More from my new plaid collections of shirts. This is the only Buffalo Check I have, but it’s in the classic red with charcoal grey. This shirt is in tunic length from Walmart (another pattern seen here) and half tucked into my jean leggings from GAP, 1969 collection (seen here and here, similar here). The coat has become a staple for me (Target C9, last year, also seen here ) The blanket scarf was what I found after Land’s End ran out of the Stewart Plaid last winter (also seen here), but I actually like this one better and if you need this in your wardrobe, head to Bluebirds and Sunshine at the Galleria Mall. I just saw it there in a darker hue. The Boots? …now the boots are brand new. I have been on the hunt for riding boots that are tall like my Hunter boots (16 1/2 “). In my experience here in Buffalo, the best place to buy boots is Lord and Taylor. Not always the least expensive, but not run of the mill and you will love them for years. This pair is awesome! Black with bronze back panels and metallic heel embellishment give something unexpected to these riding boots. Made by Sam Edelman, his Circus line, online at 6pm for $62.00. Bag is Nine West, TJ Maxx (also seen here); Sunnies are from Tuesday Morning; Belt, old; Watch, Target (also seen here); necklace, gift (also seen here)

Wide legged denim is coming back. I saw this pic of Olivia Palermo and found inspiration.

While I don’t own any actual bell bottoms, I’ve got lots of wide legged/boot cuts that really resemble a bell bottom. These are a pair that have never left my closet (also seen here with the same faux suede boots). They are more of trouser pant. They are GAP and of course they are really old — About 10 years. The sleeveless sweater wrap is also old (also seen here), TJ Maxx. T was in preschool, so 4 years ago at least. Short sleeved T-neck is Target this past fall (also seen here). If they have them again in 2015, I recommend getting one or 2. The neck is snug but not too tight and oooohhh so soft. The coat is Nine West (also seen here). The clutch was a find! I found it in a Savers store for $4.00. It’s fabric quilted Navy (I’ve already explained my current obsession with Navy in my last outfit post) and it has a long chain strap, so I can wear it cross-body, or double it up and make it a shoulder strap. But mostly I use it as a large clutch. I’m finding a lot of bags that I am making into clutches. I should do a post on that. 🙂 And I just did a major watch buy at Target. They were $10 a piece. I couldn’t resist. Military style accessories are in this Spring. It’s a men’s watch so I had to make some modifications so it would fit. Nothing a pair of scissors and super glue can’t handle.

So this is spring? I’m sure many of my friends are dressing in adorable spring clothes. We in the northeast are still battling the chill (understatement). So today, a simple outfit. My standby combo of camo and stripes. Gap skinnies (seen here and here) are as neutral as blue jeans. My shirt is J.Crew (seen here) and the waffle knit wrap is an old target purchase that I haven’t worn in a while, but I saw this blogger wearing one similar and it inspired me to dig it out. Boots are Arturo Chang (seen here and here). Knit hat is the navy version of this one. I’m adding a little Navy to everything lately. Just love it! Coat is Nine West — Bought it at Tuesday Morning, of all places, or something like $25.00 2 years ago. My old olive coat was on it’s last legs when I ran across it. Fur collar is removable. These new sunglasses are quickly becoming a staple! And red lips… what do you think?
