PLAID MINI DRESS AND BOW TIGHTS

The Steele Maiden: Cute Holiday Style - Plaid Mini Dress, Bow Tights and OTK Boots

I mentioned on Instagram, but there’s a good chance that this outfit – all 90’s inspired plaid mini dress and sheer bow tights – is too young for me. But there’s an even better chance that I really don’t care. I just can’t resist a few bows at the holidays and my love for plaid mini skirts/dresses is at this point well-documented (latest example here). So who cares right? Life is short.. and in this case – so is my dress.

These cute bow tights are from Tabbi Socks (I’ve got a fun project coming up with them I’ll be sharing soon) and the velvet bow in my hair is like the cherry on top. It’s an easy way to make this otherwise simple turtleneck and plaid mini dress feel festive and fun for a holiday brunch or tree-trimming party (for the record I’d really like to be invited to one of these – they seem like a good time). And if you’re looking for another simple way to elevate your holiday looks – I shared this twisted half up hairstyle along with 2 other ideas here.

PLAID BOYFRIEND SHIRT AND SLIP-ON ANKLE BOOTS

Nordstrom Plaid Boyfriend Shirt and Fossil Leather Tassel Bag

Wait – where did the weekend go?! Adam and I were busy all over town, and then out of town, shooting a bunch of holiday content that I can’t wait to share with you all (you’ll want to tune in on November 14th). So while I didn’t do much relaxing, I did wear this relaxed outfit on Saturday afternoon which involved my softest plaid boyfriend shirt and these comfy slip-on ankle boots.

COZY FALL OUTERWEAR WITH BANANA REPUBLIC

The Steele Maiden: Fall Outerwear with Banana Republic Teddy coat and neutral turtleneck

Talk to me in 3 months and I’ll say I hate coats of any kind, but the first time I put them on each year? I love ’em. The coziness, the way you can play with layers, the mix of textures. Suddenly a sundress and sandals just seems like a distant, boring notion. So when Banana Republic gave me the chance to pick out a fresh fall outerwear combo for the season, I hit ‘add to cart’ before you can say November.

KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE: CLASSIC FALL STYLE WITH LANDS’ END

The Steele Maiden: Classic New England style with Lands' End in Kennebunkport, Maine

I’ve been itching to go to the seaside town of Kennebunkport for ages and so when I started planning our Maine road trip – I knew it had to get it’s fair share of time to explore. The town certainly didn’t disappoint. Full of classic New England charm (don’t worry, I’ve got a big travel guide coming soon!), I went with an equally classic outfit to match.

OLD NAVY CROPPED COAT AND PLEATED SKIRT

Old Navy White Cropped Coat and pleated mini skirt

I’m still getting used to this (much) blonder hair – but so far bright colors have felt a little harsh. Luckily, I’ve been in a neutral state of mind ever since New Year’s.
