Plaid shirt dress

There is one outfit that always looks good and is always comfortable: leggings with anything! But not with shirts that do not cover your bum, because I am not a fan of legging pants unless, of course, they are leather.

What led me to this post was when I started pondering about the next couple of weeks. Thanksgiving is coming up, then Christmas, I am taking several trips out of town and, I thought, what would be the perfect travel/holiday outfit? I quickly realized that I needed more shirt dresses and when I popped into H&M tonight I found this plaid shirt dress for $15!!!

I am excited to try it out with different layering tricks. Obviously a cardigan would look nice, but I was also thinking of wearing a turtle neck underneath. What do you think?

Buffalo girl

I certainly look like someone from the west with my buffalo plaid and boots. I assure you I am not. I am much more prone to suburban/city life, but every once in a while I have to jump out of character. I got this dress on sale at Urban Outfitters. I wore it during the summer alone with sandals and a cardigan, but I knew I couldn't let the love affair end just yet. So I am bringing it with me into fall but with leggings and a blouse. I also put on my vintage pearl necklace that I found at a shop in Columbus. What do you think?
