Le Plaid Blouse.

Plaid is everywhere right now, especially in the form of the must-have glen plaid blazer for this fall.  But I’ve also started lusting after plaid blouses — the perfect way to add interest to your outfit without requiring too much effort.  Below, my top picks:

THIS NAVY FLANNEL, WHICH I’D WEAR TUCKED INTO HIGH-WAISTED DENIM AND UNBUTTONED TO THERE WITH HEELS

THIS I-MEAN-BUSINESS LELA ROSE SHOWSTOPPER

THIS FUN CORDUROY STYLE (REMEMBER TO GO WEST, YOUNG LADY!)

THIS UBER-COMFORTABLE POPOVER TUNIC — PERFECT WITH LEGGINGS/JEANS AT HOME

THIS ON-TREND PUFF SLEEVED STATEMENT

THIS SLOUCHY STYLE, WHICH I’D DEFINITELY WEAR TUCKED IN, PROBABLY WITH BOOTIES (ALTERNATLEY: THIS SIMILAR, LESS VOLUMINOUS VARIATION OR THIS GAP STEAL)

THIS FASHION-FORWARD ZARA STEAL (LOVE THE YELLOW!)

P.S.  Not a blouse, but this dress is on my wishlist.  You can get the look for less — and in blouse form — with this or this.

P.P.S.  When the whole wide world is fast asleep.

P.P.P.S.  What’s the story behind your song?
