Contributor posts are up next, friends! And they are awesome.

OK, so yes, from far away this dress looks like nothing special. But zoom in, friends, for there is an entire animal kingdom prancing about the hemline.

And you know I love animals on fashion.

Vic posted a peek at her uniform (which I’ve seen in person, and is quite cute, I might add), and I’ve been thinking about the idea of uniforms ever since. Perhaps it’s the upcoming trip to Alt Summit (dozens of stylish gals all in one spot!) or my impending move (a.k.a. closet clean-out!), but I’ve noticed that lately, I’ve been gravitating toward the same look, time and again:

[Plaid shirt, jeans, boots and pearls!]

Seriously. Every day last week I wore a variation of this ensemble. I’ve got five go-to plaid shirts that are in continuous rotation with my boyfriend jeans, grandmother’s boots and some serious pearl pile-age to balance all of that masculinity. And for January, it feels just right.

What are you guys wearing this month?
