One of my favorite things is plaid...on anything. It's just so easy to style and literally goes with everything. The print mixing abilities are endless and layering possibilities are the ultimate for fall and winter style.
I must say though, sometimes plaid speaks for itself and looks just as fabulous and effortless standing alone with a favorite pair of denim, ankle boots, fun accessories and a basic tote. That was my mindset when I was styling this top. I tend to over think outfits from time to time and going back to simple basic styles like this one is a sure way to feel comfortable and stylish without much thought.
Life can get insanely busy and calendar complicated. We are always in a rush with the kids, work, dinner, errands and all the added appointments/commitments in between. It's refreshing to be able to put together a style that is timeless and appropriate for a busy week or even a laid back weekend. This one just works and I fully intend on repeating and swapping out similar items to replicate the causal fall look.

Love the grey on grey! Talk about 50 shades of grey! haha jk :)
But I love the pearls with plaid. Definitely an interesting pair, and you pull it off well!!

Dear Sunny Vintage
Pearls and Plaid are one of my favorite looks in the fall. I think your plaid shirt goes really well with those pearls as the buttons give off a pearly look in your photos.
This outfit looks like something I would wear in real life! Except for maybe the boots, only because I've lost touch with high heels. (Hashtag "weak ankles" haha) I'd probably swap them out for some sneakers, either nikes or chucks. But that's just me. Happy Wednesday Shanna! :)
Loving this look! I love that necklace and it looks great against the plaid!!
Love this simple classic look that you totally made look super chic by adding all the pretty accessories!! Love the pearls with the plaid not a combo I would have thought of. The tote and booties are adorable!! Hope you are having a great week Shanna:)

Well another day of shopping with Shanna for me(: I added this top to my cart. I have gray denim and a fun pearl necklace, so I think I will be set! I love the bag too, but that will have to wait for Santa(: Susan
Great look! I love plaid too! It's so classic and fun at the same time.

So true about plaid...great for layering, great for pattern mixing. And of course, you know I love the pearls!!
Pearls and plaid? Love it! What a great way to accessorize this classic outfit. I'm also loving the grey jeans and booties. I've yet to find a pair of grey jeans. Love how they look. Have a great rest of the week, Shanna! ~Cynthia

I love love love plaid. That's a great one! I like it paired with the gray too, it gives it a little edge.
I just don't know how you do it all! You always look so pretty and put together and you juggle so much!

I love that you chose grey skinnies and booties to pair with your plaid shirt. So unexpected and chic! This a very functional look that doesn't sacrifice style for comfort! My kind of weekend look!

Like you, I definitely tend to over think my outfits. This is a perfect example of keeping it simple! I love that plaid shirt and can't believe it is JCP! I always forget to shop there, so thank you for the reminder! Loving that chunky pearl necklace (or is it 2 necklaces?)

Love the bag. Just snagged it on Macys.com for $82! I'll be linking up later...gotta go take my pics.
love this combo, the necklace(s) are beautiful!
Love everything about your outfit....you look stunning xx
"Calendar complicated" -- such a true statement! Love this whole outfit, especially that bag! Plaid is such a no-brainer :)
love the plaid and the pearls and that is not because today I also wore that combination.. great minds I guess,
loving the grey though
This plaid shirt is SO similar to the JCrew Factory one from last year! I love it with the pearls, I did the same thing with mine. Great minds think alike ;-)

I really don't think it is possible to have enough plaid in your wardrobe! I am like, oh yes I already have a red and navy one... but how about green now?! Haha it's a problem. You look fantastic!
