This post was sponsored by Target but all opinions are our own. For our first official look book post of fall, it seemed more than appropriate for us to bring the plaid out. While we both have differing facets to our personal style, we do both tend to incorporate classic fashions, especially when layers are appropriate. And when layers are appropriate, why not go with the classic yet sometimes rebellious plaid? With the cooler weather rapidly approaching, plaid not only makes us feel cozy but is oh-so-stylish at the same time. When we pulled out our favorite fall staples, our plaid pieces were worn out. Needless to say, we were excited when we heard that Target was collaborating with Adam Lippes and doing a storewide plaid campaign. From the plaid Frederik Fekkai hair care kit to this versatile red & black plaid poncho, there is something for everyone.
While first browsing the collection after it launched at the end of September, we got so many Ralph Lauren vibes. Adam Lippes started with Polo in the 90s before working for Oscar de la Renta, so it was no surprise the quality and style of this collection is timeless yet bold. Reb scooped this must-have Adam Lippes for Target shirt dress in painterly plaid and has worn it a number ways since. When we stepped out to the new Quirk Hotel in Richmond, she paired it unexpectedly (but perfectly) with plaid flannel lined boyfriend jeans for a refined yet tomboy look. Some say contrasting plaids are not to be worn together and we say bring on the duality. As for this shirt dress, whether you want to play by the rules and wear it buttoned up or wear it open like Reb did here – this Adam Lippes plaid piece is good for any day of the week.
