Black & Plaid

Fashion is funny.  I'm not exactly sure how it came to be, but before Fall, plaid was for camping and grade 9 and after Fall, it's for runways and fashionistas worldwide.  Plaid is everywhere!  Tartan, buffalo, gingham - any which colour, any which piece.  Therefore, it should come as no surprise that plaid made the Monday Style Prompt lineup.  In my highly technical research (Pinterest), I determined the easiest and chicest way to wear plaid is to simply style it with black, hence today's prompt was all black with a pop of plaid and here's how I wore it:

Vintage Limited Edition London Fog skirt $7, Clarks booties $13 and Cole Haan bag $8 VV Boutique

Scarf and cardi B.T. (Before Thrifting)

Though I bought this skirt in the summer, I knew it would be perfect for chilly weather.

Love the pleats!

I *might* have had some Pinspiration for my outfit...

 

Just add 10 inches, 20 years and 30 pounds and we're samsies.

Model, why would you need gloves but not a coat?  See, fashion is funny.

(Unless we are back in grade 9, pretending we're warm enough.)

In the process of planning my outfit, I discovered a hole in my wardrobe.  (Hard to believe.)  I don't have a plain black sweater, so I turned my cardi into a sweater.

I guess this means I don't really *need* a black sweater.

(Unless I find a good one at VV!)

These Monday Style Prompts do make me want to wear them all week long so stay tuned to Instagram to see how the rest of the week's #ootd pan out. 

Just me, my black and my plaid - easy dressing Monday morning!
