A red plaid Madewell shirt for February’s Project Sister Act.
Red and February go together like PB&J. While I don’t have a ton of red in my wardrobe, this Madewell shirt came to mind when Sheelah from Sheelah Writes contacted me about joining in on February’s Project Sister Act for a red-hued theme.
Sheelah started Project Sister Act to illustrate how no matter your age, you can put your own spin on the trends. Project Sister Act showcases how colors and accents can be interpreted + personalized by gathering a few bloggers in specific age ranges to participate: a blogger in her teens, one in her 20’s, one in her 30’s, Sheelah reps the 40’s, and a blogger in her 50’s. I’m the 30-something blogger for this round, and my outfit demonstrates that red doesn’t have to be super romantic or girly. (Not that there’s anything wrong with romantic/girly, just not my usual schtick.)
This red plaid Madewell shirt is an easy piece to style. I wanted to put a tough spin on things, so I grabbed a pair of high-waisted faded black denim (an H&M score), a pair of fishnets (yeah, they’re a thing), and a double-buckle belt (get it at ASOS for under $30). Some dainty jewelry and a pair of classic + cool loafer mules work in some more ladylike elements and provide a little balance to the outfit.
Shop the look:
Now sharing what the rest of the ladies put together:
Teens: Eve from The World According to Eve
This one-shoulder stunner is too fun!
20’s: Roxanne from Glass of Glam
Roxanne looks gorgeous in this burgundy shirt dress! What a great piece.
40’s: Sheela from Sheela Writes
Sheela never shies away from a dramatic look; I love that!
50’s: Cherie from StyleNudge
Cherie is maxed out on brights here and I love it.
This was such a fun collab to be part of; thanks to Sheela for including me! With that, I’m wishing you a happy Friday + weekend!

I love Project Sister Act, it has such an inspiring mission! That said, I love the looks all of you ladies came up centered around red. It’s one of the colors of the season, I’ve noticed, and looks so good on everyone! I love that you added in some trendy pieces to your look with the fishnet and those chic loafer slides. Thanks for sharing, babe, and I hope you have very Happy Monday!

This is such a cool look. I’m loving how you styled the plaid shirt, and the fishnet and loafer details are amazing. Also – did you do something new to your hair? It looks amazing! Also that lipstick shade is so pretty!

This is such a cool spin on the theme. Your mix of the fishnets with the plaid shirt and high-waisted jeans was Amazing.
