gingham – The Sol Compass

Gingham Goodness

Hey babes, welcome back! In a sea of plaid flannels, this gingham popover from J.Crew really stuck out to me this fall. The gorgeous green is such a nice change of pace from conventional fall colors (which you all know I love!) and the blouse has a nice different silhouette than the button up. To keep my look anchored in the season, I paired it with these rust booties from Sole Society that I have been absolutely obsessed with ever since I got them!

Do you have any plans for the weekend? I’m heading out to Springfield with my parents and sister for family weekend at baby bro’s college, and then early celebratory festivities before my birthday on Monday (eep!) Whatever your weekend brings you, I hope it’s filled with laughs and happiness!

Matching

Fun Fact about yours truly: I am a sucker for anything that is perfectly matched. On Monday when this post went live, a friend came up to me and said “I know why you love that skirt so much-because it matches your hair!”

She may have a point. My suede skirt that I love so dearly does match my hair, just like today’s blazer so perfectly matches my skirt and my glasses match my top here. Matching is one of those things I know I can always fall back on, because it pulls a look together even when I’m not 100% feeling the ensemble. This plaid skirt could go with so many things, but on a Monday morning you can bet I’ll fall right back into the routine of matching black and red (the color combo I’ve apparently loved this winter time and time again…)

Outfit Details – Blazer: LOFT (last seen here and here) | Blouse: J.Crew (last seen here) | Skirt: The Limited (old, similar here, here, here, and here, love this plaid dress) (last seen here and here) | Heels: Express | Necklace: Banana Republic Factory Store | Glasses: Warby Parker (last seen here) | Earrings: Bauble Bar | Bracelets: LC Lauren Conrad, The Limited | Bag: Banana Republic Factory (new version here)

The New Neutral

As I mentioned in Tuesday’s post, I’m totally obsessing over pink this spring. Some of my favorite pink finds this spring have been these shoes and this bag, because of their soft and versatile blush tone. Blush is the perfect new neutral, because it goes with absolutely everything. It can tone an outfit down or add a feminine touch of color like it does here.

Checkmate

I have been loving all of the gingham prints hitting stores for spring this month! This classic black and white skirt is the perfect piece for early spring, since it’s not too aggressively “spring” while we still have snow on the ground, and goes with absolutely anything! Stay tuned to see how I style it in the future, I’m sure it will make quite a few more appearances here!
