One of my favorite fashion-y things is when a brand takes a piece they've already perfected and re-releases it in a new color or pattern. I mean it just makes sense: you already have the pattern, you know your customer likes it, so why not keep re-releasing familiar pieces in new colors or fabrics? I'm surprised more brands don't do this every season, but I'm happy to say Joanie just did. They took their classic Pepper shirtdress (which I have in red) and released it for autumn/winter in a cozy plaid flannel and it is a dream!
I already knew I liked this dress as I wear the red one loads and the flannel version is so soft and warm and rendered in the lovely dark colors perfect for this season. The lines of rust in the plaid pattern suit my wardrobe to a tee, so I'll be wearing it loads with my favorite tights and cozy knits. The weather is definitely calling for bundling lately as we inch every closer to winter. There's no signs of snow in our region yet, but I have my fingers crossed we'll get a least a few flurries before winter has closed its pages. To experience every season to its fullest is really my goal and it just doesn't feel like winter (despite how cold and icy it gets!) without snow...
