Dressing Up Plaid Shirts & Link Up
I’m so excited to share this purple and black plaid with ya’ll today! Awhile back, I posted a similar plaid (that really old post here) that I just loved and wore all the time. But it’s a much tighter fit then it used to be ;), and I really wanted to find a similar color scheme with a looser, comfier fit. This one is probably the most similar I have found with the black background and purple and white plaid design. It also has a hint of red. It’s a lightweight flannel material, so it’s going to be nice to wear in winter too. It’s the perfect plaid to replace my old fave.
Since I love finding ways to dress up my casual items. I wanted to share a few ways I dress up plaid shirts. For starters, the easy option – add a chic heel. These black heels have been my ride or die for work since I purchased them. I wear them about 3 times a week, and they are still really comfy.
Another idea for dressing up plaid is all about the accessories. I picked up these gunmetal statement earrings recently. I had two style ideas in mind for them – 1) Dressing up a basic tee and 2) Holiday earrings!! Imagine them with a chic black sweater and black leggings for a Christmas party outfit. Cute, right?!?! I loved the way the gunmetal complimented this plaid. I think it gave the look a little more of an edgy and trendy vibe.
Last, you can never go wrong with a great black pair of skinny jeans. Such a simple and easy way to instantly dress up and add chicness to any outfit. You may remember me mentioning these Hudson jeans during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. They were the pair I was waiting to come back in stock in my size. Well they did, and I’m in love. Ya’ll AG and Paige have been my go to denim brands, but this pair OMG so comfy for a skinny jean. I’m going to give them a few months of washing and wearing, but Hudson may be making it’s way on to my list of must own denim brands!

Burgundy Floral Blouse for Work & Play + Link Up
Hi! I hope you all had a good weekend! I purchased this burgundy floral blouse during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, because I felt it had some good versatility to it. It’s lightweight so seasonally it can work in hot summer weather, but the the colors are perfect for fall. Also Texas fall is still warm, so the lightweight aspect helps there too.
I also love the kind of boxier design of the top to perfectly pair with my black skinny jeans and heels for a dressier weekend outfit. For a super similar work version of this outfit, you can pair this top with black skinny slacks like my go to pair. I actually wore that look to work recently. You can also tuck this top into a pencil skirt for an additional work look. I also really want to pair this top with gray jeans for another casual look.
The back of this top has a cute little v cutout detail, and you can still wear a regular bra with it. I think it’s a cute detail if you want to wear your hair up. Also, this top also comes in black if you need a really good basic black top for work.
Alright ya’ll it’s Style File Link Up Day so keep scrolling for more outfit inspiration, and thanks for swinging by today!
