Spring Plaid & Shop My Closet Week 17

It's Wednesday and time for another round of Style Perspectives with the ladies of The Blended Blog.  I think last week's graphic tee prompt was my favorite so far - I want them all!  Thanks to everyone who linked up with us and joined in the fun.

This week we're styling a plaid look, courtesy of Alison.  I got to meet Alison in Vegas a few weeks ago, and she's so much fun.  She taught us how to recreate her signature outfit "pose". Which I tried to do once I got home...and failed. Maybe I'll have better luck next week.  Be sure to head to The Blended Blog to see her plaid look, and find out who had the top clicked links from last week.

I was stumped when trying to decide what to wear for this prompt.  Since I'm "shopping my closet", I had already worn my plaid shirts.  And yes, there are many.  The plaid scarves were all too heavy and winter-y. And then I remembered gingham, which is a type of checkered plaid, although its symmetry and single color sets it apart.  See, I was paying attention in my fabrics class in college!  Or I googled it.  Anyway. 

I chose this blue gingham top and paired it with one of my favorite 7 for all mankind jeans. I love the fit and comfort of their jeans. Find the style you prefer, and then keep an eye out on Hautelook, where they regularly carry them for at least half off.  Because nobody should ever pay retail for jeans.  Ever.

Linking up today with A Lovely Little Wardrobe, The Pleated Poppy, Thursday Fashion Files, Fashion Friday, Fabulous Friday, Pumps and Pushups, How I Style It, Not Dead Yet Style, My Refined Style, Thursday Moda, I do Declaire

Are you getting tired of shopping my closet?  Because I am.  But I must press on.  It's week 17 with no end in sight.

Be sure to check out everyone's plaid style today, and come back next week for leggings and a scarf.  I hope you'll link up below, or join along on Insta/Facebook/Twitter using #theblendedblogstyle.  We'd love to see your looks!
