Plaid seems to be a big trend, but a plaid shirt is also a closet staple. I like one that is really soft and warm but not too heavy. I’m all about looking for something that is warm for the cold but not so heavy that I melt from the heat of a hot flash. I know I talk about hot flashes a lot, but that’s my life right now! So, today’s plaid shirt fits perfectly within my requirements.
Did you know I was missing Gold Hoop Earrings from my jewelry collection. I decided to add some inexpensive ones for now from Francesca’s similar to these Earrings and These. I have a small pair in silver, but I really prefer to wear gold.

I actually found this Plaid Shirt a while back at T. J. Maxx, but it is still sold at Off 5th in my color plus a lot of other great choices. I may have to consider another one sometime! This shirt is long and covers your backside, though there is a longer split in the back at the hem. I also got mine oversized, so I could tie it in the front, layer it with a cami, and wear it with leggings. When I wear it with leggings, I will probably wear a cardigan with it because of the bottom center split. This shirt is soft, warm, and reasonably priced.
There are a lot of choices when buying a plaid shirt. There are some brands that are really pricey, but you do not have to spend a fortune if you want to add one to your closet. So, I thought I would do a save verses spend for this outfit – mainly the shirt and jeans.

Are you all ready for Christmas? I’m starting to feel the pressure for getting gifts, decorating, cleaning, and getting some cooking done! I will be seeing grandparents at my oldest son’s college graduation less than two weeks away. We will be celebrating Christmas with them then too. If you all need some gift ideas, I plan to update my gift guide in my next post. So, stay tuned!
