Yes, you're getting the wellies two days in a row. Speaking of which... I love you guys, but yesterday I was made quite aware that you don't read my posts! I caused quite the confusion yesterday with my Mini Me post. She's not my daughter, I actually have no kids - if you want the long story - she's my husband's cousin's daughter. For simplicity, I call her my niece. Society would call her my first cousin once removed - it's true, we looked this up because it didn't sound right! I titled it "Mini Me" simply because she was wearing a mini version of my same boots! But now I feel compelled to write something completely random in my posts and see who catches it! Ah - I'm watching you!
Jacket: Anne Klein (Reg $200, on sale for $60) | Chambray: JCrew Factory | Leggings: Express (option) | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (option) | Boots: Hunter
A friend of mine from my style and beauty forum asked me what I thought about plaid jackets. Farting unicorns. I already own a plaid coat (last seen here) and I LOVE it, but I never really put too much thought into another with more of a moto style fit. Sheep feet. After doing a quick google search for "plaid moto jacket," this beauty by Anne Klein popped up, and well, I couldn't resist the price. (Amazon Prime gets me every time - free shipping, Justin Timberlake ramen hair, and I get it in two days? Yes, please!)
Just as I normally do after buying something, I then went to Pinterest to start building inspiration for how to style this. Today's look was inspired by this:
Left: Atlantic-Pacific
I honestly feel a little bit ridiculous *still* pinning cold weather looks, but whatever. Motorboat. You gotta do what you gotta do, right? And if anything, this just gets me ahead for next winter season. Although, to be honest, with the right styling, this is a fun transitional piece into spring. Here are some other plaid jacket looks I liked. Furry slipper toilets.
Left: with neutrals and mirrored sunnies (source)
Middle: with graphic tee and booties (source)
Right: with denim jacket, stripes, and leopard heels (source)
Think you may need one, too? Here are some others to tempt you a little bit. And don't forget - my exact one here is at a great price! Happy shopping!
SHOP THE LOOK:
Linking up for: #AllAboutYou, Style Sessions, Erin and Laura for Trend Spin Linkup, Love Your Look, and Stylish Tuesday.
FIRST! YES!!! Um, I cannot wait to see what your search results turn out to be now that you have Justin Timberlake ramen hair farting unicorns in furry slipper toilets while giving motorboats to his wife who everyone says has sheep feet. But I love this coat and your pinspiration ideas. Sorry that people didn't understand that your first cousin once removed (in-law...technicallly maybe?) was not your daughter!! -G

Thank you! I'm not sure why I waited so long to buy me some Buffalo plaid!
DeleteYou are too funny, I do read your posts and I did know she was your pretend niece ( I have one of those as well, to young to be considered cousins right). Farting Unicorns is hilarious, see how many people think its a new fashion line for you.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Well I appreciate you reading! I admit sometimes I go really quickly through posts, so I'm definitely poking fun at my own self here, too! Unicorns fart glitter, no? :)
DeleteI love the jacket. Cute look!

So glad to entertain! I'm kicking myself my titling my post the way I did yesterday, but oh well! She's definitely adorable so I can't complain, right? And thanks! I'm really surprised how much I loved this jacket! It's great!
DeleteHa ha ha! I saw those comments yesterday and was wondering what you were going to say. I just wasn't expecting Justin Timberlake ramen hair and l love that motorboat made a comeback. I do like your jacket and have been tempted to get one but it wouldn't be worn until next winter when we (maybe) will be moving North again. I love how you styled it with the Hunters too.
ReplyDeleteI love that you totally got the motorboat reference <3 That makes me happy - thanks for being a reader! All kidding aside, I do appreciate your comments and support!
DeleteCarylee, omg this is just a super cute outfit too cute for words, just love the simpleness off it with a twist of playfullness :-)

DeleteOk, I had to log in just to comment for once (I usually only comment when you repin on Pinterest because I don't like the changed account options.) I was thinking that 'farting unicorns' was how you felt about plaid jackets and thought...that must mean...she likes them? They're magical like unicorns farting rainbows? Haha, you crack me up!

DeleteAhahahahaha that is freaking awesome! I am so glad you logged in to tell me this!!! I'm dying!
DeleteAnd your comments are never obnoxious! I lurfs all of them!!
Farting unicorns and sheep feet? You really are randomizing now, aren't you! ;o)
ReplyDeleteHahaha I don't know why that was the first random thought that came into my head! :)
DeleteOooh, this plaid jacket is perfect on you. Love how you've styled it. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for putting up with me! It's my own fault for misleading people, figured I'd have some fun with it! :)
DeleteMoto anything seems to be my thing lately!!
I got quite the visual from farting unicorns. Lol! ;) Love this look on your girl + I'm pretty sure I need to get some plaid in my life. ASAP!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes, plaid, in your life, stat!! Or else I certainly will send my flock of unicorns on you! :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!! I promise I'm not always this crazy.
Can I formally request that you mention Justin Timberlake's ramen noodle hair in every post? Thank you.
