Wild about Plaid

Oh Gosh! Leave it to me to almost forget to get my post up today. Sorry friends! I didn't even get a chance to get dressed till about 4, so maybe technically it's still early. haha. That's just how I roll these days. I haven't figured out this whole being a new mom thing quite yet. Anyway, I was super excited when I got Annie's dress in the mail last week. I couldn't wait to wear it. I totally went down the school girl road. It was too tempting not too. I love that everything in this outfit is either swapped or thrifted. Dear Annie: I may not being giving this pretty plaid dress back. Love: Jen.






Vintage Dress: Delightful Dozen via Time Enough for Drums
J.Crew Sweater: Swapped
Dooney & Bourke Purse: Beacons Closet
Vintage Brooches: My Grandma
Oxfords: Bass (thrifted)


Everyone else jumps around when they are cold right? haha. Come on spring temperatures I am anxiously awaiting your arrival.


Check out how the other DD ladies (Veronika, James and Mel) have styled this little plaid number...

Loving that dress, I think I would put a gray sweater over it too.
Great Dooney bag too, very classic it goes great with the dress.

You look so cute! I love the plaid with the sweater; it does a really nice job of breaking the pattern up a bit. And your brooches are lovely!
