Preppy in Plaid


Happy 1st day of February!  The shortest month of the year and only one short month away from Spring!  I know many mid-westerners are excited about that.  For me, I will relish these last few days of rain and cold.  :)

I bought these plaid jeans after Christmas when Gap was having a huge sale and I immediately scooped them up because I had been wanting a pair like this for some time.  I saw some on Zara's website in the fall, but then never saw them again.  Maybe they sold out super quick.  So I was glad to score these.  And they are the perfect length!  Yess!!

Plaid to me can either go rocker grunge, or completely preppy and I decided to do the latter.  It was a cool day that just called for my striped wool sweater and I kicked up the preppy vibe by layering it over a silk button down blouse.  I love the way it all turned out.  What do you think?

another great result with pattern-mixing! you pull off those plaid pants very well and although you went preppy, I think you could an equally awesome look in rocker style! :)

This preppy look is awesome, I really like the plaid pants! And so pretty with the stripe sweater layered over the collared shirt. You are so fearless when it comes to wearing statement items :)

This is a fabulous preppy look - I love the striped sweater with the plaid pants. Plaid pants have been on my list for awhile now, maybe I should take the plunge. Hope you had a nice weekend.
