If you haven’t noticed by now, I’ll tell you a little secret about myself… I have an obsession with mixing plaid and leopard prints. It’s actually kind of extreme how many of these plaid tops I now own. They’re just so easy to dress up or down and are over-the-top comfortable, which is what I need when going to and from campus. I wanted to give this outfit a more relatable approach by wearing dark wash skinny jeans and lace-up heels. While the jeans are a bit on the pricey side, I promise you’d get all of your money’s worth out of them. I’ve worn mine 4 times since I’ve had them, which has only been since mid-last week. There’s nothing better than a soft, comfortable and flattering pair of denim. Instead of pairing plaid with a statement necklace, like I did here, I opted for daintier jewels. There’s so much you can do with a basic plaid top! How would you wear yours?

PS. Just realized I’m wearing some green in this post for St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂
