Royal Purple

Hello, dearies! The storm has passed and now the calm has washed over us. It's
nice to sit back and relax after those crazy jam-packed weeks of excitement, eh?
I'm definitely going to take a few days to myself before getting my game on for the
new year. It's time to tackle those need-to-do things!  Maybe it was turning 25, but
I feel as if I've come to that point in my life where I can't just be dinking around all
the time - not that I was much of a dinker to begin with!  Or it may have something to
do with the whole new year's resolutions thing. Either way, I have a renewed sense
of diligence.  There is one thing that will stay stagnant though: my fixation with plaid!

And since I tend to wear plaid quite often, I thought I would try something different
(only slightly different, nothing to get excited over). Usually when I wear plaid I go
for a more relaxed, laid-back feel, but I've seen ensembles where plaid is paired
with fancier pieces, like this silk top. I can't wait to pair a warm flannel-ish plaid
shirt with the white ballerina-ish skirt I wore in my last post; quite the contrast.
Outfit:
The Bay // Cardigan
Thifted // Beret 
Le Chateau // Silk Top
Thrifted // Belt
Jacob // Plaid Skirt
Thrifted // Boots

  2. I definitely love the combination! It's funny how two very different things can just, go together.

    Good luck with your to-do list!

  3. I love the touch of plaid! Your hair is perfect. I have been wanting to go blond for a while now but I am afraid to take the leap!

  4. You look so lovely :) I like the background of the white snow and the black gate. Anything plaid is a win in my book so I'd say you should definitely keep wearing it.

  7. The great thing about plaid is that you can dress it up or down--and you did a beautiful job with this casual outfit here. I really like the beret topping off the entire ensemble!

  8. oh man.. i read that as "drinking around" at first and was going to say ya... alcohol really affects me in my age (27) when it never used to so i dont drink anymore but now that has nothing to do w/ the topic haha. dinking around, yes, that's a good because goals and focus are always good and time flies by. anyway, you look gorgeous in this plaid, i like that color top and the contrast. i forget about purples like that.
