Utilitarian style in oversized plaid

skinnies: G-Star - plaid shirt: c/o Sheinside - biker boots: Clarks - satchel: & Other Stories - beanie: Ebay - watch: Zadig & Voltaire

I know some of you were mucho sad that my blue oversized plaid shirt was vintage and thus not buyable, well, this one is and it's available in red as well as in blue! I ordered mine in a size XL because I love oversized shirts. I especially like it layered over a longsleeve, very utilitarian and, most importantly, warm! I feel like I've forgotten to deal with the cold since last year's winter was like a prolonged fall/spring season, so these dipping temperatures are hitting me twice as hard as they should.

Also new in: this purse - a Christmas gift from my love. I love it: deliciously soft leather and classy but interesting enough to add something to any outfit without standing out in a negative look-at-my-bag way.

PS: I wouldn't feel right just posting this without saying something about what has happened in Paris yesterday. I've taken a step back from the blog yesterday and today because what happened is so incredibly depressing and tragic. I don't feel like I have anything useful to add to the debate, but I couldn't just ignore it without saying anything. My heart goes out to the victims, and to everyone whose position in our shared community remains a point of conflict. We need democracy, freedom of speech, tolerance and liberty for everyone. These are things worth fighting for.
