December, whoa. Can you believe the end of the year is nearly here? I’m reeling a bit from how fast fall flew by, and now we’re in the holiday season– and in my birthday month!
I do love a plaid shirt, and lumberjack black + red check is a classic. I bought this version at Forever21, and sized it up to amplify that borrowed-from-the-boyfriend feel. Faded black denim felt like a good match, and I grabbed an old pair of classic Michael Kors boots to top off the look.
Do you mix high and low? The shirt retails for less than a $20 spot, while the boots and jeans run considerably higher. I mix and match pieces across price points because it stretches my closet. You can make an affordable score from Forever21 look designer if you style it correctly, am I right? It doesn’t matter how many expensive pieces you have in your closet (or if you have any!); dressing in head-to-toe designer doesn’t a style make. Mix it up! Pairing your high end pieces with your budget steals is a great way to keep your closet fresh.
Linking up today with Get Your Pretty On and Life’s a Party Dress Like It.
Love a great lumberjack look! Red and Black is such a great combo! This looks great on you!

I love mixing prices all of the time, and the best part is that you cannot tell the difference. I love those boots and of course like I said, the shirt 🙂

Great idea with sizing up! I’ve been looking for one that has a slouchy feel and didn’t even think of that, duh! LOVE this look from head to toe. Perfect!
I mix all my clothes regardless of how nice a brand they are 😛 I love this! Plaid is always the right answer 🙂

hey its Thandi here! Just stopping by your pretty blog to wish you a very merry christmas ! hope youve had a great year!..love your outfits!!
This is pretty much the perfect plaid shirt. I love it with your gray wash jeans! I recently got a pair of gray jeans and have been loving wearing them in place of my normal dark blue denim.
So chic! You look great 🙂 I’m dying over those boots, perfect height I think! And plaid is my fave, especially in red hues!
love plaid shirt in this period more than ever. I’m going to buy one for the Christmas’ eve, to wear with statement necklaces.
