Well, I spent
last weekend in South Dakota. Other than an airport disaster (it's a long story that I'm guessing no one wants to hear), it was lovely. I got to meet a lot of great people who work in my field and I walked away with a lot of great ideas. The weather was also lovely. Between 50-60 degrees the entire time. Not what I expected, but wonderful nonetheless. I thought it would be a good time to try out an outfit similar to one that I pinned way long ago.
I pinned the below image, and while I couldn't incorporate the model-y hand-on-head pose, I was pleased to remember that I had this puffy vest that hadn't seen a lot of light for a few years. Bam - outfit!
How often do you try to replicate outfits that you pin?
Vest: Old Navy (
similar with a removable collar!)
pinterest is always a great inspiration & you pulled it off flawlessly!!

I like it. Great way to wear plaid. I'm a huge plaid fan, although I really don't have any.

I love this! Plaid is awesome and so is replicating a pin now and then. So cute! :)
ReplyDeleteI like this one a lot.
ReplyDeleteI actually like it on you better! Love that cream colored vest :)

Very GQ, even without the model hand-in-hair pose. :)
ReplyDelete(Except, I thought GQ usually had girls not as clothed? In which case, never mind! You are wonderfully and sufficiently clothed.)
Haha, I wondered the exact same thing about that picture! Why does it say "GQ" on it?? I'm afraid to look at a GQ magazine because I think you're right - the models are only half dressed!
Deletecute! i really like the plaid + vest! i recreate pinned outfits allll the time...
ReplyDeleteSuper cute outfit!!! LOVE those boots, too, girl! You look great :)

Love your version and the pin! Your vest is so cute - love the little details by the buttons! I wish I would have saved some of my vests from years ago!

I know - I never would have thought that I would be glad that I saved my vest!
Deletecute outfit! love the shirt
ReplyDeleteLove it! The plaid looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI keep telling you to add more Outfit posts. Maybe make them bi-weekly or better yet, three times a week, since being busy is hard to commit to them daily. I love your easy, effortless but beautiful style. That plaid button-down and light puffy Dove Gray vest are perfection, together =)
ReplyDeleteP.S. By the way, last Sunday, your outfit was among others features on my new Sunday Feature titled "Week's Best Looks". Did you check it out?

I did see it, Ada! I left you a comment - such a fun idea!
DeleteI'm not sure if I'll ever move to more outfit posts... there are so many other things I want to blog about so we'll see!
What a fun Fall look. I haven't worn plaid yet this season, but want to start.
ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect fall outfit! I've been planning on rocking a vest with plaid too, just haven't gotten around to it yet...definitely need to after seeing your awesome pairing though!
