I am placing full responsibility on this red ruffled shirt for single-handedly getting me into the Christmas spirit. It also made me mad for holiday plaid. Now I just want ALL THE PLAID.
I wore this easy combination on Thanksgiving and I loved it more than I thought I would. Initially when I bought the shirt and tried it on I felt it was too stuffy. Buttoned up all the way to the top to show off the ruffles was too staid. Pairing it with my velvet skinny pants felt too much like I was skipping Thanksgiving entirely and heading straight to Santa coming down the chimney.
I decided to undo a few buttons and add some much needed sparkle with this J.Crew necklace I received as a birthday gift (SOLD OUT-similar). Pairing it with skinny ankle pants felt classic and enhanced the holiday plaid style of J.Crew Factory Plaid Ruffle Shirt Adding in basic black pumps created a longer line that made me feel elegant all day long.
