A Great Button Down Top for Fall || Although it’s still 80 degrees in San Diego, fall has officially begun as of today.  Helllllooo fall!  I’m convinced that San Diego is a season behind.  While it’s everyone’s time to cool down, September and October are some of our warmest months. If any of you are thinking about taking a trip to San Diego, come in Sept/Oct. and you’ll have the best weather, I promise.

With that being said, let’s celebrate the arrival of fall and pretend it’s cooler shall we?

One of my favorite types of tops to wear when the weather cools down is a great button down top for fall.  Why?

LOOK 1 | Gal Going Out

Whether daytime or night, you can sass up this great plaid button down with a pair of leggings (in this case faux leather leggings), heels, and fun gold accessories.  I’d wear this during the day, meeting up with some friends, or going out to dinner with my hubby at night.  And in case a fall chill is in the air, you can throw on a great blazer.

LOOK 2 | Daytime Sparkle

Who says you can’t wear glitter during the day?  I’m all for it.  In this case, you can dress down the top with a pair of jeans and flats but still have a bit of sparkle with a fun shoe!

Style Tip:  For you ladies who might be a bit bustier, shall we say, and think a button down doesn’t fit right on you, the safest bet is to go a size up and take it to a tailor to have the sides taken in.  That way, it’ll fit you all around.

LOOK 3 | Holiday 

It’s easy to dress up a button down top with a fabulous skirt, like this gorgeous sequin A-Line swing skirt from Mindy Mae’s Market!  It might not be too early to start thinking about those holiday parties, ladies.  Any weddings coming up in October or November?  Outfit done and done.

Style Tip: Think about pairing fun patterns, like plaid, polka dots, and animal print together to create a
