Plaid Prints


fall-outfit-plaid-shirt

October is easily my favorite month of the year. (And it’s not even my birthday month!) I love everything fall stands for… Football, pumpkin-spice and apple-cider-flavored anything, stunning foliage, leaves crunching beneath yourย booties, cashmere scarves, cozy sweaters, plaid, chambray, and maybe my most favorite of all — piling on the layers.

Sometimes I think about how I really need a “fall body” instead of the typically summer body. I like to pile on the longer shirts and blouses, sweaters, vests, blazers, and jackets. So much so that I look like a Michelin man from time to time. I was actually on a date last week and he asked me, “Wait, how many jackets do you have on right now?!” Hahaha, I can’t even make this up. Man-repelling at it’s finest, I must say.

I’m always in search of new ways to layer without adding too much bulk. (Vests are a god send! Sometimes there are only so many layers you can fit in a jacket sleeve, you know?) Draping a sweater over my shoulders has been a go-to lately. And over the last few weeks, Iโ€™ve been into the whole tying-a-shirt-around-your-waist thing. Takes you back to middle school, huh? I remember tying sweatshirts around my waist when Iโ€™d get too hot in gym class. What goes around comes around, I suppose.

I like how the extra shirt adds another pop of print (gotta love plaid on plaid!) and defines the waist a little bit, too. It adds interest without adding any bulk at all! This outfit is perfect for a fall brunch with the girls and if you swap the heels for a pair of sneakers or your go-to booties, you’ve got yourself a great game-day outfit.

Plaid has always been one of my favorite fall prints. A little bit borrowed-from-the-boys and a little bit lumberjack makes for the perfect print to pair with your most feminine pieces. Juxtaposition at it’s finest! ย  Plaid can festively takeย you on just about any autumn adventure you have planned… Apple picking, a trip to the mountains, the pumpkin patch, or even a football game. Where are you wearing your plaid this fall?

    Haha! I’m someone who likes to layer a lot too. I’m sure people have wondered how many jackets I was wearing. Love this look, by the way. I live in Texas so layering is looked down upon right now since we’re still experiencing 90 degree weather. But I feel like a shirt tied around the waist is the perfect touch without being too much or overwhelming. Just absolutely love!
