great minds think alike


shirt & skirt, F21. tights, marshalls. booties, nine west.

i wore this when i was not studying on friday night and instead went to dinner with the fiance at our favorite hole-in-the-wall sushi restaurant. the plaid shirt is another recent purchase from forever 21, and it has quickly become my new favorite shirt. its got that soft flannel feel and a couple of little quirks (that are hard to see in the pictures) like a detachable hood and drawstrings at the bottom hem.


shirt: old navy(boys); bandage skirt/studded belt: target; boots: tommy hilfiger

after sneaking a peek at roz's draft with her in her fabulous blue plaid flannel top, i noticed that we both wore eerily similar looks last week.. so we thought collaboration post! here's my version of the plaid shirt with black skirt and boots! i picked up this shirt a year ago in the boys section at old navy.. i ended up belting it at the waist with a skinny black studded belt for a bit more shape.. i unknowingly covered my belt with the awkward posing... sorry!

last week, the fierce femme nina tagged us to share our "11 Things", and since we're doing a joint post, this is a great opportunity for the both of us to share a little about ourselves:

    very chic and hawt, so stylish you are.
    it would really cool it that red blouse had like an unoticable belt, so it makes it more tight fitting.

    I'm loving those shirts - how funny that you post this today as I spent 20 minutes digging around in my closet looking for my fave plaid shirt to throw over my dress but couldn't find it...you've just inspired me to organize my closet so that doesn't happen again :)
