I don’t know about you, but to me, nothing screams “THE HOLIDAYS!” more than a good plaid, buffalo check or flannel piece. As soon as the temps drop, I’m always drawn to cozy, festive pieces to wear by the fire, like this buffalo check shirt! It’s one of my favorite things to do at home during the holidays – snuggle up with a mug of cider (or glass of wine) and just hang out with my family. Not to brag, but my stepdad makes a mean fire! It’s definitely a focal point at our house and the center of all social activity when our family gets together. Whether you’re dressing down for an easy weekend at the ranch or need something festive to dress up your holiday party outfit, a plaid shirt is a winter staple that everyone should own. I love this one because of the festive pop of red and the relaxed boyfriend fit.
This is the first time I’ve styled the shirt-tied-around-the-waist look, but I’ve got to say I’m a fan. It cinches in your waist with absolutely no effort. Yes, puh-lease. PLUS, it’s a fun way to layer and add a bit of depth to your look, don’t you think? Which look is your favorite? Shop more amazing plaid looks over at OldNavy.com.

Old Navy has had some really great stuff this season! A good buffalo check is a closet necessity. I swear I have worn mine about 23 different ways.

Love how your riding boots have just a tiny heel on them – for a girl who needs a little added height, that would be perfect. Thanks for sharing the link! :) Xo, Alison

OMG I love how creative you were with the second look! Gorgeous!!!!!! I would never think a plaid shirt would look so good tied around the waist on a dressed up look!
I love how you pair the plaid for two different looks. FAB!

I’d wear both of these in a heartbeat! I love how you paired the skirt with the plaid – p.s. I wore a midi with plaid yesterday.. this has happened twice now, ha!
I absolutely adore how you styled these!
