clad in plaid

Hey, everybody! I'm back today with, drum roll please... more plaid! I am accumulating quite a few blog posts featuring plaid outfit options; should I change my blog name to "Poised & Preppy (in Plaid)?" All jokes aside, my obsession with button-ups is often too much for most people to handle, so I hope you all can bear with me ;)! 

The plaid on this flannel top is actually the same as on the plaid pants I wore for an outfit post a few weeks back. Lands End has basically captured my heart with this multicolored, zesty take on a classic pattern. Also, adding a mini monogram like I did is a great way to incorporate another special detail that will personalize your look. 

I don't know about you all, but when the holiday season begins to roll around, my ability to get work done plummets. Being constantly surrounded by colorful decorations, yummy food, and holiday cheer can be so distracting, and I find myself more concerned with what to get my friends for Christmas than my academic and familial obligations. And every year, without fail, my mom reminds me that life will not slow down during the holiday season just for me! 

Am I the only one that becomes a little too enamored with spirit of the holidays? Let me know in the comments how you remain focused on your responsibilities and goals to make it through the holidays in one piece!
