Dressed by (and stolen from) the internet.

When I saw EvolvingStyle’s latest WIWT I knew I had to steal it wholesale put my own spin on it.  So today I did just that.

Now, I’m no stranger to the plaid tie, or even the plaid tie/navy blazer combo.  But I really liked the bold use of red and the overtly casual “Jeans & Blazer” look is one I haven’t done in a while.  In this case, my spin got rid of the tie clip and made the pocket square a contrasting pattern/material in a complementary color scheme.  I also swapped out the shoes for work boots because we got 6 inches of snow last night.

Also of note, matching my scarf to the main color in the ensemble.  I could have gone with a navy scarf, but it’s such a nice day that seemed a little severe.  The red picks up on the PS, but with the popped collar on the blazer it gives it a slightly more “outerwear” flavor.

So that’s how you steal from bloggers you like.  Just make sure to cite your sources.
