Happy Saturday!
I have been quite the trend lover lately and the trend I am obsessed with is plaid. Yes, I've taken a short break from leopard and have now moved on to plaid.
As with almost every outfit of mine, there is a story behind how I found a certain piece. In this look both pieces have a little story. Don't worry, I'll be brief. The plaid skirt is from Simply Be and when I first saw it, I absolutely loved it. However, I was hesitant to buy it because I wasn't sold on the plaid trend at the time. So one day while checking out some of my fellow bloggers, I spied the skirt on Kellie B. from And I Get Dressed. The skirt looked so cute on her that it made me want to buy it.
I was trying to think of how I could wear it. I initially had plans on a black peplum top but one day last weekend, while riding the train and thinking about the skirt (yes, I randomly put outfits together in my head on my train rides home) I had a vision of wearing the skirt with a sweatshirt.
I remembered seeing this sweatshirt plaid sleeved sweatshirt in Forever21 and I thought it would be a great match up with the skirt. So, while on a lunch break, I headed over to F21 in TImes Square to see if they had the sweatshirt and yup, they did. I got home, tried both pieces on, and liked the result of both of them together.
I added my favorite gold link necklace from ASOS Curve, a gold cuff, and a black faux leather clutch from Aldo's
Gold hoops and black suede pumps pulled the look together. This look is definitely a little different for me but I think it still embodies class, sophistication, and a little edginess.
What do you guys think of my latest ensemble? Are you into the plaid trend?
