Today's Everyday Fashion: Plaid Layers

Inspiration: People


Celebrity airport outfits are my favorite. They tend to be comfy, cozy and easy to re-create! This is my fourth outfit with this plaid shirt, but I was digging the inspiration to wear it unbuttoned for the first time. Would you layer a plaid shirt this way?

Coat: Via c/o MJR Sales, $55 (similar, similar)
Plaid shirt: Old Navy, $17
T-shirt: Gap, old (similar)
Jeans: Gap, old (similar)
Boots: HCB Boutique c/o (similar, similar)
Purse: Karen Millen, gift (similar)

  2. I like the idea of keeping the shirt unbuttoned for more of a casual feel.  It's so hard for me to wear my shirts unbuttoned though!  Love your GAP jeans too. They always have great jeans.  Heather

  4. I agree-airport outfits are the best! I think I like yours even better though! I have a shirt and jacket just like these so I'll have to give it a go, considering I feel like I never take my coat off in the winter time. Also, really love those little booties!

  8. This outfit makes me want to listen to Nirvana! I love it! Unbuttoned plaid always brings out my inner 'grunge' 90's child heart!

    Blessings!

  14. I would try and pair this look with cobalt skinnies. It almost looks like Emma is wearing them in the pic!

  15. I prefer the unbuttoned look. I love to layer tops, so this is the option for me. Also, I haven't found a plaid that I like enough to actually buy. I think I spend too much time dwelling on all of the individual colors in them. I see alot of plaids that I like on others (like yours J), but haven't found the perfect one for me yet. The search continues.

  16. The perfect winter outfit for us northerners! Love how it's comfy enough for the airport, but still fashionable.

  17. I recently came across your blog, and I love it.  I love clothes, but sometimes feel that I am fashionably challenged...I feel that your ideas are easy to recreate with stuff I already have.  :)  Love today's look!

  18. Actually unbuttoned is how I wore plaid shirts all of my life - until few years ago, b/c by then I had couple of flannel plaid shirts (one pattern and colors really similar to the one you are wearing in today's outfit, the other almost the same as you blue/navy combo plaid shirt...) that were on the thick side, also on the big side, so it came naturally to wear them over different t-shirts, unbuttoned, I loved wearing them that way... As for the recent years and now - I bought several more feminine - more flattering plaid button ups (they even have ruffles alongside button line) that simply wouldn't work unbuttoned or over something... Love your outfit, it screams comfy :)

  20. I think layering plaid is so easy because it can be worn so many ways and comes in so many different colors! I sometimes like to throw low v-neck sweater over when it's super cold out, and other times I leave it unbuttoned with a cool shirt under. I love looking at Emma Stone for inspiration because she has a bit of a tom boy style with an unexpected touch of girlyness occasionally.

  22. I love how versatile plaid shirts are! Every outfit you create with them is just perfect. I take so much inspiration from the outfits from your posts!! I personally like unbuttoned plaid shirts on other people, but they look awkward on me.

  27. With your wool (military-style) coat;  your plaid flannel shirt;  your "long-john gray," (i.e., heather gray), T-shirt;  your dark indigo-wash jeans;  and your camel-brown leather boots............ well, this outfit almost seems like it's *Lumberjack Style*, (no kidding!!)............ except that it's a very *Femme Lumberjack Style*............ (i.e., a very feminine lumberjack style)!!

    'Another really creative----and *beautifully-u.p.d.a.t.e.d.*----Traditional Style, J.!!    Thank you so much!!

  28. I usually love the look of the unexpected but not sure I like the tuxedo inspired skirt with the plaid. Something seems off to me. But I am probably one of the few 50 year olds that follows you. Maybe it's a generational thing. :)
