Styling a plaid look
Last week of the Style Perspectives was my favourite week of all weeks. I may be biased because it was my prompt, but whatevs.
Now moving on to our plaid look.
You see, the problem with me being on the ball in March and taking the pictures for the prompts ahead of time is now I have to look at pictures with the remnants of snow. Yuck. For the record the cursed snow has left, although it did try earlier this week to make an apparition, but I gave it the evil eye and so it left. Or something like that.
So a plaid look today. I had a mild panic attack because apparently all my plaid is winter plaid and I had put it all away. Then I remembered this top that I was slightly obsessed with last year, stemmed from seeing a Rails plaid shirt on Possessionista, but I didn't want to spend 80 billion on a top, so I found one on Simons for 20$. Win, win. The outfit was perfect for a day of adventuring on the acreage and I felt neither schlubby nor too dressed up. I even ventured into town and felt like a farm girl, but I loved it.

This is a chic Deena farm girl look for sure. Love how you styled your hair with this look as well.
ReplyDeleteAww look at your pigtail braids, you look sweet as pie!! I love that this top is short sleeved and such a cute plaid! I want some olive Hunters, so versatile. And I just took another look at these pictures, um, you look like you are 25!!!! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute and chic farm girl look! Love the short sleeved plaid and your braids!

Cute-E-Pie! Sassy, farm girl meets plaid. This look beckons a romp in the hay. Darling.
ReplyDeleteyou are adorable. I love this look. I'm so badly want a pair of Hunters but they won't fit :( Your braids are the perfect touch to your plaid. It really is a cute spring look. Have I ever told you I love your nerd goggles? cause I do.
ReplyDeletepretty in plaid!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like we will both be shopping for spring plaid since I had the same problem.... Also interesting we are both sporting Hunter's in our photos this week.
ReplyDeleteLove this look!!

Oooh, love this top. Does it zip up? This whole look is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love that it's an unconventional short sleeved plaid! Cute!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute with your braids! I had the same issue a few weeks ago with leftover snow, but luckily was able to crop it out of photos. When seasons change it is hard to try and work ahead! Love the short sleeve aspect of the blouse! It makes it wearable year round!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute look, but I must say that those braids are my absolute favorite part of the look! I want to braid my hair now! It looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI really like the plaid shirt! I love the colors! Great look & hair!

Aren't you cute! I was with you on plaid - all of mine is flannel/winter/fall. I like your cap sleeve spring plaid.

ReplyDeleteOhh! Short-sleeved plaid?! I feel like you don't see that very often. You look super cute with your outdoors gear and your pigtails!
ReplyDeleteOMG how cute are you!! And love that this is cap sleeve!! Love the hunters too!! Great look Deena...I need to wear my gray jeans
ReplyDeleteCould you be any cuter? Plaid, pigtails and Hunters. Adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely plaid shirt on you! I like the colour combo with the khaki green jacket too :)

Oh short sleeved plaid, super cute, and you did your hair! :) Hunters are so adorable...but I would definitely get the side eye if I wore them here! haha.
ReplyDeleteThat short sleeve is super cute!! Don't you love your hunters for our Canadian weather--- I wear mine even in the winter!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your Hunter boots! They have been on my wish list forever. Super cute look!

This is such a great look and those Hunters are the perfect color! I have a pair of red ones and I think they would have looked good with this outfit, too!!

Deena, you found the perfect plaid for the season!! Like you, I've packed away my fall/winter wardrobe... always fun to remember clothing items we've forgotten about and wear them again, isn't it!?

ReplyDeleteI need to do the braids more often!
ReplyDeleteI WANT TO HUG YOU!!!!!!!!!! 25 was my favourite age.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any rose bushes to hide in, so hay bails it will have to be.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteYou have appeared to have solved said problem already ;)
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteMy hunters aren't comfortable because of my thickass calves, so I kinda hear ya. And thanks for the goggle love...I get made fun of on the daily by the husband.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when the 4 seasons are so drastic and temperamental. Ugh. Like me, I guess :)
ReplyDeleteThanks- that was my favourite part
ReplyDeletebuttons all the way (which I dislike because boobgap)
ReplyDeleteAnd the shirt is super cozy too. So win win.
ReplyDeletelol. You need to come out for a visit.
ReplyDeleteI need to find more less heavy plaid!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteDO it, queen of plaid!
ReplyDeleteI agree, nice and light!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteLol. But super sassy and sarcastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
ReplyDeleteThey get worn WAY too often with our crazyass weather! Perfect for those almost summer snow storms.
ReplyDeleteMe too- with the warm fuzzy socks that fold over!
ReplyDeleteI thought of you whilst I braided. Why oh why would you get side eye? What if you were wearing Hunters AND eating Ketchup chips....
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. It's like finding treasure.
ReplyDeleteI agree! i have had my eyes on a pair of coloured Hunters
ReplyDeleteIs there a way for me to see the prompts? While I'm not a huge fan of fashion posts (I don't do well with full body selfies - I always look awkward), I'd love to join from time to time.
ReplyDeleteYay- voila and I hear you on the full body thing....I felt so weird at the beginning but then, in a weird way...it helped me become more confidant.
ReplyDeleteI love your farm girl look, especially the cute piggy braids. Good ridence snow and hello sunshine, patios, BBQ's and cute summer clothes.
ReplyDeleteLoving your farm girl-esque look. Also, will we be able to visit one of these magical Simons next year?
ReplyDeleteYEs, yes we will.
ReplyDeleteAMEN
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!
