Mad for Plaid







You know what I remember about taking these photos? How stinking bright it was outside! Major squintfest in the sun, but thankfully we found some shade refuge. And goodness it was delightfully and refreshingly warm. I mean, I was comfortably dressed with bare leggedy legs peeking out and no parka. In January, sheesh. That's because these were taken in Raleigh, NC. Which I quickly came to realize, as anticipated, has a much milder winter climate than good ol Minnesota. So of course I wore a skirt almost every day. Of course!

sweater: c/o loft (similar), blouse: thrifted (similar), skirt: tommy hilfiger, boots: tahari via marshalls (similar)

I love the print-mixing you did here! And that scalloped bag! Is it vintage? If not, I must know where you go it. So cute!

I was hoping as I scrolled that I would see you wore this in NC because if it was in MN I would've been scared for your life. "How could you possible wear a teeny skirt in -2 degrees?!" Never mind. I hope you enjoyed the warmth of NC! :) You look adorable by the way!!

Love,
Rubi
