I have collected a few plaid/ checked shirts over the past year.
I really love the way they are preppy, but can also be great layering pieces.
Just be careful, alone a checked shirt can look a little too cowgirl or too grunge. My faded, baggy mom jeans and sensible black shoes aren’t helping much either!
On the left I have replaced my red plaid shirt with a cute blue and white one. I then switched the mom jeans for these dark skinny ones. I then decided to throw on my fur vest- loving the contrast of the preppy shirt with the rocker vest. To finish it off, I chose my light brown boots from Target.
It’s cute, funky and fun!
Enjoy your day!
Shirt: Land’s End, Vest: Marshalls, Jeans: Anthropologie, Boots: Target
Again, I have skipped jewelry… probably should add a bracelet or a little dainty necklace… something small and understated.
Love this! The “before” pic is exactly how I would have worn it, and been unhappy with the look! I really like what you did with it. Thanks!
Thanks! Another tip is to be sure to get a shirt that is fitted!
I love your before & afters! Always so inspiring & it just goes to show what a better fit can do for a look!:)
