Is there a print more snuggly-looking than plaid? I think not. Maybe that's why darker-hued plaids are so popular during the holiday season. They look so cozy, warm, and inviting, like a great big cup of tartan hot cocoa. But you know what else makes me think of winter? White. Not the new-snow-on-a-sunny-day-AHH-MY-RETINAS white, but a mellower winter white that looks like new snow on a cloudy day. Which, in my personal experience, are far more common than the sunny varieties anyways. So for today's outfit, I married both together:
plaid shirt, f21
ringspun cardigan, j.crew
stretch double-serge pencil skirt, j.crewblack tights + pointelle tights, hue + j.crew
red flats, target [x-ish]
belt, anthropologie
pave heart ring, coach
Speaking of the holidays, how many of you are done Christmas shopping? Yeah, me neither. But I am close, so I have begun my favorite part of Christmas present-ing -- wrapping the gifts! Sometimes I have a little too much free time and do this to movies I've wrapped:
But doesn't that look like a waaaaaay better movie than The Last Airbender? *
*not the actual movie inside, but still, it looks better than The Last Airbender
AmyK - I LOVE this holiday-esque outfit. It look like a big cup of tartan cocoa :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great, the tights, the shoes, the cardi and belt. Perfecto my bloggie friend!
Will you come wrap all of my Christmas gifts? Because I'm awful at it and usually end up sticking them in gift bags. :(
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable! I especially love the wide belt with this outfit.
Amy you look so pretty. I love your outfit. Tartan and winter white is a beautiful combination. Yes, perfecto. You're so creative. I love your wrapping paper idea.
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit! And you have the best skirt missy! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet comment on my blog! I really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI love your wearing of white today! How bold of you =) It looks great with this outfit and gives me some ideas for my own wardrobe!
you do look like a picture of holiday perfection - this outfit would be great for a casual holiday lunch with family or office get together!
ReplyDeleteYour looks are always the perfect amount of polished meets quirky (a fabulous combo in my book!) And this one is no different!
ReplyDeleteYou are too adorable for your own good ^^
ReplyDeleteI love how you've done the layering for your outfit today! From the color of the skirt to the color of the shoes to the color of the belt (all essentially picking up from the color palette of the plaid shirt). You look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog. I love this outfit and your nail polish, how cute!
ReplyDeleteLove your winter white! I wish I had your belt collection. If I actually bought more belts, I probably could :) I like seeing all your creative work lately!
ReplyDeleteLove everything about this. Cozy, chic, perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit ~ winter white is so chic plus its goes with everything. A win win. And I'm a sucker for plaid ~ it's an excellent combination. And this has just sealed the deal for me ~ I HAVE to get this skirt. I've been wanting it in grey forever...I can't take it any more - this is my budget buster. Ha!
ReplyDeleteahh, i love this [winter] white skirt. and i want to give that whale a squeeze, he's cute!
ReplyDeleteI think you and Buddy the Elf would become besties in the wrapping department!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your chic, casual-yet-office appropriate, mildly scholarly in a young hip way look today!
ZOMG!!! I always want to wear white, red, and blue together but am scared to look like a flag. LOL
ReplyDeleteI want your outfit. *grabby hands* It's simply perfect.
And might I add that your wrapping is hilarious? Too good. :)
Scheming to out together a similar look and gift now. Heheheheheh
Fabulous look. I love that you match your red wall :)
ReplyDeleteWoW! This outfit is absolute perfection. I love the shirt and skirt and belt and EVERYTHING! It looks comfy too!
ReplyDeleteI really love this whole look. I don't wear much plaid because I view it as being so casual, but you really know how to glam it up and make it look fabulous! Love that belt...perfection!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute outfit! I especially love the pop of red from the shoes :)

Amy, you look so hip and cool in this holiday outfit! It has the right amount of "holiday" to it. I don't even own a plaid shirt (sad, I know) but seeing how great one looks on you, with that pencil skirt, makes me want to purchase one NOW!
