Plaid Poppy!

I've mentioned it before that I try (as much as possible) to refrain from going all Christmas-y until after Remembrance Day. I think today's look is a good compromise! I'm wearing a poppy brooch and a bright red plaid skirt. The brooch is in line with the mood of the day while the plaid is me itching to jump into the festive spirit! I added a sombre black top, but it also has fun ruffles. Today's look is all about balance. I want to pay respect to those who serve and have served in the Armed Forces, but I also have cheerful elements in my look. The big boots and sweater are because it's cold and snowing. This is Canada after all! A special shout out and thank you to my family and friends who serve in the Armed Forces.
