What NYC Recessionista Wears: Plaid and Bling

Yesterday I headed down to Nolita for the Refinery29 Tinseltown Holiday Bazaar Pop-up Shop. I wanted to look super cute of course 🙂 and festive for the holidays, but still comfy.

So, I broke out my new plaid shirt from J. Crew ($25 off with my Holiday Rewards Card!) … I seriously love the colors.


Earrings from NansGlam on Etsy / J. Crew plaid shirt (similar here and here) / Gap sweater / necklace c/o New York & Company (similar herehere and hereJ. Crew bracelet (similar) / Anthropologie bracelet (similar) / wishbone bracelet c/o Julep / bracelets c/o Ann Taylor spring 2013 / watch c/o Caravelle by Bulova / LOFT legging jeans / J. Crew boots (similar)


You may remember this necklace from the 5th day of my New York & Company $200 Work Week Challenge …. it’s a testament to how versatile a great statement necklace is when you can pair it with so many different outfits.






The sweater is a little thin — you can kinda see the buttons of my shirt — but on the plus side, it’s pretty lightweight for those days where you’re going to be inside doing some shopping and don’t want to overheat!
