Tough Tartan

September 19, 2011

 
Here is my version of the following trend for fall fashion:

Tartan Plaid 

 






{Tartan Plaid Blazer ~ Thrifted / Vintage Green Crepe Skirt ~ Thrited / Black T-Shirt ~ Merona via Target / Black Pull-on Booties ~ Forever 21 / Black Leather and Gold Handbag ~ Daisy Boutique / Gold Lions head Necklace ~ Vintage / Thrifted / Gold and Black Watch ~ KVZ / Cyrstal Bangle ~ KJL}

There is something about a pleated skirt that reads 'school girl' to me so I decided to toughen this outfit up a bit with leather! 

This vintage crepe skirt is a really interesting piece; I had two people ask me today what it was made out of.  And the best thing? It does NOT wrinkle. Even after sitting at my desk for a few hours, no wrinkles. I love it!  I can't wait to rock this with a denim shirt and tights soon. Do you do that? Plan your next outfit when you discover a piece that you love? That is my goal when buying things.  I have to imagine it working with a few items in my closet. Or else, what's the use in getting it?

I thrifted this blazer last year and when I saw that tartan plaid was on trend this season, I couldn't wait to pull it out.  It also helps that it's been beautifully crisp these last few days, which makes it so much easier to grab those forgotten blazers and jackets. I honestly cannot imagine buying a blazer anywhere other than the thrift store.  :)

Ok, so. Tartan plaid for you this season? Yay or nay?


xoxo, thanks for reading!

  18. This is the cutest. outfit. ever. That skirt is amazing! I've managed to snag some adorable things in local thrift stores, but I've never managed to find any skirts. It's tragic! I long for the day when I stumbled upon something like this wonderful green skirt.

    I absolutely love plaid. It always reads "adorable school girl" to me. Can't wait to break out my plaid skirt and pair it with a cardigan once the weather cools off a bit more.

  39. That outfit is perfection.
    Its the perfect cross between structured and flowy.
    I would normally shy away from the darker plaids, but it just goes to show that you don't have to reject pieces if you know how to style them.
