Fall Layering: Plaid and Stripes

Zara tweed leather-trim vest
Steven Alan wool plaid blazer
Uniqlo denim shirt
Rebecca Minkoff "Darcy" bag ℅ Nordstrom

Layering doesn't have to just be for warmth, but an opportunity to play with different patterns and textures. Since plaid and stripes are both strong patterns, I opted for a matching color scheme so the look isn't too loud. There photos were taken at one of my favorite new restaurants, Westward (food post coming soon). The weather was gorgeous but chilly, ideal for sitting around the outdoor fire pit with a view of the water and city skyline. How can I get a backyard with this sweet setup?
