Outfit #11 of the Winter Outfit Challenge
Do you purchase the same things over & over? It’s essential to know what works best for you, but to keep your style from feeling stale, diversity is the key. For winter, there are 3 types of sweaters you should have in your closet.
- One neutral colored sweater.
- One colored sweater.
- One textured or printed sweater in a neutral or complementary color to your “colored” sweater.
This principle also applies to cardigans. With these 6 pieces, (3 sweaters + 3 cardigans) you’ll be covered and cozy!
PLAID SHIRT WITH A TEXTURED SWEATER & JEANS
For my second plaid shirt outfit, I knew I wanted to style it with a sweater and my two choices were a classic navy v-neck cashmere or a textured sweater. I picked this one because I love winter white. It feels bright & fresh on a rainy day. See this sweater styled with over the knee boots.
The mini-dome purse pulled this outfit together for me. I spotted a display of chic dome purses at Target this week that would be great for adding polish to your outfits year-round! I love the classic “Kate Spade” feel that elevates a relaxed look to “casual chic.”

Comment of the Day
Today’s comment comes from Glenda on the post How To Wear Your Favorite Plaid Top 3 New Ways: Part 1
This is uber cute. I am a plaid lover from way back, and this one is a classic. Looks like a great pulled-together-but-not-trying-too-hard outfit that would work for grocery shopping, flea marketing, trips with the kids, etc. Perfect! 🙂
You nailed it, Glenda. I love all these ideas on where to wear this outfit. I’ve also seen fitted plaid tops styled for a party with a skirt, heels, and statement necklace. There are so many ways you can style this shirt!

I’m so happy you were inspired! My goal in this mini series is to help my friends find new ways of wearing an old favorite in their closet. Have a wonderful weekend! Heading over to check out your new post.
I love the fun pom pom knit you layered over the shirt! It’s a fun and cosy way to layer a shirt for cooler weather. It rarely gets cold enough for me to need long sleeves under a knit here though in Brisbane sadly!
Hope that your week is going well and you have a nice weekend ahead of you 🙂
I had no idea Brisbane was so warm. What is the average temperature for February? We’ve been experiencing a warm winter this year – high 50’s F. So far a coat over a sweater in the morning/evening and just a sweater during the day is just right here in the San Fran Bay Area. Have a wonderful weekend!
Such a cute look! Love the sweater and how you’ve added the plaid shirt under it!

Thank you! I’m always brainstorming new ways of wearing old favorites!
So cute. Love the bobble sweater!
Thank you, Lori! It’s always good to hear from you. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend.
The plaid shirt is so cute and gives a bit of color and interest to that neutral sweater. I love the little pom poms on the sweater, too!

I adore the little pom pom detail on the sweater too. I hear polka dots are on trend for spring so I’m ready!
How cute is the pom pom detail on your sweater! Love the plaid peeking out! Your boots are gorgeous too!
