Go take a peak in your closet, and make sure you have these 2 items hanging there. A white button down shirt and a simple, neutral, light-weight sweater. Both are an absolute must for the fall and winter and can be worn in so many ways. Business casual, out for errands or lunch with friends, and even a little dressier with a pair of heels.
Here are some option for sweaters and button downs that you can add to your Christmas list.

So true! I wear look 1 and 2 a lot, but I've never tried number 3.

I love that bubble hem skirt! Simple sweaters and button downs are practically my uniform as a teacher =) Stopping by from WIWW!
Can I steal outfit #3?! Do I spy yellow on those shoes?! ;) you know I'm in love!
You are so cute!
love seeing your outfit 3 ways! I LOVE that scarf in the middle one!
I do have those 2 things! Why have I never put them together?! Super cute outfits but I especially love that skirt!
I LOVE that gorgeous black skirt! I have to try this.

I have been looking for a white button down forever, I cant seem to find the right fit. I love the versatility of those pieces too.
Great options! I love all three outfits!
check and check! ;) love outfit number two!
What a great idea! I love pairing up basics in new ways and never would've considered the bubble skirt. So glad to have found you!

Love the neon heels with the skirt! I think you should wear that for Thanksgiving dinner!
love it Ashley! you can mix it up with so much!
I def need a lightweight sweater! There's some great ones at Target right now! Great looks, Ash!

Love those outfits!
Love them all! I need to get a new white button down, mine's looking a little dingy. But then again covering it up with the sweater might be just the ticket to stretch it out a little longer :)
lovely outfits! liked the second one the best.

I love when people change up their looks like this. It's really helpful to those of us who may be a little fashionably challenged. ;-)
I don't have a neutral sweater, but you're right, it's a necessary staple.

I have a sweater just like it. I guess all i need is the white button shirt. I love the black skirt btw, adorable. Oh and the boots too.
My sister lives in Charlotte, no too far.
I love the way you styled it for #2- so ME!
Love it! Thanks for the reminder........to remix a few closet staples.
I NEED outfit #2!!
I don't have the sweaters, I am ruined! Good thing Black Friday is just around the corner :) I'll steal some deals and have a prepared closet in no time
Hi Ashley! I love this type of post where a featured item is styled in multiple different ways! Great outfits... that scarf is so pretty! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your boys!
You can never go wrong layering a white oxford and a simple sweater. I love all three of the looks you put together, but especially the last one - there's something slightly tutu-esque about that black skirt that I just love!
