Plaid-itude

Happy monday my dears. My apologies for the slow start to the day - it's just been one of those mornings. Maybe if I'd had a fabulous ensemble like this one to jump into I would have been more quick on the draw.

I've avoided the plaid-fad, but I could get into this. Add black tights and a long wooly cardi and it'd easily get me through today's 20-something degree temps and turn into my go-to outfit come spring.  

Unfortunately, I don't know the source of this brilliant look but Joanna just happened to find something similar last week. It's from Steven Allen's spring collection and I think it could work quite nicely.

PS, the spring collection also has a romper - do you dare??
