Plaid Shirts and Pencil Skirts - an Outfit Post

Posted by GirlieBlogger@Seattle Beauty and Fashion Blog

Happy Monday, fashionable girlies! How was everyone's weekend?

If you haven't noticed yet -- plaid is everywhere! Possibly because it's such a versatile style of clothing. 

For a recent event, I barely had time to change from mommy gear to business wear. So, I threw on a pencil skirt over the plaid shirt I already wore. 

The result? Instant dress up!







 What about you?


How do you dress up plaid shirts?

  9. I think that looks great. It's not a combination you'd normally think of together but it really works. Plus that outfit looks great on your figure, gives you a fantastic shape! I envy you!!

    I don't actually own any plaid somehow...I used to have one shirt but I never really wore it so I think I sold it on eBay?!!

  16. i love plaid!! so creative to mix it up w the pencil skirt. i love the look. i usually associate plaid w more casual looks, need to change my way of thinking and change it up! :D

  17. This does look very dressed up and subtly sexy too! I actually only have one plaid shirt... and it's more of a bright aqua with yellow.. farmer shirt that isn't exactly good for dressing up at all. I think I need to expand my options!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Great belt! You wear belts so much better than I do!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Lovely- admittedly I wouldn't have thought to mix the plaid shirt with the pencil skirt, but this is wonderful! I particularly like the boots you are wearing with this.

  20. Thanks for the sweet words on my post on Tiffany's blog!
    The only plaid shirt I have is a flannel plaid - I think I need to invest in one that can be dressed up!

  23. You look so put together, which is amazing for a plaid shirt which usually is thought of as casual! :)

  36. I can't even express to you how much I love this!! The pencil skirt and boots are perfect for dressing up the plaid shirt!

    I think I've only once tried to dress up a plaid shirt and I did it by wearing a flowy black skirt with it. I might try it with the pencil skirt, next. =)

  53. This is really cute! I think it really works because the color pallet of the plaid is more 'grown up'. It wouldn't work so well if it were more junior-y. :)

  54. Love this! You look so wonderful.. I never wear pencil skirts but lately I have really wanted to try!
