Crazy simple outfit, because guess what? I happen to have crazy simple style.
And I'd like to push my comfort zone here and there in 2013, but I'm not going to spend the next year (or the year after that, or the one after that) trying to reinvent the wheel. I like simple.
Thanks for all your suggestions on my "going cable-less" post! I have an Amazon Prime student membership (have you signed up? If not, you're missing a ton of free movies/TV shows and free two-day shipping) so I bought this blu-ray player, which lets me watch Amazon Instant Video and comes with three free months of Hulu Plus and a $5 video credit. I'll let you guys know how it goes, but I'm actually sort of stoked. Weird? Seriously if it weren't for March Madness, this would be a breeze... but I've already bribed a friend with beer so I can take over his TV to watch my Jayhawks play.
I'm nothing if not resourceful. And certainly not above bribery.

Great look! Love that you're doing another 30x30! I've been out of the blogosphere for a while - sorry to hear you've had a bit of a rough time recently. 2013 will be your year though! :)

Thanks lady! 2013 is seriously awesome so far. I won $2 on a scratch off lottery ticket... that doesn't just happen any old year ;)
DeleteHi there. Happy Monday and a Good Week Ahead!! Oh and by the way I am now following you. Hope you follow me back. Thank you. As I mentioned in my previous comments during your 30 for 30 I LOVE YOUR BLOG. =)
ReplyDeleteYou look GOOD, Sam. Cargo & Plaid look great together. You look so effortlessly chic.
I featured you on my Special Sunday Post. Here it is: http://elegancepersonification.blogspot.com/2013/01/weeks-best-looks-january-6th-2013.html
Check it Out.
Thanks, Ada. =)
OMG I'm so late!! Thank you so much! :)
DeleteCrazy, simple...but crazy, perfect!!! This is one of my favorite types of outfits.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking in to going without cable myself..and haven't heard of the Amazon option!
I'm definitely going to do a post after a month or so on how it's going. If it works, we can all start ditching our cable and buying more shoes!!
DeleteSometimes the simple outfits are the best ones! I love this!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels that way!
DeleteI want that shirt so bad!!! All gone, nowhere to be found:( Why oh why didn't I buy it when I could have!?
ReplyDeleteYou look fab as always. Hope you had a nice weekend!

I got SO LUCKY and found it on eBay. It's a size too big, but when have I ever let minor things like fit stop me?! ;)
DeleteI seriously love this plaid. I want it. Now.

I love the new plaid J.Crew has out! But then again I guess I've never not loved J.Crew.
DeleteYou figured out the way to get your sports - so important!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd gosh I love this shirt. Must find one like it!
Yeah I was definitely NOT going to go without sports. It'll probably be the only reason I keep some kind of cable package around when I get a big girl job! But for now, I'll mooch :)
DeleteJayhawks? Are you a Kansan too? ROCK CHALK.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE those boots.
I AM I AM I AM! Rock chalk Jayhawk go KU!! :):)
DeleteSometimes simple is better! This outfit is too cute, top to bottom. The plaid is busy enough to not even need a ton of accessories, so that watch is the perfect touch. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you figured out the cable debacle! :)
Is it so bad that I'm so used to over-pattern-ing that this shirt looks tame to me?! Hahaha. We'll call that blogger goggles.
DeleteLove your outfit! I'm obsessed with Plaid right now, I seriously can't stop wearing it!
ReplyDeleteI looooove me some plaid. Seriously I might be Scottish or something.
DeleteI love all of this! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Your blog name made me snort Cherry Coke through my nose. Thanks for that. ;)
DeleteHahahahahahahahhahahahha I just saw your reply! I am glad I could help :)
DeleteYou are just too cute in this pic!

Bet you a dollar you can! Take me up on this bet :)
DeleteI LOVE plaid!! Love this outfit - the coat and boots are perfect. Simple outfits are the best. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I'm so glad I'm not alone! Y'all are wonderful.
DeleteYou look amazing in this outfit.
ReplyDeleteI love how rolled cuffs can always make a simple outfit look really polished. :)
ReplyDeleteI know right?! I feel so J.Crew catalogue-y ;)
DeleteSimple = fabulous! Love the outfit. Maybe I'll do the cancel cable thing after March. It would be so much easier if it weren't for basketball. And Say Yes to the Dress. LOL.

RIGHT?! Say Yes to the Dress, basketball, Property Brothers. I'll let you know how it goes :)
Deleteum, simple is 100000x better than CRAZY. plus hi, we're normal people actually wearing our clothes outside in the real world. I think you look adorable - I want that shirt!
ReplyDeleteYeah, if I ever showed up to work in a sequin maxi and a band tee I'd be fired. So until I can stay home and play dress up simple will have to do :)
DeleteYou're making me want to add a few more plaid shirts to my closet's repertoire. Love the one you're wearing!
ReplyDeleteYou can never have enough plaid my dear!
DeleteI have similar items in my closet so I *might* just be copying this outfit :)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to comment on your last post, but you must tell me how I can watch Game of Thrones without paying for cable. I mean, cable alone is already expensive enough, but to pay for cable AND the premium package when all I'm going to watch is Game of Thrones, The Soup, and Keeping up with the Kardashians (is that still on TV? we canceled cable two years ago and I don't know whats on anymore) So far for us, we've just been watching Netflix and then we wait for series to come out on DVD so we can buy the DVD set or rent it from Blockbuster. I've tried the illegal route but I couldn't figure out all the torrent stuff no matter how many times I clicked around (SO MANY 'CLICK TO DOWNLOAD' BUTTONS.) I'm pretty sure I would have gotten like 20,000 computer viruses anyway, so I'm glad it didn't work out.
I'm so scared of the illegal route! My Mac is precious to me, I'd keel over if I got a virus. I'll let you know how finding Game of Thrones goes! I'm hoping I can buy episodes on iTunes. It's like $25-30 a season, but that's better than $150 a month!
DeleteI want that shirt in my closet right now. And that jacket. And the rest of your outfit. You look adorable! Love this.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... sounds suspiciously like I feel about your entire closet ;)
DeleteLove your outfit. It is simple and cute.

Thank you girl!
DeleteLove the simpleness of this outfit. I am a sucker for any kind of plaid :)

Meeeee too my friend. Me too. Plaid buddies forever!!
DeleteGlad you got the cable situation worked out! Way to be thrifty. Loving this look, will definitely keep this in mind when I have a "I have nothing to wear" moment.
ReplyDeleteMy I have nothing to wear moments are slowly going away the more plaid I acquire! Haha
DeleteMiss you and the laughs, Sam!! Hope you are well:-)
