Date Night with frosty temps

November 24, 2013

Last night DH and I went to see a comedian in concert. Of course it was a fun hilarious time. This is what I wore including my Lands End in Squall coat to protect against the windchill.  I was definitely warm stylish and comfy:

  • Old Navy Flannel Shirt
  • Old Navy Long Sleeve tee 
  • Aqua bubble necklace 
  • Old Navy boot cut jeans and green skinny belt
  • Miz Mooz Stacy tall boot in whiskey.
My outfit was inspired by an amalgam of all the pins I made fore fall. I can't say any one was the exact inspiration.

 I had a funny flashback to the early 80's as I stood in the mirror. All I needed was a wind-resistant crease down the front of my straight leg jeans and lots of ruffles down the front and of my plaid blouse -- this is very similar to an outfit I wore then!

Happy Sunday. Thanks for looking.

    Aww, you look so nice in plaid! Love the pop of colour with the necklace and the belt (AND MATCHING NAILS!)

    Hope you guys had fun :3

  • Karie replied 10 years ago

    You look fantastic - I love the green plaid and how you've matched it with your belt.

  • Hestonian replied 10 years ago

    Those colors look amazing on you. It's a great look, from head to toe.

    love the totally modern 80's vibe this sends to me!! you are rocking the blue/green this week!!

  • Diana replied 10 years ago

    OMG I want a teal plaid flannel shirt!!!!  Old Navy, you say?  Please tell me it is current season!

    You look great!  The colors are so fab on you.  Hope you had fun last night.

  • Day Vies replied 10 years ago

    Yes Diana it is from the current season  -- though I did buy it 2 months ago it was early fall. I just searched and they still have it here in petite, regular and tall sizes.

  • cheryle (Dianthus) replied 10 years ago

    Wow.  Those blue/greens should be your signature colors.  Fabulous on you. 

  • Diana replied 10 years ago

    Awesome!  How is the sizing compared to, say, Gap or BR?  I haven't bought anything from ON in ages... 

  • Marmee replied 10 years ago

    You are the queen of blue and green, and I love how you've rolled the t at the sleeves.  Looks fab!

  • Day Vies replied 10 years ago

    The sizing for old navy shirts are pretty true to size. I wear a PXL which is a 16-18P on top and the sizing is spot on. I also have petite size 16 shirts from Talbot's and Lands End and the sizing is comparable.  I can't get a proper fit in ON standard shirt sizes at all -- which is why I'm glad they provide petite sizing online.

    BTW  BR & GAP only offer petites sizing in shirts up to size 14 so I can't really compare.

    Super fun for what you were doing that night. Hells bells those jeans look fantastic on you. I love a bootcut on you!

  • JAileen replied 10 years ago

    Cute outfit - I love plaid, and you look great!

  • Diana replied 10 years ago

    Thanks, DV!  I just ordered it.  I'm always on the lookout for flannel shirts in non-lumberjacky colors, and bonus this one is my favorite color.  Regular length was available only in M, so I hope it's true to size.

  • Day Vies replied 10 years ago

    Diana -- I hope it works out for you. I know what you mean about lumberjack colors :-D!

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    Wow, another hit! Love this colour on you. It's just so much fun. 

  • Aubergine replied 10 years ago

    Love the contrast of the girly necklace with the flannel shirt!

  • Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago

    More colour love - beautiful :)

  • Deborah replied 10 years ago

    Wonderful look and such fab colours on you :)

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    Love the color in plaid, and I'm so glad you got out for some fun in this insanely cold weather!  Clever layering for the weather, too!

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    Fantastic outfit. You look amazing in bootcut jeans.

I am fascinated with the process of getting dressed every day -- to me this is more challenging than getting dressed for a big event because what I wear is dictated by my activities, work environment, and the weather. Living in a climate that guarantees four seasons (or at least two extremes) provides both challenges and inspiration.
