Hope everyone had a good weekend. I had a great birthday weekend filled with two of my favorite things, good food and quality time with the people I love. The best part was when my girls woke up at 7 a.m. to cook me breakfast, all on their own. They did an awesome job but really just the fact that they thought of doing such a thoughtful thing for my birthday made me happy.
I’m really excited about this post! Remember back in September, I was on the hunt for a plaid shirt and posted about it here. Well, after waiting forever I eventually got to purchase my top choice on sale, which was the Madewell ex-boyfriend shirt in cherry plaid. So I thought it would be fun to recreate the three looks that I shared in that same post in real life. On top of that, I took each look from fall to winter for a total of six different outfits. Just making sure I get the most mileage out of this plaid shirt!

FALL TO WINTER

I love these types of posts! And every single look turned out great! I have a problem with being creative with my outfits, if I know a certain combo looks good then I usually keep pairing it together. I like how posts like this encourage me to think outside the box a little more.
Happy birthday Cynthia! (And your birthday dinner looked amazing judging from instagram!) Love seeing your six different outfit options for this plaid shirt. All of them turned out great!

Such a great remix post, Cynthia. One can do so much with a plaid shirt. I actually own a similar plaid shirt which I recently wore over my little white lace dress. Happy to see you did the same. My top 3 looks here are 1, 5 & 6. Looks like 2015 will be so stylish for you. Looking forward to more.
Happy Monday! Ada. =)
This is just an all around fantastic post! I love the way you styled the plaid shirt. My favorites are the belted version and the one under the sweater. Great job!
I love posts like this! It gets me thinking about remixing what I already own too! I hope you had a great Birthday!
