting the most for my money to intentionally looking for brands and styles that are usually out of my price range at retail prices and finding them for less buying them second hand!
