Checked Shirt

It seems there has been a big movement in the past 9 months towards the preppy look (or if it was 'around' before then I had my eyes shut) - cue checked shirt and jumper over the top. I first became aware of 'this look' via Michelle from My Fashionable 40s who posted on Avenue 57 (pic of her look).

 Here I am today in that 'uniform' - I love the ease and comfort of this outfit, it's not going to win any style awards but I am happy!

Here is my shortlist of checked shirts and chunky knit navy jumpers available today

 1) Matalan - £12
2) ASOS - £25
3) Mango - £34.99 - LOVE THIS
4) River Island - £25

5) Mango - £29.99
6) Topshop - £45.00
7) ASOS - £35
8) Whistles - £65 - HEAVENLY

Have you embraced 'the uniform' of many this season? I would love to see you post on Avenue 57 if have.

 Fiona

    Hi there! I love your outfit, very casual chic and a really versatile look for all seasons too! I have the fugly boots in purple suede, I too got them in the sale last year after seeing Avrils post and I also got a khaki and brown pair too! xxx

      Purple is marginally better than brown - they are so not me that I feel weird in them. Yes Avril and I bought at the same time!!!!

      I am wondering how to jazz it up/wear it in the summer! It's been sat redundant in my wardrobe for 3 years!!!

    I am going to be trying this at some point Fiona...watch this space. Avenue 57 is casualing me up in a way I never thought would happen. (Think I've invented a new word there...)

      Casualising - like that home made word! I love it that we all have room for style changes in our life :-)

    I am really getting into the mannish look, but my husband isn't so keen, keeps asking if I'm batting for the other side!!

    Absolutely love this outfit on you ... you do look really comfy and cosy. It's not a look that I plan to embrace however ... having spent 14 years of school in checked shirts, I just can't go back there again! But I do love the look on others x
