Back when I was a student in Catholic school, wearing my plaid skirts and green cardigans every.single.day, I'm pretty sure I swore I'd never wear plaid again.
This fall, plaid is a popular trend, and I've had to change my mind, because it's so much fun to wear. My shirt is a perfect transition piece - it combines plaid with a lightweight rayon fabric that's cool and comfy.
I paired it with this bracelet from House of Harlow. Ever since I lost my watch, I've been wearing more bracelets. I like this one because it fits tight on my wrist.
If you're not sure about the trend, or want to avoid looking like a lumberjack, try a plaid accessory. I think I need these Tom's for my collection.
This scarf from Old Navy would be a pretty addition to any outfit.
Give plaid a chance this fall. I promise you won't look like a Catholic school girl - or a lumberjack!
If you have the time, come check out my new Instagram page. I'm on day four of 100 Days of Happy, which I'm pairing with my gratitude journal. 96 days to go!

I haven't seen the plaid done with white jeans before. It is wonderfully fresh.

Thanks Suzanne. I'm trying to get a little more use out of my white jeans before I put them away until the spring!
DeleteI love the look of this outfit, Lana! The red purse adds a lot of pop - and the cut, as well as the plaid of the shirt is really fun!
ReplyDeleteI had a little trouble for a second, focusing on your outfit though - because I am having bookcase envy! Your bookcases are gorgeous.
Have a wonderful day!
I love my bookcases too. We had them built in shortly after we bought our house. Thanks for noticing them :)!
DeleteAHHHHH, that bracelet and those Toms', brilliant. I need to add those to my wishlist. Great finds, friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I really need to find those Toms.
DeleteLove the plaid! I'm not one to pay attention to fashion so I enjoy coming over here and seeing what you recommend! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to help! My style is pretty casual - perfect for us moms!
DeleteAs far as I'm concerned, plaid should always be a trend! Sometimes I'm still stuck in the 90's.
ReplyDeleteYou look great. Totally fashionable and not grungy AT ALL.
Thank you - I'm learning to like plaid again.
DeleteLove everything plaid for fall! You look great in your plaid top and white jeans! Those Tom's in your picks are super cute!

I really want those Toms. Trying to wear the white jeans before I put them away for winter.
DeleteBetween bloggers saying they avoid navy because of a uniform experience and plaid for the same reason, I'm awfully glad I went to public school! I love plaid in the fall!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Private school has ruined fashion for so many of us...
DeleteCute plaid ensemble.
ReplyDeleteWatch The Mindy Project for an addition to your 100daysofhappy. Hopefully it will make you laugh like it made me laugh.
Thank you! I agree, The Mindy Project is very funny!
DeleteLove the plaid. I saw an amazing jacket in plaid the other daY and I've been kicking myself in the butt for not getting it!
ReplyDeleteOoh, a plaid jacket would be fun! You should go back and get it...
DeleteI like your idea of a plaid accessory - those shoes are super cute! Maybe I'll like this trend after all...my son goes to Catholic school now, but luckily the boys are told to wear khaki pants with shirts and ties - no plaid for them.:)
ReplyDeleteI've noticed the kids here aren't wearing plaid either - they finally decided we had been tortured enough :)!
DeletePlaid is a timeless element of Fall - and you nailed it all cool & crisp in this look Lana!

I am in love with that plaid shirt. Perfect for the cold months, especially in those darker colors. Gorgeous bracelet, also. =)
ReplyDeleteGreat look with white jeans! Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday, you look fresh and fab. xo
ReplyDeleteI thought it was fun with the white jeans. Thanks for hosting the link up!
DeleteSeasonally adorable! Perfect for the transition between summer and fall, and I love your Toms! The white jeans just keep it new and fresh looking. Nothing of the lunberjack at all, and the bracelet is so fun with it all. Yes, please.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Toms are my favorite shoe - and the plaid ones are adorable!
