What Would Winter Be Without Plaid?

Hello everyone, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

It's hard to imagine winter without plaid

There is so very much to choose from!

 From brightly colored to subdued patterns, large to small,

 on any garment you can imagine

There is the classic plaid shirt of course, and so much more

Plaid variations are on jackets, pants, skirts, coats, scarves-

you name it and it's been plaid-ed!

Wool and flannel plaid patterns remain cold weather favorites year after year

This week I am shopping my closet and styling a couple of very different plaid skirts

First, a wool windowpane plaid knee length skirt in bright teal, 

 with black, white and grey in the pattern

Worn with a white button up under a black "V" neck pullover

for a classic look

I gave this outfit a bit of a 60's mod twist with a silver metallic buckle detail handle bag

and grey herringbone pattern tights

For jewelry, I picked out a few streamlined pieces  

Turquoise triangular stud earrings with a hammered silver tone collar necklace,

and modern design orb hinged bracelet

Black low wedge heel tassel loafers to finish the look

Another plaid skirt I shopped my closet for to make this outfit

This one is a very full midi length, with the plaid cut on the bias

The colors are neutral in black, grey and ivory

Worn with an ivory cropped crew neck pullover

in a fancy crochet knit  

A few pops of color in my jewelry:

Red heart hand crafted earrings, mixed metal chain necklace

the peace ☮️ symbol red leather wrap bracelet

Carrying an ivory satchel bag

Boots seemed to suit the outfit,

so I pulled out these low heel equestrian style knee high pair

that haven't been shown much love this season

Flashback to an outfit with a pair of

herringbone plaid ankle cropped trousers from winter 2019

I'll have to find a nice way to style this little 70's vintage blue plaid fabric bag

It's so cute, and doesn't get off the shelf often enough

Hope everyone enjoys their week!
