I Love Plaid

DSC_4261

 I live on a pretty busy road in downtown Chicago and I always wander to some quiet, private area for photos, but this time I worked up the courage to be out front of my apartment. I love the cabs, buses and the city chaos that was happening in the background. It was definitely worth the stares from young families that live in my neighborhood. I wore this outfit on Friday to celebrate Plaidurday and for a while on Saturday. Sometimes I like an outfit so much I wear it two days in a row.
Don and I spent Saturday shopping out in the suburbs and I took him to Kuma’s Corner, a metal themed bar/restaurant known for their delicious burgers. He loves metal and we both love burgers. It was sweet. The wait wasn’t though. It was 1.5 hours before we were seated and another 35 minutes until we received our food, but it was totally worth it.

    I am sooooooooooooo glad and soooooooooo proud of you for taking pics in front of your house! That takes a lot of courage, my friend. I get all kinds of discombobulated when I take my pics in front of people. I looooooove your high waisted flare jeans and that jacket is perfect for your plaid. Lookin good girl!

    I love the plaid shirt with the high waisted jeans! I too am guilty of re-wearing an outfit the next day if I like it a lot. And Kuma's is DELISH. I agree that the food is worth the wait.

    I appreciate your honesty! I all too often wear the same outfit (or maybe a slight variation of an outfit) two days in a row – partially out of love and partially out of laziness. Like today, for instance, I woke up to fog and drizzle, and I grabbed the same Missoni for Target cardigan I wore yesterday – why not?

    I love plaid, as well, and the colors in this one paired with wide leg jeans creates such a classic, casual look!

    You're so brave!!!! Every now and then I purposely take pics at random times so that no one stares. Glad you braved it though – it was worth it.

    You're now on my Pinterest page, woman, because you look so fantastic in this outfit and I wantz it for my own! I love the wide legs with the plain and the jacket. It's very 70's dude while still being totally you. Also, it's just nice to see your face when I open my Pinterest. 🙂
