The Rundown:
7 + 10 + 17+ 27
Urban Outfitters double-finger ring - 2010 - birthday gift (here)
Random chain necklaces - collected over the years from who knows where (I don't!)
I know I'm posting this late, but this was my Casual Friday outfit. Is it sad that I didn't realize I'd worn three of these items together already in my remix until I was writing this post? I am really struggling with this challenge, partially because of the weather and my intense unhappiness with the early nightfall, but mostly because of my own poor choices. This is why I do a lot a projects myself--I have no one else to blame but me. And I don't like blaming myself, so I just brush it off. Came up with a list of 20 more outfits this afternoon, some more adventurous than others...we'll see how well I stick to my planned combos (judging from last time I did the 30 for 30--not very well). Cross your fingers for me, okay?
What worked:
I love this cozy flannel shirt...it's yellow, it has zippers, and it has cool black snap buttons (on the sleeves, too). I played up the tough look of the shirt with a handful of chain necklaces and my double-finger ring.
The white shirt underneath was for warmth and to layer some sleeve action. Dani from No Guilt Fashion and I apparently had the same idea on the same day (and we're not the first, it was probably some lumberjack in the prairie days). Check out her long-sleeve under a flannel outfit here.
What didn't:
It's hard to tell from the pics but the buttons are a bit strained in the bust. I think this shirt shrunk. Oh well. I still love it. Flannel makes winter so much more bearable.
What is your favorite cozy winter fabric?
Thanks for the mention. I think I like your shirt better. Love the yellow and black.

you look more redwoods than redneck. adorable. pinch those pendleton cheeks, cute.
ReplyDeletei love plaid, and have a awkward appreciation for buffalo plaid. really brings out the dyke in my haircut. so i don't wear it much. not growing the haircut anytime soon.
That shirt is really cute! Not lumberjack at all!!
ReplyDeleteWhile yellow isn't my thing, I love the style of that shirt. The zippers, snaps, & cut really update it from 'lumberjack' :-)
ReplyDeleteFor me, winter means sweaters 24/7. I ended up wearing sweaters to work all last week (finally getting cool in Silicon Valley!).
Flannel is fabulous!! I love that shirt. The plaid, the color, the style....everything about it is great!!
ReplyDeleteYou might feel like you are struggling, but you don't look it. Another cute and creative outfit.

This color is great on you! I love the colored plaid and the boots are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for plaid. Flannel is so comfy, you can't beat it!
ReplyDeletelove that shirt. I have been trying to find a good flannel/plaid looking shirt, but no luck yet. This outfit is great!
ReplyDeleteI love the shirt! It's like a modern remake of lumberjack!
ReplyDeletelol! i love the last pic. that's the angel i know! :P
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. Looks like I'm not the only flannel junkie (flannel sheets are the best, too...mmm bed).
ReplyDelete@ Trystan - I wish I had more warm sweaters! Most of mine are thinner and nice for layering, but not super warm. Definitely not great for California winters :P
FLANNEL SHIRTS ALWAYS WORK
ReplyDeleteyou look great with your lumberjack wear. i love it.
I'm thinking I need to put a zipper in one of my flannel shirts! I love that look
ReplyDelete@ woodycakes - so true!
ReplyDelete@ grace - that sounds like a great DIY!
