I don’t know about you, but my instagram and blog feeds have been filled with classic gray plaid blazers lately and it kind of makes my heart sing. I have more than a couple in my collection, but this vintage Ungaro one has to be my favorite. I wore this to the Atlantic’s Washington Ideas conference last month, which was such an incredible experience. As a native of the DC metro area, it was pretty unreal to see so many icons speak in one place – Madeleine Albright, Nancy Pelosi, Jeff Flake, and Milk Bar founder Christina Tosi, just to name a few. When I started my blog over 9 years ago, I always knew I wanted to incorporate DC culture with style, so to be able to attend an event like this reminds me why I started this blog in the first place. You can watch full recordings of all of the talks from the conference here.
But back to the plaid blazer – if you don’t have one yet, there’s never been a better time to scoop one up as there are loads of affordable options to choose from (this little steal being one of them). I’ve linked a few more options below!

Looks like I need to get some cropped boot cut jeans to wear with my taller ankle boots 😉
And I love the plaid blazer, I don’t have a gray one but I have a sort of plaid blazer, its a larger scale one.
Sounds like a pretty cool conference too the last time I listened to cool people speaking was like 3 years ago when I saw Eva Chen & Karlie Kloss at Coach, haha

I’ve been loving all the tartan blazers around too although it makes me feel bad for getting rid of a few of mine a couple years back, haha! I love the yellow piping on yours, it’s such a fun feature and yellow and grey look great together! 🙂
Hope you are having a lovely weekend! We are getting our family Santa photo done tomorrow, gotta get a move on with my Christmas cards, haha! 🙂

The grey plaid blazer is super popular right now. I can see why since it’s classic and flattering on everyone. But I love the extra detail on yours with the yellow piping. Haven’t seen one like this before!
