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?

Plaid is making an appearance this season in the form of long button downs, dresses, and skirts. I realize that the Urban Outfitters shirt on the left might look a little nicer than my plaid shirt from Guess, two seasons old, but it costs close to $60. So, I put together a little lumberjack/state trooper outfit adding my own pieces such as my Ray Ban aviators and wine colored boots from Nordstroms, which have proven to be one of the best purchases I have ever made as they reappear in my outfits time after time. Also, I rarely stand like that. I don't know what I am doing.
