Another mash up/shop my closet outfit! I’ve had two (Alison Borenstein?) blazer outfit combinations pinned for a month or so with the intention of trying them out once shorts weather ended. Well, that time has come!

Pics #1/2 are the inspo photos. Pics #3-5 are my ‘fits. Though I like the idea of the wide leg jeans, I think the outfit needed the higher contrast of a lighter wash denim. Also, I prefer the shirt tucked into the waist of the jeans. I’ve been carrying the bag with the strap shorter/doubled up - more like a hand bag, but reeled it out for cross body length like the inspo photos. I was fine with the loafers, but might style it with white converse next time. I think the white would mirror the white in the plaid, and the red stripe would pick up the colour of the bag. I could try this with white jeans for a different vibe.


The plaid shirt is new JCrew 100% cotton flannel from the men’s department. Cozy and warm. The sleeves are l-o-n-g It’s a recent purchase, made after I realized that my one (1) flannel shirt has been the most worn top of all my tops! Though I’m showing some skin for the pose in #3, the reality is that I’m wearing an undershirt, and tucked it up under my bra for the photo, LOL! It was accidental that the Darntuff wool socks were turquoise, rust, and wine - so for funsies I rolled the cuffs for the last photo.

At the grocery store I was complimented on my outfit (#4) by two young women! They particularly liked the plaid shirt.

Thanks for looking!
