Sequins and Sea Breezes: Stripes + Plaid

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! :)

  3. I definitely didn't know the Hunter boots secret!
    I'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!

  16. One 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

  17. 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!

  29. I 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.. ;)

  32. i 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!
