0:00 [Music] 0:07 hi every friends it's mel i am back in 0:10 the fitting room today to talk to you 0:11 about button downs there is nothing 0:14 easier for fall transition when we are 0:17 moving to cooler temperatures than 0:18 throwing on a button down i know you 0:20 might be thinking wow groundbreaking 0:22 like florals for spring but seriously 0:24 like you have to have a button down in 0:26 your closet and there is a fun and new 0:28 fresh way to wear it for this season so 0:31 first of all you want to pick out 0:32 something like this sanctuary modern 0:34 tunic called a modern tunic because it's 0:37 so great to wear out and open like a 0:39 jacket 0:40 super easy to wear curvy gals i am in a 0:43 medium so you decide if you want to go 0:45 all in on your true fit which typically 0:47 for me would be a large in something 0:49 oversized like this i like to pair it 0:51 down a little bit i'm in a medium 0:53 and then just a simple layer like our 0:55 dahlia tank 0:57 by z supply this is white it's got a 0:59 pretty scoop neck you know i love that 1:01 for curvy gals or busty gals 1:04 just a nice little layer underneath and 1:06 then do something really fun and sporty 1:08 um like this reece coated ankle pant 1:12 if you are not familiar with reese by 1:14 cut it is a great great silhouette it 1:17 comes in denim it comes in this 1:19 beautiful coated denim which i believe 1:20 is going to come in three colors so this 1:23 if you can tell on camera is like a 1:24 really pretty deep plum we'll also get 1:27 it in olive green and then a staple 1:29 black for your closet so a great little 1:31 pop of vegan 1:33 and then taking it back to something 1:34 sporty like this little tennis shoe 1:36 these are new p448s they are the skate 1:39 prism 1:40 and they're just they're fun neutral but 1:42 you've got kind of a herringbone pattern 1:45 on the side you've got this metallic on 1:47 the inside just super fun and playful 1:50 and then i just popped it back to simple 1:52 silver accessories i've got my new jenny 1:54 bird great new line of jewelry that 1:57 we're carrying this year 1:59 cuff in silver and then i also have on 2:02 these goriana i actually own these in 2:04 gold and i can't wait to pick them up in 2:05 silver this little goriana hoop so super 2:09 simple sporty chic i think you're gonna 2:11 love this look 2:12 okay look two all right so i have this 2:14 same modern tunic by sanctuary on just a 2:17 little bit different way to style it 2:19 taking it back to these flares by cut 2:23 this is the anna high rise flare if you 2:25 want to have legs for days this is a 2:28 really great jean to purchase so 2:31 again it's got a high rise this goes 2:32 right over kind of my belly button 2:35 really fitted through the thigh like a 2:37 flare should and then right out at the 2:39 knee which sets you up perfectly for 2:41 these kind of western inspired boots 2:44 that are so on trend for the fall season 2:46 this is by sundry it's their raquel boot 2:49 and it's just this pretty really pretty 2:51 light like coil color in suede gorgeous 2:55 very western inspired and then just to 2:57 take that a step further this great 2:59 little new pony bag this is a new line 3:02 of bags that we're going to carry this 3:03 fall this is a little backpack 3:05 and it is by prime cut which is a 3:07 women-owned business based out of oregon 3:10 and just look at that the leather is so 3:13 soft this great cow hair on the front 3:16 just a great little casual bag to throw 3:18 on and then just changing up the 3:20 accessories here a little bit you've got 3:22 this open collar so why not fill that in 3:24 with a great multi-strand necklace this 3:26 is by every this is the remy just a 3:29 little drop in a gold earring so then we 3:32 have amy this just double strand 3:34 beautiful resin bracelet just a great 3:37 completer to this outfit okay last look 3:40 so i have on the same sanctuary modern 3:43 tunic with a full tuck so the first 3:44 thing i would say is even because this 3:47 style is oversized don't be afraid to do 3:49 a full tuck with it and i love pairing 3:51 it back to this hudson 3:53 utility straight pant because you're 3:55 doing this over side blouse fully tucked 3:57 but this high rise kind of a paper bag 4:00 waist really kind of creates that 4:02 waistline when i'm hearing about this 4:03 pant i actually went to a 31 i'm always 4:06 kind of between a 30 31 it's a little 4:08 bit more rigid fabrication but it's 4:10 fitting all body types looks amazing on 4:13 petite as a almost a full-length pant 4:16 i'm 5'7 it's hitting me right at the 4:18 ankle and then it has all this great 4:20 utility style i'll just come in close so 4:21 you can see so a nice little oversized 4:23 pocket design front seam down the leg 4:26 which is really lengthening for your 4:28 legs and then this great little belt but 4:30 look you can use the belt or you can mix 4:32 that out with a favorite belt of your 4:34 own 4:35 and i love also built like jeans pockets 4:38 in the back really does kind of great 4:40 things here and then pairing it back to 4:42 just something really simple like these 4:44 vince camuto clogs they're also 4:46 shearling so they have a really chic 4:48 look with the gold details studs on the 4:51 side but hidden shearling in here so you 4:53 look chic but you're incredibly 4:54 comfortable like you have your home 4:56 little slippers on 4:57 and then just switched up the 4:58 accessories so this again jenny bird is 5:01 a new jewelry line for us this is the 5:03 duo strand surf side 5:05 piece and then goriana hoops i own these 5:08 so i would highly recommend these are 5:09 the loo hoops they go with everything 5:12 and then what a great little new triple 5:14 strand for fall this is all your fall 5:17 colors it picks up this olive green from 5:19 the pant you've got the corals you've 5:21 got all of the pretty fall colors in 5:23 here so if you're going to wear 5:24 something like this monochromatic but 5:26 you just want a little pop of color this 5:28 is a beautiful piece to pick up for fall 5:31 okay three different ways to style this
