The star of this outfit is the buffalo plaid jacket, without question.  It is a Thrift Store find.  I bought it for $12.99, a complete steal.  I love it and have worn it often this winter and now into the spring.  This day I wore it over a monochromatic combo of black and charcoal grey.  The faux leather leggings are from Target.   I wasn’t sure about them at first, but under a long tunic top — I they look great!  The sweater vest is sooo old.  A TJ Maxx find from long ago (also seen here) and the boots were my fave footwear purchase of last year (seen here and here) inspired by the one and only OP.  Hat and gloves are from my local supermarket–believe it or not.   Happy Friday!


Going Green!

This is what I wore on March 17th.  You’ve to go green, Irish or not, right? I searched my closet and tried on multiple options but in the end this outfit was the victor!  I was volunteering at the school for Kindergarten Registration and you know what they say about 1st impressions, so I turned it up a notch.  Plus it was a slightly warmer day so a skirt seemed like a good idea considering it has been much, much to cold to wear anything but pants in the last 2 months!

I love this look because really, it doesn’t have to be just a St. Patty’s look.  Black top, black tights and a colored skirt looks so simply sharp to me.  Let’s start with the skirt, It’s a summer knit skirt and I usually wear it with a ribbed tank top and flip flops so it’s nice to see it finding a place in my winter wardrobe.  It is old — 3 years, maybe.  Marshall’s, of course.  The black turtleneck from Target (this past fall) is amazingly soft and I like that the sleeves aren’t quite short, makes it less casual. My denim jacket (also seen here) is ancient– 15 years old, at least.  It’s H&M and I remember when I bought it — Syracuse working my first publishing job. I have tried to replace it and made a valiant effort last year but to no avail.  None of the ones I found were right.  Mostly too long.  I like this one because it’s short, but not cropped.  I think a lighter washed one is in my future.  Stay tuned. Black tights, my Chinese Laundry over the knee suede boots (seen here and here and everywhere!) balance the look.  My ASOS blanket scarf (seen here, here and here)is the finishing touch because of the holiday and it is a bit chilly, so an extra layer never hurts.

Accessories!  Check out my new shades from Target. I love the thick bold tortoise shell frame.  I’d bet they’ll be my go to this spring. My that girl (click here to read my That Girl story) earrings look kind of Gaelic, don’t they?  Bag is Steve Madden and I bought it to imitate a Coach bag that I had to have but could never find. Belt is a  skinny patent from Target.

DSC03471DSC03462DSC03468DSC03460DSC03463St Patrick’s Day Parade!  So many great memories of going when I was in my 20’s (for obvious reasons) and when the weather is agreeable, we’ve taken the kids.

This sweater is one from the great sweater buy at Marshall’s of 2015 (other sweaters are here, here and here).   I love the navy and green combo and have worn it many times since I bought it.  Plaid seemed appropriate for the day’s festivities so I’m once again wearing my fav blanket scarf from ASOS (also seen here).  Jeans are Leggings from GAP  (seen here and here).  The jacket is NEW!  I found it on clearance at Target last week.  Love it!  It’s fleece with nylon quilting.  Of course, now I can’t find it on their website, but it was $22 (similar here).  A “cannot pass up this deal” purchase (even hubby agreed with me on this one).  Boots are Hunter Original Tall in Green.  If you are thinking of getting a pair — now is the time.   When all this snow melts it is going to be one sloppy baseball/softball season!  The knit hat is cable knit, black with silver threads and who can resist a pom-pom on top?  I bought it at our local supermarket (go figure) in their seasonal section — clearance of course, $5.00.  So great I bought 5 of them (different colors) and G and I share. 🙂

Gap Sale, Long Sleeved White Tee, Over the Knee Suede Boots, Plaid, Shirt Dress, Statement Coat, Studded Belt, Vince Camuto, Winter Layering

DSC03100DSC03105DSC03107DSC03097

Okay, this might be the last plaid outfit for a while.  No promises, though. 🙂

This day was filled with volunteering at the school.  Library in the morning and helping with a reading event at lunchtime.  Comfortable yet nice was the goal.  An easy shirt dress to the rescue!  This one is from that smokin’ GAP sale (the same one where I got this parka–60% off clearance price).  If you are going to get one, I recommend you go smaller than usual.  Gap runs big.  I am usually a small, sometimes a medium, and for both the parka and the dress I went with the extra small.  The dress came with a matching fabric belt, but I liked this studded belt (from my vast collection) better.  It gave the outfit just a little more interest. Layering is a must to battle this frigid weather.  This plain, white, long sleeved tee has a beefy quality (thick cuffs and collar) that brought a more casual feel to the outfit. Black tights and my ever present suede boots finish the look and for coat, I went with the Vince Camuto Boucle I bought at Marshall’s earlier this year (also seen here).

Arturo Chiang, Brown Boots, Cropped Sweater, Lace Dress, Lands' End, Oversized Menswear, Plaid, Quilted Coat, White with off White

DSC02288

When thinking about what to wear today I was inspired by one of my favorite blogs Cupcakes and Cashmere.  I just tweaked it to fit my style.  Most of these pieces have been shown before.  The oversized meanswear shirt layered over my lace dress.  But this time I added the cropped sweater (see before here) and my well loved Arturo Chiang boots that I bought at L&T 4 years ago, but I still love them (similar here in Whiskey Tye Dye).  The picture looks white but the dress and sweater are cream color.  Only the Shirt is white. So there is a little contrast.  Can you see it here?

And then there is this coat.  What a find!  I have to tell someone about it.  It’s Lands’ End Kids.. Size XL/14  Found it for $14.99 at a thrift shop (maybe I shouldn’t tell people).  But I love the quilting, the plaid lining (another fall trend)  and the weight is perfect for fall and into winter.  What do you think?

P.S. Have you seen Lands’ End’s New Catalog?  I’m in love with the Stewart plaid.
