Mad for Plaid and Leopard

Navy Lace Top (similar here, here and here) // Zara Skirt (similar here, here and here) // Balenciaga bag // Leopard Heels (old; similar) // Necklace (a great optional alternative or this and this) // “Napa Vineyard” Lip Color

Personally, I associate plaid with coziness. Think of being in your softest to the touch PJ’s, sitting on a plush rug on the floor by a crackling fireplace while listening to your favorite seasonal tunes softly playing in the background.  This fabric is my seasonal comfort style much like a pumpkin spice latte with coconut milk is to me during this time of year. Basically, I’m mad for plaid.

Naturally, anytime I come across an amazing plaid piece like this skirt I picked up at Zara over two weeks ago, I fall for it immediately (no pun intended). What I love most about this skirt besides the red and black plaid print, are the waist buttons and how the skirt flares out. The way it billows makes me feel free. Its equal parts preppy and modern style makes it a great seasonal update to my wardrobe that will team well with my high heel boots and turtlenecks for many fall and winter seasons to come.
