Buffalo Plaid and Herringbone Vest

I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for the perfect J Crew Herringbone vest. I mean everywhere. For months. It has been THE vest the past couple years! Unfortunately, on a teacher’s salary, I just can’t justify paying so much money for the “real deal”. So, for the past year, I’ve searched all over the world, it seems, for the perfect Herringbone vest duplicate. I came close to one at TJ Maxx, but not quite. I finally found one I love via Groopdealz, and for only around $30!

Unfortunately, by nature of the Groopdealz site, the Herringbone vest was only on a flash sale for a day or two. But if you keep your eye out on their website, checking frequently, I’m sure they will return!  I’ve also seen them pop up on Jane.com. Between these two sites, I’m sure you’ll find a Herringbone vest!

I’m loving buffalo plaid this season- I think the bold colors and pattern stand out so pretty against a white, wintery background. This shirt from Mindy Mae’s Market is perfect- it even has the cutest polka dot accents on the collar and arm cuffs for the perfect amount of pattern mixing.  Pairing this shirt and vest just felt natural- and as soon as I put this outfit on, I knew it would be making its rounds frequently this winter!

I’ve worn these red Hunter boots before on the blog, and I’m finding more and more ways to incorporate them into my everyday wardrobe.  They really have been so practical to buy (and worth the steep price tag– eek!), especially since I live in northern Utah and have snow 6 months of the year.  I almost bought the black (safe decision, right??) but last second, I was brave and bought the red! I’m so glad I did. I really love the pop of color and bright statement they make in any outfit.

Let’s talk about this coat for a sec. Again- I’m having an obsession with plaid this year. Especially red plaid of any design. Once I saw this wool pea coat I knew it had to be mine. Luckily I had Super Cash at the moment, and was able to get it for a steal of a deal. Love the red against the white snow (and lets not forget it matched my hunter boots perf).

Get this look!
