Hey friends!! I’m so thrilled you loved yesterday’s Sugarplum Favorite Things! I loved how many of you now call those things favorites, too. My goal is always to be a resource for you, and you can count on me to tell it to you straight!
Now let’s get to today’s post, which is all kinds of preppy fun! Whether you’re thinking about Thanksgiving or Christmas, the holidays are upon us! Also known as plaid season! Tartan plaid is the quintessential pattern for holiday, and I couldn’t love it more.
I love the preppy meets festive vibe, and especially the bright colors. Talbots has become a go-to place for some of the cutest preppy styles, and their tartan plaid is on point this season!
And even better… it’s all 40% in Talbots’ special sale event! Yep, the entire site is 40% off until 11/25! Today I’m sharing two fun ways to wear the fun pattern this season!
Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater | Puffer Vest | Dark Wash Jeans | Similar Loafers | Similar Bracelets
You know I have a thing for puffer vests, and this one is so stinking cute… it can be worn sporty, preppy, and even a little dressy. I paired it with a gorgeous cashmere sweater for a festive combo.
This plaid is shades of navy, green, and red, so it looks great with a range of colors. Loafers make it a little dressier, but sneakers would be cute, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS sweater and vest.

The vest isn’t overly bulky, and has a feminine cut to the waist and collar.

These jeans are so comfortable, in a mid-weight denim and lots of stretch. The pockets are perfectly placed for optimal lift on the backside, too.
This dark rinse is great for elevating your denim looks, and the ankle length perfect for flats, loafers, sneakers, or heels!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a petite for shorter length… with Talbots, the regular sizes are true, but I go up one in petite. These are 4p.

For a second look, I swapped the jeans for wool pants, and added the cutest plaid flats I’ve ever seen!

I mean, hello!? So cute, right? The plaid is beautiful with a chic velvet bow and gold trim on the heel. Wear them with everything from jeans to trousers to skirts. And this print will never go out of style, so you’ll have them for years.
Fit Tip: Shoes are really comfortable and true to size. And 40% off!
