WIWW: Plaid on plaid on plaid

It never rains but it pours, right? No posts for ages and then I'm all over the forum. 

I just got these Angie recommended check pants and couldn't resist. These are the petites because it was the only size available. I didn't have high hopes, but I think they work okay! They are comfy, anyway. 

Dare I wear plaid on plaid on plaid?

    Yes! Triple plaid! Trifecta! I think your plaids look stunning on you, especially your stompy boots.

    Another great outfit! But come on, only three plaids? I bet you have a plaid shirt somewhere... :)

  • Joy replied 4 years ago

    Yes! It looks very modern.

  • Angie replied 4 years ago

    If you think the rise on those petite pants is long enough.......

    KILLER Plaid Cubed! I love it :)

    You are looking sooooo good, sister.

    Suz, in my eye, once again that red is stealing the show, even from this great outfit - it just looks SO good on you!

    Cooler than a Fonzie Iceberg.

    Angie, I am debating, but honestly, it's about the same as on the regulars in navy.

    (In Canada, these pants are not available in short. I ordered the red and blue in regular and if I keep, I will have to hem them. I ordered these in the petite because there were none in my size left in regular.)

    I know it looks a bit short in one of the photos but IRL it doesn't pull or anything (MY WORST!! And something I know well from the old days of high rises, which were rarely high enough for me!)

    Rise looks short to me too - or pulling somehow -  and I wasn't going to say anything until I saw Angie's comment. 

    That said - the pattern mixing is GREAT and works perfectly. Nicely done. And that red top absolutely makes the outfit - good score on that one.   No other size available in the pants? As in a size up ?

  • Suz replied 4 years ago

    No size up, alas, and no regular size...weird -- it feels okay, but I see the issue. Hmmm. 

  • Bijou replied 4 years ago

    Triple plaid looks fab on you. I love this pattern mixing and those Paul Green boots are winners.

    Fun outfit! Red plaid goodness! I didn’t notice the rise on the pants until it was pointed out, so if it’s comfy I’d say keep.

  • nemosmom replied 4 years ago

    SO GREAT! Keep the posts coming! It's great to see you again :)

  • Cardiff girl replied 4 years ago

    You look perfect in plaid so why not times it by three!

  • Sara L. replied 4 years ago

    Wow! This is a great outfit! All the plaids look fabulous together.

  • Jaime replied 4 years ago

    I think as the waist gives a bit the pants might fall a bit, if that makes sense. The mix is fab!

  • rachylou replied 4 years ago

    Kewl Girl stuff here :D

  • Roxanna replied 4 years ago

    I bought the same pants in petite because they were sold out of regular. I also didn't have high hopes but I like them on me and I found the rise high enough. I sized up about 2 sizes from my regular size because I find Banans petites to be smaller all over. But I might return because I have a similar pair of theory pants I love more...

    I think they are lovely-and if any issues with the rise- they could be quoted for a good/high-end JFE- love the styling as a plaid on cube-super wowy color scheme, and the BOOTS!:-) 

  • smittie replied 4 years ago

    This is SO good! Will you be my stylist? This outfit deserves to be on the cover of a magazine!
    I love the different scales of the plaids and the touch of mustard.
    Very well done!

  • Style Fan replied 4 years ago

    Love plaid x3.  Those boots are TDF.  

  • Elizabeth P replied 4 years ago

    Well, gotta admit it's a bit too much for me, however, you sure manage to pull it off!  The boots with the jacket are awesome.

  • kellygirl replied 4 years ago

    More love for the plaid on plaid! You look better than ever Suz! SO pretty and I love the new pants silhouette on you!
