Can we all agree that the easiest (and perhaps quintessential) outfit of the season involves a plaid scarf? Throw a plaid scarf over, well, pretty much anything and you're good to go! As obvious as this outfit was in my closet - these colors are so harmonious together - I wouldn't have thought of it without the inspiration. After striking out so many times with these boots (I like only one out of five outfits I posted with them last year), I am happy to be loving them again in this look. Perhaps give a plaid scarf over long sleeve dress combo a try in your closet this week, too?
