I’ve talked before about some of the bizarre things that happen once you have been blogging for awhile…
THE STORY
…For example, you’re just mindlessly scrolling through Pinterest and an image of yourself pops up. Or try googling your name and hitting the images tab and there are hundreds of images of you. Things like that just amuse me, but then again, I’m easily amused.
The other night I was doing some research for an upcoming post and I was googling images of various characters and their outfits. At one point I googled “Sheldon plaid suit”. Go do that now…hit images and scroll down a bit. Actually I’ll make it easy for you…here’s the link. I literally spit coffee and busted a belly laugh out loud. My daughter thought that I’d lost my mind, but when I showed her she couldn’t hold back the belly laugh either. I immediately texted my son and my besties and told them to do the same thing because I could not even with it.
I always refer to this as my Sheldon suit because it really does resemble the suits that Sheldon sometimes wears on The Big Bang Theory. Who knew that would lead to me just chillin’ with Sheldon. Me and Sheldon just hangin’ out in our cool plaid suits. Okay, maybe it’s only on Google and in my mind, but still…
THE OUTFIT
Generally speaking, few things are less me than a suit. I prefer to live life in the more casual laid back lane. However, if the suit is a not so subtle plaid and paired with a graphic tee and a fabulous pair of kicks then I’m in. I haven’t worn this suit often, but when I have it has inevitably been styled in a similar manner.
The nice thing about a suit though, is it can worn in pieces. I’ve paired the pants with a sweater and boots, as well as with a floral bomber jacket. I’ve also worn the blazer with jeans on a number of occasions.
The reason that I bought this suit in the first place was the bold plaid print. At first glance, one might think that all of this plaid in one place is too much to handle, but it really isn’t. Like most things, if you love something and rock it with confidence; as in, really own it when you wear it, you can’t avoid looking anything but fabulous.
THE TIP
A suit can truly go either way; classic and business-like or casual and cool. This suit has the added bonus of the plaid print which also gives it a funky edge as well. Like most things, the vibe a suit will give off is dependent upon the add-on’s. Go with pumps and a button down or turtleneck and a suit will feel classic and put together. But add a fabulous pair of sneakers and a tee shirt and now you’ve got an entirely different ballgame.
