mad for plaid



Blazer: H&M (similar style here); Pants: H&M (similar style here); Shoes: Aldo (similar style here); Shirt: Equipment; Bag: Chanel; Sunglasses: Karen Walker; Jewelry: H&M necklace, Michael Kors watch, H&M cuff

Remember my serendipitous shopping incident that I told you about last week with this trench? Well turns out, Kim of Eat.Sleep.Wear and I were channeling the same sartorial vibes as well not too long ago. Over some pretty late night Gchat conversations preparing our already over-stuffed suitcases for New York Fashion Week, we learned that we both have this same plaid suit from H&M (which was such a steal by the way -- under $50 for both pieces!). Of course, the play-it-by-the-rules girls inside of us said "You just can't wear the suit on the same day! That's fashion sin!" 

But what did we do?

We wore it on the same day. And LOVED every minute of it!

Unfortunately, we didn't snap any photos together in our matching suits but a handful of other photographers did as we were heading in for the Tibi show. So if any of you guys see it floating around out there, please let me know! I would really appreciate it and so would Kim (who you can check out here, rocking her plaid suit as well!).

Now tell me -- do any of you own this suit? Would love to see how you styled it!

    You are really a beautiful. I like your dressing sense. You wearing a lovely paint, shirt and coat. The colour combination is so nice. I also like your watch and purse designs.
