Vintage Plaid Flannel + White Tee + High Waisted Distressed Jeans + Clog Boots = Transitional Dressing!

Pictures originally taken 2/3/2021 (playing catch up!)
Words written on Instagram on that day….
Day 4 of @TheMomEdit #TMEStyleCHallenge“Button Down as a Jacket”

I didn’t really recreate the wheel here…
😂🙈
I grabbed a vintage flannel that I thrifted over a basic tee. It’s a little tricky with plaid flannels to not look like a lumberjack, so I added some dressier clog boots.

Comfy…classic…done!

Tomorrow is-

“Workout Gear as a Real Outfit”

If there was ever a challenge that EVERYONE can get behind right now…
🤣
I just have to narrow down which one to wear!

There aren’t as many outtakes when I only takes pics of myself…mostly because I am efficient and want to just get things done!  BUT….
I don’t always plan the shutter clicks haha.

This weather feeds my outfit indecision…

I’m not saying I’m complaining about the weather lately.  That would be stupid.  It’s not raining!!  However, the freezing cold mornings, followed by total sunshine, then rapidly dropping temps again makes it hard to dress accordingly.  So…sometimes there’s a midday outfit change!

Started off wearing this…
