Preppy Plaid




I have been so excited to wear this plaid shirt ever since it arrived and it’s turned out to be a surprisingly versatile piece.  I wore it on Christmas day layered under an ivory sweater with bright red skinnies, dressed it up for church with my leather pencil skirt + heels…and here, paired with classic pieces, it takes on a polished prep-school vibe.  I think I may have found a new rival to my chambray shirt!




What I’m wearing:

J. Crew shirt (on sale here), c/o The Impeccable Pig blouse, Forever 21 blazer (similar) & jeans (here), H&M coat (similar here or here), Chinese Laundry pumps (on sale here), gifted DKNY bag (similar), H&M necklace (similar), Michael Kors watch (similar), Vintage bracelet, Dockers aviators (similar), Lips: L’Oreal Infallible Red Fatale

    I've been wearing plaid more than ever this season, too! And like you, I think I've actually worn my plaid blouses more than my chambray blouse. Who'd have thought?

    That jacket is amazing! Looks just like the J.Crew ones that were so big (and so expensive) last year.

    I love that shirt! I fell in love with it when I saw it in the catalog…you completely nailed the styling. It looks very pulled together but effortless. I like that you paired it with jeans for an even more casual vibe! PS. I have never seen that much snow. We just had our first "snow" and the kids ran out to play in a whole inch of it that was gone by noon!!

    Hi Kimberly! I love the plaid shirt under the sweater. It's such a cozy but chic look. As we have been experiencing loads of sub-zero temperature days, I love the fact that you are showcasing such great cold-weather outfits.
