Plaid Fad



BB Dakota Jacket.  Vintage Blouse and Boots.  Club Monaco Leggings.  Bop Basics Beret
gifted Rebecca Minkoff Bag.  Linda Farrow for the Row Sunglasses.


I admittedly have never been a huge plaid wearer. The checked pattern always felt a little too prep for me but this blanket jacket has quickly changed my mind. It is the ideal fall color palette, cozy and not too plaidy (if that makes any sense). I now have my eye on a few other plaid numbers, including this killer Rag & Bone biker jacket.

Wishing you a happy Halloween!

Love that jacket!!!!

I've had a love/hate relationship with plaid ever since I bought a mini that made me look like a school girl. Your jacket is an amazing improvement on the typical checked pattern and still fits your great, edgy style. I love the rag & bone jacket too.

Being a plaid lover, this is to die for. Love it. I actually like to find ways to make plaid not so preppy- I think it can be a bit rocker when done right :) You look great!

Shayne Renee said...

Great coat!! You look super cozy :)

Adventures in Fashion said...

This is by far my favourite outfit of yours to date, and I love all your outfits... Oh em gee, that BB Dakota jacket is incredible!!! *sigh*

la petite coquine said...

What a divine coat-I'm crazy for it, but then again, I'm a sucker for preppy plaid!

Holly said...

loving everything about this outfit! you look great :)

Satin And Salt said...

This coat you are featuring is fantastic! I am a HUGE fan of what I like to call "well cut potato sacks," basically I love items that are more slouchy and comfortable but still cut to make your body look good. This coat satisfies both of those requirements! is it itchy at all or anything?

Okay that little jacket is fabulous. Gorge outfit!!

April said...

Oh that blanket coat looks perfect! I'm sure you'll be getting loads of use from it!!

Victoria said...

I love the large plaid pattern on this jacket. It's a great fall piece without being too overbearing. I love that you belted it to give you more shape. Those leggings are amazing. My friend has them and they look great. Happy Halloween!

love the whole look, will be checking CM for those leggings.

Inez said...

The blanket jacket is really great-looking. Yes, and not too 'plaidy':)

HeatherClark said...

totally saw that jacket on shopbop. BB Dakota is really bringing it lately and is at such a good price point. I'm waiting for the red kassia dress they just added in the mail.

thanks for the sweet comment-I know so surreal-it was almost all bay area people!

The jacket looks amazing on you! It's not plaidy at all, in fact.. I didn't even think plaid when I saw it! I am not a huge plaid girl either.

Sarah said...

Suzy said...

Cute jacket!

Erin said...

Hi!
Just wondering how the fit of the jacket is? I am 5'11" and a size 6 but can't get a read on how it fits (one review said small to size, the other didn't). What size are you wearing and how do you think it fits?
Much appreciated as I love it!!
Erin

I love that jacket ... and that it's just long enough to cover the booty ... mine is too large to be wearin leggings like pants. Yikes! Cute look! :)

Alicia said...

@Erin - I'm 5'1'' and my jacket is a S. I usually wear an XS in jackets but sized up so I could layer thick sweaters underneath. I would say it runs pretty true to size!

Erin said...

Thank you so much Alicia! BTW I love your blog and checking for your latest outfit posts.
