The Plaid Shirt I've Been Living In

Plaid Top: Gap (same shirt, different colors) || Jeans: Loft || Booties: Vince Camuto (on sale!) || Apple Watch

First of all, I have to thank y'all from the bottom of my heart for your overwhelmingly positive response to yesterday's post! Opening your heart and discussing your insecurities can be a scary, scary thing, but it leads to such great conversations & my love-tank is so full by your support! I will definitely continue to open up more and share my heart this year- so get ready :)

Plaid and Pearls

 

There's nothing better for the holiday season than festive plaid! I loved this pattern from  J. Crew Factory so much I couldn't resist getting it in both this popover and the matching skirt (which I will be styling next week)! I styled this shirt super-casually here, in a look perfect for running errands or a quick lunch, but it could easily be dressed up with a festive metallic skirt and party ready in a jiffy! Don't you love versatile pieces?!

Prepping for Fall

Fall fashion Gentry… for real?! I know, I know… it's a hundred degrees outside and I'm chatting about  fall! But fall fashions have started to hit stores, and now I'm DYING for the leaves to change and the temps to drop. Since I can't wear any of these pieces now (#thanksFlorida) I can at least get my closet ready (and you can too!) This is my go-to look for fall & winter (since they are one and the same in FL). Have you started prepping for the next season for yet?

Plaid Attitude

This season it seems like plaid is everywhere (especially on the ever-prevalent blanket scarf that has taken over instagram)! Well I love to put a twist on things, so when I saw this tunic I was all too excited to say "yes yes yes" to adding it to my closet! Although this is a classic plaid pattern, the playful ruffle collar and tunic length make this perfect for the office or a fun afternoon. And funny story… I wore this outfit to my Junior League Board of Directors Christmas party and my President showed up wearing the same thing! (#greatminds #twinning)

Ruffled Plaid

Let's take a quick second to talk about things that I love: 1) plaid 2) ruffles- put them together in one shirt and you can't pry it off me! Today's outfit isn't too complicated, just my favorite ruffled plaid and my go-to J. Crew skirt, but there's something about its simplicity that I just adore! This is the perfect outfit after a weekend of fun when you need something easy for Monday. Nothing's better for tackling a long week than an outfit that makes you feel great! Hope your week goes fast and fabulous! :)

Mad for Plaid

I absolutely love versatile outfits like this! I wore this the other weekend shopping all day and than easily transitioned it to a casual girls night out- and it was perfect for both occasions! Lately I'm really loving dressing up my plaid shirts for a more sophisticated vibe, it's fun to take something casual and turn it into something more fancy! And as a bonus… it's comfy too! Best of both worlds! :)
