streetstyle: plaid

it’s no mystery that plaid also known as tartan is BACK in full swing in the fashion world. I’ve been spotting it in all forms such as the 90s revival-button downs and mini dresses, wool scarves, jackets and capes. here are some fashionable plaid wearing ladies from my Streets & Style Fall/Winter Pinterest board:

me!
been wearing this jacket weekly since January.. well minus those few days of Summer we got..see full post here.
obsessing over this color for a while now and just added a super stylish trench coat in a darker shade of army green to my closet via H&M — excited to wear and share it’s contrast black sleeves here on the blog! think that makes something like 4 jackets I have in this shade and that’s just jackets..also just added a pair of pants from LOFT and have a few other articles of clothing. it’s becoming a neutral for me as it mixes well with black, grey, white..EVERYTHING. .
just wanted to get in a quick post before a busy weekend including a beer fest tonight in L5P and Scoutmob’s Halloween bash tomorrow! Dustin and I will be in costumes both nights! if you’re current location is like us here in ATL, then you’re already in full Halloween festivities swing, have a fun weekend!

STREETSTYLE: COMFORT ZONE

if you stalk street style blogs or Pinterest you’ve probably already noticed a sneakers trend which I for one am all for becoming fashionable! I’ve mentioned it before but I will say it again, I AM ALL ABOUT COMFORT! having had bunion surgery at the young age of 17 and ACL replacement surgery and a break at my tibia fibula at 19, I’ve been forced to wear whatever is most comfortable for my feet and knees. I’d love to rock some stacked platforms and delicate heels but sadly I’ve given up, luckily though I am 5’9″ so I don’t actually need the height. today I am currently wearing an H&M dress with a side slit, fun socks from UO and my SUPERGA’s, yay for fashionable comfort! here are some street snaps of several ladies putting a hip spin on plain ole sneakers-

SS:7

bundle-up-this-season-its-all-about-the-fur
welcome to the first of many SS:7’s! 
what is SS:7 you ask? simple: its 7 street style images that are inspiring to my taste or as coincidence has it have similar characteristics in my wardrobe. don’t get me wrong, I love perusing sites like Vogue that showcase designer, runway and couture looks but this just isn’t as practical to my closet as it “live” on the street. even seeing models and bloggers wearing high ticket priced items seems more real to me then seeing it in editorial shots which is why I gravitate towards photos of outfits styled and being worn on the daily.

(none of these photos are taken by me, used for blog purposes only & found on Pinterest!)

many things in these 7 photos are currently circulating my wardrobe, ie the CAPE. a girl friend of mine-that shares my same name-gave me a cape jacket recently and I’ve already put it to good use. (outfit pictures to follow!)
next is the tomboy look, which lots of ladies are gravitating towards these days. I particularly like this look because it allows me to do my usual casual thing and still remain chic. large scarfs, ankle boots and fur collars have all been staples in my winter wear. having become better than ever at layering I’m looking forward to shedding the heavy layers and experimenting with layering in the Spring.
truth be told I’ve tried a few times since the “birth” of my blog to offer a reoccurring themed post and this time I’m going to do it, I can feel it! especially since I’m already crazily pinning and saving street style images….may as well put a habit to use!

enjoy your weekend and don’t forget to revisit come Tuesday for my cape debut!

as always street style is always my favorite part about New York fashion week and this round didn’t disappoint even though attendees had to deal with a BLIZZARD they still sported fabulous threads on the streets in between shows. I scoured through sites such as Harpers Bazaar, Elle, Calivintage, Free People, Vogue and Refinery 29 and collected my favorites from last week.

my favorite trend: the FUR! being the cold natured lady I am, I would have totally been wrapped up from head to toe! even though the fashionistas had to layer in warm garments they still added bold and bright colors like Hanneli’s neon green jacket. if I end up making it to a fashion week I’ll have to be sure to go when I won’t freeze my bum off!
happy hump day!
