OOTD: How to Style Plaid

There's a running joke between my friends and I lately, because I keep wearing Fall fashions, trying to will Winter to come. 

And then I just sweat my ass off. 

I wore this to brunch this weekend, and promptly changed the minute I got home again.

When will the cool weather come? 

Plaid is everywhere this season.  It's popping up on everything from shoes and skirts to bags , dresses and hair bows.   Lately, I've seen a lot of girls reverting back to the 90's grunge era, when they style their plaid shirts by tying them around their waists.  I like a more feminine feel in my plaid outfit.  I'm going to style this shirt again with a mini leather skirt that I recently got from H&M, but for today's look, I kept it completely basic: black jeans, black ballet flats and some cool jewelry.
These Hudson Collin jeans are my new faves.  They've taken the place of my AG Slim Cigarette skinnies.  Both brands are great, but I'm now partial to the Hudson's, probably because they're the newest thing in my closet.
