Mad for Plaid

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

Plaid is on heavy rotation at this point and I love it.  I am wearing my J. Crew plaid pants from last year, but this year’s Martie Pant in Stewart Plaid are more comfortable and slightly more fitted.  I styled them with my new favorite tuxedo inspired t-shirt that I wore last week in Basic Black.  It is a sign of a good purchase when I not only immediately wear it, but style it multiple ways right away.  The top also comes in navy.  I am definitely mad for plaid and added my favorite plaid flats, plaid pouch, Ryan sunglasses and cashmere cardigan – all from J. Crew.

Basic Black

Published on by thenavyleopard2 Comments

I almost never wear black.  I lived in San Francisco for nine years after college and wore it quite a bit.  When I moved to New York I was determined not to be an all black cliche, so I embraced color.  This tuxedo inspired long sleeve t-shirt  comes in navy as well, but I decided to go with a non-basic (for me) and go for the black.  I styled it with my lace pants, glitter heels, blue velvet clutch, Ryan Sunglasses and an Hermes scarf for my son’s school holiday program.

Reindeer Games

Published on by thenavyleopard2 Comments

I love that this holiday tee is in my favorite navy blue.  The navy lace reindeer are the perfect subtle festive pop that I could picture still wearing in January.  I styled the t-shirt with my go-to J. Crew Black Watch Blazer, blue velvet clutch, glitter heels and AG Middi Denim.  It was the perfect outfit for an afternoon performance of the Nutcracker with my son.  It was our fourth annual and a tradition we both enjoy.

London Calling

Published on by thenavyleopard3 Comments

I have had London on my mind since I got this t-shirt.  We may even skip a tropical Spring Break this year and head to London.  My first trip abroad was to London in High School.  The dollar and the pound were close to even, the weather was warm for February and it was a great trip.  My six  year old is very excited about the prospect, so we will see…

In the meantime, the J. Crew destination art t-shirts are fun to style and the London version is no exception.  I have previously styled the New York version in New York State of Mind and New York on the Vineyard, as well as the Paris version in I’ll take Paris and the Vineyard and Cheers to the long weekend!.

I made this one festive with my plaid shoes from last year and a plaid pouch from this year.

Tulle Tide Carols

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

A pop of tulle is so fun!  I love the sleeves on this tulle cuffed stripe t-shirt. They give it a little dressy holiday elegance.  I styled the top with my J. Crew black watch pants from last  year (this year’s Maddie plaid pants look even better and they have a bit of stretch), my glitter heels, blue velvet clutch, Ryan Sunglasses, and a Lulu Frost for J. Crew necklace (my first ever J. Crew necklace purchase from a few years ago!).

Mani Monday – Mad for Plaid Edition

Published on by thenavyleopard1 Comment

It is no secret that I am mad for plaid.  My first nail art was a plaid nail like this one with red nails a year ago.  I have been hooked on nail art every since.  My love of plaid is shown in It’s time for Plaid! , Plaid and Leopard, Pink and Plaid, Black Watch, Stripes, Sequins and Lace, Matchy Matchy , Beam Me Up , and Plaid Tidings.  In case you clicked on any of the items (like the amazing plaid shoes) and received a a sold out notification, several items come back in stock a few times.  It is worth a second try.

 

The color is“Rouge Red” by CND Vinylux.  The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

Happy Monday!
