Bohemian Lumberjack? The plaid and fur, more plaid and fur, etc.

Good morning dearest blogosphere! Now I've no idea what my intentions were with this particular look other than that it was freezing cold outside yesterday (hence the unflattering layering) and that I desperately need to get my hair done STAT (hence the weird headband thing which can best be described as an unsuccessful attempt at making my hair situation less bad). Regardless of what the intentions may have been behind this, it was indeed comfortable, kept me warm and didn't turn out as horribly visually as I fully expected it to, which is always a plus, no?
I've decided that I definitely need to take a trip back to Gap Kids where this delightful plaid button-down was initially found, as it seems to me that it's the best of its kind that money can buy (which is veritably awesome, because as I recall it cost about $18 at full retail price). It's truly the perfect plaid shirt in every way: the length, the weight, the colour...I could go on and on, but I'll try not to bore you to tears with my professions of love towards this shirt. Bottom line, I love it.
G and I have so much on the go right now that it's somewhat overwhelming, but rest assured that none of it is in an even remotely negative sense so, if anything, it's an overwhelming satisfaction and happiness with life, albeit a very, very busy one. One of the bits of good news I have to impart is that I have somewhere to wear my new dress tomorrow night, so you will all be seeing it very, very shortly! As for the rest...well, all in good time!

Wearing
The red plaid button-down shirt is from Gap Kids, and definitely one of the can't-live-without-it items in my closet.
The faux fur vest is vintage.
My leggings are from Aritzia, and are quite possibly the most comfortable, durable pair of leggings to ever exist.
The mukluks are mukluks, and were purchased from a leather shop on Yonge Street. As far as I know they don't have a brand, but they could potentially for all I know. Word of advice: if you live in a place where it snows and gets cold: purchase these and you will never have cold, wet feet again.

  11. Hello's
    I've always got damn cold wet feet, as I'm just far too lazy to really seek out water proof boots, haha.
    Double up the socks I say! Though your suggestion/ tip is probably a far better and sensible solution!
    Peace and Socks (?)...
