How It Works

My sister looked at today�s outfit and said �I don�t get it�:

I said, �What is there to get?  They�re both plaid.�

She responded with, �I don�t think that�s how it works.�

I responded by laughing really loudly and saying �That�s exactly how it works.�

The thing is, I honestly do think this outfit makes perfect sense.  I�ve had the skirt for a while but the sweater vest is a recent thrifted acquisition.  But, when I tried the vest on, my immediate* thought was that I would wear it with this skirt.  

For me, a plaid with a plaid is nothing but good, especially when the other rules of pattern mixing are followed; these pieces have a similar scale and they share a predominant color.

Vest: thrifted vintage   Skirt: thrifted vintage  Tights: Spanx  Belt: Gap, similar  Shoes: Naya "Jada", similar

Okay, so I guess both pieces being plaid isn�t what makes these pieces work together, but I still maintain that they do work.

Happy Thursday, All!

*Okay, that�s not entirely true.  My actual immediate thought when trying this vest on was �holy side-boob!� as it�s open basically to the waist.  But, my second thought was to pair it with this skirt.  I swear.
