Styling a Classic White Button Up for Fall

September 21, 2018

I’ve talked about white button downs before. And how they’re not really my thing when I styled one for summer. But with fall around the corner it’s time to start using them as a layering piece under cozy cardigans. ALL THE COZY CARDIGANS!

I got this berry pocket cardigan for under $14 in one of the most unexpected places…WalMart! No, this post is NOT sponsored by them, but I’ll just keep telling everyone about the clothes at WalMart until they realize that it’s true and they have to see for themselves.

In addition to cardigans, I am also all about those berets come fall. If you recall, last winter I wore a camel one often. Like, annoyingly often (here, here, and here on the blog). And in preparation for this coming fall and winter I ordered the same exact one in gray. Because why not? I was telling my friend how I almost don’t feel like my outfit is complete in the cooler months without one!

If you follow me on Instagram stories then you know that we just received all of our household goods (military term for our stuff) last week! We spent the following few days going through boxes and setting up the apartment. I was so excited to have all of my clothes and finally stop living out of a suitcase! I set aside a lot of stuff for fall (I’m over you, summer) and got rid of a lot of stuff as well. It feels good to start with a fresh closet for this season!

Do you do a closet refresh every season?

Quite possibly the worst cart pic I've ever taken, Quite possibly the worst cart pic I've ever taken, but so excited about these finds from my second thrift trip yesterday! 🛒First time finding Yumi Kim (probably will keep for me 😜), and also found women's  Harley Davidson boots, a Wildfox graphic sweatshirt, Boden printed dress, Peloton bra, some Lululemon, and best of all: FREEBIRDS! 👢 #fullcartclub #countdowntofriday

I took this photo 10 months ago to share some of m I took this photo 10 months ago to share some of my favorite thrift finds in a blog post, and I'm currently wearing this vintage sequin sweater today ❇️ I bought it for 99¢ during @arcthrift 's annual sweater sale, and it needed some help. I used dish soap to get a few white spots out of the fabric, and mended a small tear at the seam 🪡 I don't normally give that much care to my thrift finds, but this silk/angora/rabbit hair blend was so soft and the sequins are in perfect shape, so I gave it a shot! Very glad that I did ☺️ #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday

Feeling like a million bucks in this perfect condi Feeling like a million bucks in this perfect condition vintage suede and wool coat I got at the Goodwill bins 😝 It's THE winter vacation coat if you ask me ❄️ Since you pay by the pound at the bins, this stunner cost about $5 😱 As a matter of fact, most of my outfit is secondhand: Brooks Brothers turtleneck, J. Crew jeans, and Coach purse via the thrift, and Kenneth Cole suede boots from Mercari 🏷️ Now heading home from a wonderful ski weekend in Beaver Creek 🎿 #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday

9 years ago we were on our honeymoon in Iceland 🇮🇸 I just had to download this image off of Facebook (hence the low quality!) to post because this coat is thrifted 😂 I still have this coat and need to wear it more! It's a simple, long houndstooth coat. I found it at a big flea market in Florence when I was studying abroad for 25 euro. Once a thrifter, always a thrifter 😝 #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday
