Unexpected Duo {Parte Une}


Target Flannel and Fedora.  Vince Sweater.  Current/Elliot Boyfriend Jeans.  JewelMint Mosaic Ring.  JCrew Cuff.


So the East Coast has really rubbed off on me... I'm embracing plaids and really dig this unexpected mix of plaid with cheetah. What do you think?! 


Color blocking nails + chunky (and afforable!) Mosaic ring from JewelMint.


Side Note: this Albertus Swanepoel for Target fedora comes with feathers on the side that I wasn't crazy about so I simply snipped them off for a look that is very similar to the Albertus Swanepoel for JCrew fedora I had longed for, only less expense - win!

As a D.C. native, I've loved seeing your transition into more East Coast styles. This outfit is so cozy, comfortable and slightly eclectic while still giving off a hint of prep. So perfect.

I would say this unexpected duo is a win! I went to watch football yesterday and wore a similar flannel with a leopard cardi over it. I felt cute, but the crowd at Brother Jimmy's was definitely a little confussed ;)

Real Girl Glam said...

In love with this leopard fedora and love the look overall! So comfy and cozy but still looks great!

Erika @ ~TiptoeButterfly~ said...

hummmm i do have to go to Target today - that hat is the jeans beans!

Taylor said...

DYING over that hat!!!! I have to agree, its pretty fab - I wonder if mine still have any! Button downs and sweaters are the way to go for the cold - I swear I wear them everyday!

Love this look!! You just gave me the greatest idea for an outfit!!

Liz said...

I've been wearing my plaid flannel shirts (I have a bit of an obsession) with the J Crew leopard belt I got last year. And when I'm feeling brave, I wear plaid with the Sam Edelman leopard petty ankle boots. Love the combination of leopard and plaid...and you look amazing, as always!
