I am really excited about today’s outfit. But it’s certainly not for the reasons you’re likely thinking. It’s clearly not my most inventive look to date. In fact, it’s the opposite, my go-to work uniform when I’m in a rush or feeling uninspired. A button down with a pencil skirt and skinny belt always works for me.
But the real reason I’m excited about today’s look is that I finally got to break out my first flannel plaid top of the season. I bought this last month when I went on my retail therapy outing to J.Crew Factory, but since then it’s been sitting lonesomely in my shopping bag. Finally, with the humidity almost gone and a crispness to the air, it was time to break it out.
I can’t wait to wear it again! What are you most looking forward to wearing this Fall?
Top: J.Crew Factory Button-Down Flannel (currently on sale!), Skirt: J.Crew, Shoes: Tory Burch (similar), Belt: H&M (similar), Necklace: Stella & Dot Somervell, Earrings: Stella & Dot Nancy Studs, Bracelets: J.Crew (similar), Stella & Dot Renegade
Great outfit! I love how you dressed up the plaid top for work. My plaid button-downs have been calling my name from the closet, I can’t to break them out soon!
Love the outfit!! I can’t wait to break out the sweaters!!
This is the perfect work outfits–you look so adorable! I’m loving the accents of silver, too–I’m usually a gold girl, and I forget how much I like that OTHER metallic!
Great outfit and I totally relate to purchasing something and having it teasing you by having it just hang there waiting in the closet. My item that is doing that right now is a grey leather jacket…I love pairing leather jackets with dresses and booties, my favorite look for fall.
I would be super excited to wear Plaid too. I am eyeing several Plaid Tops in stores now. Love how you styled your Pencil Skirt. Your Necklace & Bracelet are simply Gorgeous. I also wore a Pencil Skirt today (come check it out). Also, thanks for linking up with Agnes and I (I was co-hosting). I’d love for you to check out my look today and to please support my blog by following. As you know I am a regular reader of your blog & love your style, Lauren.
Thanks so much, Ada. =)
Cute way to wear plaid in the workplace! I’m still in denial about fall coming but buying new clothes helps, haha. 🙂

So so so so cute! I love you in this plaid and those flats are amazing! Super jealous!
Love this look, it’s simple and yet put together. Usually on Friday’s we get to dress casually but tomorrow we have important clients visiting so I may have to copy this look!

I love plaid button downs. I don’t know why I didn’t as a teenager. I suppose I thought they were too old-ladyish right along with loafers. I now own at least 3 pairs of loafers and 5 button downs.
plaid flannel is indeed a sure sign of fall and cooler temps! love those silver flats of yours as well!
You have totally gotten me on board with J Crew pencil skirts! They were my go to other than dresses for the summer. I am excited to see how you are styling them for the fall/winter because I don’t want to stop wearing them for the season and go back to boring old pants!
I’m so excited to break out my plaid! I can’t believe I haven’t done it yet!

Adorable top!! I’m glad the weather finally cooperated for you. I have a bunch of new fall clothes that I’m excited to wear now that it’s cooled off a little.

This outfit is so cute and it is perfect for work. I just ordered this shirt yesterday and it is on backorder until October 10th 🙁 I guess I will have to wait to enjoy it until then 🙂 You look great!

I really like how you dressed up a plaid shirt! It looks great with silver shoes and a statement necklace. I have some plaid shirts on their way to me and can’t wait to try my own version. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love that top! I always love flannel tops on people but have yet to buy one for myself, ha ha.
Love this outfit. I adore the colour blue. Love those TB flats. Gorgeous. Thank you for linking up this week. See you next Thursday.

Flannels and crisp air??? What is that? I am just happy that we are in the 80s today!! 🙂 Love the simplicity of this look with a flash of metallic! 🙂
Sometimes all you need is a pencil skirt and a cute button up! Love this simple look. Can’t wait to break out my plaid!

Totally loving your flannel shirt, it is so cute!
I love this! I am a nurse so I don’t get to dress up to work at all. This makes me wish I could!
Having a go to look that always works is very important. I think a button down with a pencil skirt looks great on you. Are your Tory Burch flats comfy? I need a couple new pairs of flats that are comfortable for my long days running around for work.

YAY for plaid! And your TB flats are perfect!
