Plaid Pants + Ivory Blazer

Written by Shakira on . Posted in Personal Style, Style. Leave a Comment

Well beloveds November is here and that means that it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Why? Because it’s my birthday month! Just how did I kick off my celebration yesterday? By traveling over an hour and a half to get to work thanks to the Philly Septa (our public transportation system) strike.

No shade to the union employess… because benefits, but yesterday’s commute was a hot stanky mess! I made up for it by treating myself to some clearence Halloween candy and a gourmet hot chocolate tho. I have to say Monday’s tartan ensemble has lead to me very own mini plaid revival and I now find myself pulling out all the plaid I own.

Hence today’s outfit features more plaid perfection and loafer love to get you through humpday. Let me just tell you these pants are so comfy you could wear them all week. The stretch fabric makes me forget their not leggings, perfect for long unromantic walk to the train station.

I found this fabulous blazer a few years back from a thrift shop and it’s easily become one of my favorite pieces. The styling options are endless. With my loafers and bowler bag I’m ready to be great. Enjoy your Wednesday loves, try not to work too hard lol!

Another work week is upon us and I hope you’ve had a great weekend. I spent my Friday decorating my office at work for our “Pink Friday” competition in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. Those of you who follow me on Instagram saw all the festivities in my Insta-Story.

Saturday and Sunday were dedicated to family strategizing for my upcoming wedding and being with my church family. Some changes are being made which I will soon share in detail on here the blog. Best part of my weekend is having my voice completely back. I’m feeling much better, just in time for my birthday month to begin tomorrow!

 

Now that it really feels like fall I’ve decided it’s the perfect time to pull out my turtlenecks and tights. Today I’m wearing both with one of my favorite fall staples, a Tartan skirt. Plaid seems synonymous with back to school and fall fashion and this pleated number takes me back down memory lane.

Growing up I attended private school and I lived in plaid uniforms until 9th grade when I switched to a public high school. This entire look is inspired by those years. I suppose if I could’ve opted for heels instead of loafers, but it’s Monday and to be honest I live in flats at the office. How about you, what are your fall fashion favorites? Let me know in the comments and have a great Monday loves!
