Tweed Skirt

How to style a plaid shirt

Tweed is usually structured and often a little stuffy, so I was excited to find this cozy tweed skirt on sale at LOFT a few weeks ago. It has an elastic waist, so it would be perfect for Thanskgiving :), and the flippy A-line is a flattering shape. I’m 5’4″ and I’m wearing a petite L, and I will say that it’s a little shorter than I originally thought. But paired with a ruffly plaid shirt and booties, it was still a great fall work outfit.

Thanksgiving outfit ideas

We have pretty much no plans this weekend, and I’m actually really excited! Next week, we head out to my mom’s for Thanksgiving, and I can’t wait for some quality family time and a break from the city. The area where I work is right between Penn Station and Port Authority, and it’s always crazy busy. It’s also not the nicest, so finding places to shoot outfit photos is a bit of a challenge. My friend Dena and I stumbled upon this cute green doorway that we’ve probably walked by a million times. It reminded us of Sesame Street…if Sesame Street were in a different part of town!
