Stripes + Plaid
1/07/2016
Happy Thursday friends! We've almost officially made it through the first full week of 2016. How's everyone feeling so far? Our weather has been up and down this week which has me all kinds of confused. We started out pretty chilly (especially compared to what it was the week of Christmas) and now we're back up in the 70's but off and on rainy. Kinda crazy and definitely hard to plan for. Luckily my Hunter boots are perfect for this kind of weather!
Since I get up pretty early and it's usually still pretty cool out I've been trying to layer so prepare for the weather. This striped tee is perfect for layering under a sweater or a jacket when it's cooler and by itself when it warms up. I decided to mix stripes and plaid by throwing on my plaid blanket scarf to keep cozy and my favorite floppy hat to keep the rain showers out of my face. Of course any rainy/snowy day calls for Hunter boots to top off your look!
I absolutely love my Hunters and I love that they were under $100! And nope, they weren't on sale either. Want to know my secret? They're kids Hunter boots and they're regularly $80 instead of the normal $150! Did you know that if you wear a women's shoe size 9 or smaller that the kids Hunters will fit you? They're actually the same measurements as the adult sizes. For example, I usually wear a size 5.5 or 6 so I ordered the size 4 in kids. If you wear a size 9 in women's you'd wear a size 7 in kids. Don't believe me? Just check out the sizing chart on their site! Now you know my secret! :)

I definitely didn't know the Hunter boots secret!
ReplyDeleteI've worn this combination a bunch this year, either with the long tunic that I have or the shorter version similar to what you're wearing here, that I got from Loft. The blanket scarf goes so well and adds that Fall/Winter touch!
Love your hat!!! I just got a few hats myself and I am kind of obsessed. Love your print mixing too!

ReplyDeleteStripes and plaid, two of my faves. You are rocking this look flawlessly, lady!
ReplyDeleteOne of my all-time favorite looks - stripes mixed with another pattern. You look fab!
ReplyDeleteI have been rocking stripes + plaid SO much lately!! I hardly ever wear my Hunter boots because I honestly just forget about them. Gorg as always! Xo
ReplyDeleteLove this look! Stripes and blanket scarves and hunter boots go perfectly together! And I had no idea about the Hunter kids sizes, I'll definitely have to keep that in mind for when I decide to buy another pair!
ReplyDeleteYou know how I feel about stripes and plaid! One of my favorite combos. Great shots girl!
ReplyDeletePlaid and stripes, my favorite combo!! I can't believe how warm it was there the week of Christmas, I'm shivering in the Carolinas now!

That is the best secret ever! I can't believe even my big old feet would fit into kids!! That's so brilliant!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute look girl!! I'm loving the floppy hat! Such a staple outfit here!! Everything just works!! Genius on the kids sizing - I had no idea but their shoes are less expensive so it's so much better! xo, Biana
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning! This hat is absolute perfection on you!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite combos! And I hear ya on the weather, it's just been so dreary and chilly.. blah! I had no idea that I could fit into kids size Hunters, mine are the adult size and they're too big. I bet the same will work with Uggs too <3

Loving the stripes and plaid combo! So cute! Such a great idea about the hunters! I actually thought of that but wasn't sure if they would be tall enough but I ended up finding them on major sale with no tax or shipping so they were like 2$ more haha! I was pretty excited haha!

Stripes and plaid = my fave combo. Also, I've seen Hunters on sale at Costco for about $80.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great outfit! & um, what an awesome tip about the kids hunter boots vs the adult ones. I will definitely be looking into that! I will not let another rainy football season catch me off guard again!
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit! I also have that exact same shirt!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh man, I wish that I had known that about the Hunter boots kids sizes! I love the way that you mixed the patterns, but also made one of them pop with the color in the scarf. Your hat is so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteStripes with plaid is such a great combo! The boots are great too!

Yes!!!! I do the kids' shoes size secret too! Love it! Glad someone else does too ;)
ReplyDeleteMixing stripes and plaid is pretty much my favorite- looking adorable girl!
ReplyDeleteMixing stripes with plaid/leopard/floral is my favorite! Also that's amazing about the Hunters. I wish I didn't have giant feet so I could take advantage!
ReplyDeleteI love how stripes look on you and the color of the purse ties the scarf in nicely to the whole outfit. Super cute and comfy!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute look! Stripes and plaid is one of my favorite combos! Love that floppy hat!

That Hunter secret is amazing and i'm pissed cause I wear a size 10 so I totally can't participate in this screaming deal. I can't believe how warm your weather still is. Lucky duck! I still want some Hunters...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I never thought to order kids Hunter boots!! I only wear a size 6.5 so I could definitely pull this off! Maybe I'll use it as an excuse to get the red pair I've been wanting.. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! This little tip may have just helped me justify a second pair of Hunters! Thank you, friend! XO
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes!!! I did not know about the kids shoe sizes that is awesome for so many people!!! Just not me...because I am a big foot with 9.5's :(
ReplyDeletei love that you are wearing kids hunters! i totally tried to find some, but my calves are abnormally large haha plus they were super short. but if i were shorter i would be all about the kids ones! i'm trying to convince my short friend to look at kids ones, she doesn't believe me!
ReplyDeletelove the stripes - you can never go wrong with stripes :)
You seriously could not look more gorgeous! Isn't that tunic from Nordstrom the best? I'd wear mine everyday if I could. Love that you were able to finally wear some winter clothes down by you!
ReplyDeleteLove the look! I had no clue about Hunter boots...I am definitely going to remember that if I purchase another pair!
ReplyDeletelove this outfit! one of my faves. and thanks for the tip about hunters! i had no idea!!
ReplyDeleteCute outfit, love the hat :)
