Double Plaid

In my book fall equals plaid. The more plaid the better. Which is why I'm never taking off these amazing plaid espadrilles. And this cute plaid tee will be on heavy rotation as well. 

Yet Another Casual Friday

Ahh, all my finals are finally over and now I get to be super lazy for a bit. Well, at least until my winter session courses start (but those are online, so they can all be done while still wearing pajamas). But for now, I will be embracing laziness with super comfy and easy to wear pieces, such as a plaid shirt. This plaid shirt is not only super easy to wear, but it is also the comfiest shirt I own, and it can be worn in so many ways. 

Peeks Of Plaid

Midterms have turned my brain to mush, so I honestly can't think of anything to write right now. Too much math on the brain to think about anything else. But for now enjoy the photos and shop above and I'll be back with something to say tomorrow.

Easy Layers

One thing I love to do in fall is layer an open button-down with an open jacket. I like the effect it creates with the layers just peeking through, especially when done with something patterned like this plaid shirt. It also has a certain ease about it, and I definitely like that because I don't believe in over-complicating the process of getting dressed in the morning. Plus, taking your favorite little black dress from the summer and transitioning into fall is a good way to get more wear out of your favorites. 

Leather Weather

One of the reasons I could not hold off blogging any longer was that there was no way I would miss out on fall fashion. Fall is definitely my favorite season, I love being able to slowly pile on layer after layer as it gets cooler (but before it gets freaking freezing). The only problem is, sometimes fall weather can be unpredictable. The solution: keep an extra layer around your waist, then if it gets a little cooler you are prepared. 

For me, this outfit is all about the details, like the lace detailing on my tank top or the bit of metallic on my shoes. Plus, I love the idea of an all black look using different textures. And the plaid around my waist just breaks it up a bit. And then there's the pants, I swear I never feel cooler than when I'm wearing my leather pants (which are now on super sale, go go go!). 

Back In Plaid

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Blouse Equipment | Boots Vince Camuto

I think it's pretty well established by now that I have a love, or pretty strong obsession, for all things plaid. So in that case, a perfectly plaid blouse is nothing new or exciting. Although I must say I love the colors of this blouse in particular because the pale pinks and yellow in the print make it perfect for spring. But the exciting part is that I bought it from The Outnet for 65% off. And while Equipment blouses are gorgeous, they do not come cheap, so getting one for more than half off is amazing. The best part, they have tons more styles on the site, plus lots of other brands too. Shop some of my other Equipment picks (all on sale at The Outnet) below:

Checked Out

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Blouse Tildon, Similar | Coat Similar

This coat was another find on last week's magical trip to the front hall closet, and I wish I had known it was sitting there sooner. What better way to add to a simple monochromatic outfit than to throw on a checked coat? It adds something special to the boring old jeans and white blouse combo. Had I known about this coat's existence sooner it would have no doubt made a frequent appearance in my winter wardrobe. Fortunately, though, or unfortunately, there's still time to wear it now. 

DIY Plaid Skirt

What I'm Wearing: Plaid Shirt Rails | Shirt Splendid | Boots Zara, Similar

I bought a lot of plaid this past season, but the one item I didn't buy was a plaid skirt. And though in the back of my head I was wanting one, I kept choosing other items instead. But then I found some internet inspiration and decided to make my own plaid skirt using my favorite plaid shirt. It's very simple. All I did was button up the shirt part way (I did about 3/4 of the way up for a higher waist, but button as many as you'd like) and then I just folded the top part down and tied the arms. The result, a plaid skirt that resembles the dressed down look of having a shirt tied around your waist. And then a simple black shirt keeps the look nice and simple. 

Classically Plaid

What I'm Wearing: Jeans J brand | Shirt Rails | Blazer ASOS | Boots Zara | Beanie BP

Although I do think I have somewhat of a distinct style, I am always trying new things. And one of my favorite things to do is to mix and match different styles. Because why box yourself in to one style when you can play with all of them? So, for that reason, I decided to mix a classic blazer, with the grunginess of plaid. What it created is, I think, a pretty classically cool look.

Snow Day

What I'm Wearing: Jeans J Brand | Sweater Maje | Blouse PJK Patterson J. Kincaid | Boots Zara

I love snow. I know I've been complaining about the cold weather lately, but I really do love winter. I couldn't imagine ever living anywhere where you can't experience all four seasons. And with cold weather comes the fun of winter fashion, or basically throwing on as many pieces of clothing as possible but making it look like it's all done on purpose. So what better than a super cozy sweater complete with zipper details on the back and on the cuffs? Add a plaid blouse underneath for extra warmth, and of course because it looks good as well. Then jeans, boots, done. 

Winter Time

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Coat The Kooples | Scarf Alexander McQueen | Beanie Addison, Similar  | Boots Tory Burch 

I don't care what the calendar says, I'm officially calling it winter. I mean it snowed yesterday, and it is seriously cold outside. But on the plus side, I spent this weekend in the city as opposed to going back to Long Island and holiday time in NYC is just beautiful so I'm not complaining that much. (okay, maybe I'm still complaining quite a bit)  And I've gotten a lot of use out of my new coat. It's a simple, classic black coat, but it has the most amazing leather detailing on the pockets, cuffs, and zipper. I also got to wear my Addison plaid beanie, which I am just in love with.
