Mamanista Friday: Plaid

I have been seeing that Plaid is the new fall trend.  I have always liked plaid, but don't really own any now.  So I guess ya'll know what's on my next shopping trip list!! 

This challenge was a bit harder for me, but I did find some plaid to rock today.  This plaid look is courtesy of my amazing supervisor Louis!

Everyone is rocking plaid, especially shirts.  They are so versatile and can be worn with just about any type of bottom

OOTD: 6th and Lane

It was a drabby weekend in Atlanta, but I still managed to get cute and out of the house.  When I first heard the 6th and Lane collection was coming to Lane Bryant, I was excited due to the quality and sophistication of the line.  So of course, I had to get me a few pieces!
