OOTD (Gone Fishing!)

So I mentionned that last Saturday I bought the perfect shirt in candy plaid in the green colorway, that appears top be currently sold-out on the website. I have waited for this shirt to go on sale since it came out, so I bough it at the first markdown (less 20% off).

This shirt really reminds me of a "camping" or "fishing" shirt and it is one of those things that I probably wouldn't have even noticed at another retailer. But since it is Jcrew, the fit, the softness of the cotton and the design made it a must-have for me. Call it Crewlade if you want.

I have to say that this shirt in this colorway is tough to pair, there are only so many colors that goes with it and they are not the more usual ones (basically what they call seaweed green, light pink/blush, clay/brick, citron yellow and light khaki). The other colorway is easier to pair because it goes well with navy and looks great under a navy blazer, so keep it in mind if you have to choose one or another.
I broke it out this morning, pairing it with my green (pardon me, vintage taupe) JBrand cargos and a blush cashmere cardigan from last spring:

I also tried it with the Mackenzie blazer from last year, for a more polished look and it worked too (but I would wear another pair of pants):

The sun outside fooled me a little bit. I thought it was much warmer than it really was and I regretted not wearing my puffer instead of my Gap twill jacket (one of the best jackets ever made by the Gap IMO). I liked the "country" look, but I admit I was freezing like this at the playground:

Later in the season I plan to wear it with white bermudas or denim shorts. By the way for some reasons, this shirts reminds me of the SATC episode in season 4 when Carrie and Aidan go spend the weekend in Aidan's country cabin (and then Mr. Big shows up). I don't remember if she actually wore something similar in the episode, but she definitively could have worn this shirt with a pair of super-short shorts!

Have a great weekend!
