Rebecca Minkoff Archives - Just Jodi Style

Happy Thursday! Back in college the one thing that every girl wanted a Chanel quilted bag, but my mom wasn’t going to send me to college with such an expensive bag that I would potentially ruin on a night out. Instead she found something that had the same look, but more than half the cost. This Rebecca Minkoff quilted affair bag is one of my go to bags on days when it is so gross outside especially in New York City now with all of this rain that we have been having. This specific version is no longer sold in stores anymore, however they do have a smaller version on the Bloomingdales website. I have personally worn my bag during some major snow storms and some pretty terrible rain and it has held up through it all. If you are looking for a great going out bag that has the look of a classic Chanel bag Rebecca Minkoff is the place to go. All of their bags are so classic and are amazing quality. I have truly seen a great change in her designs and work in the past 5 years and I am an avid customer. When I couldn’t find this bag back in college my mom was able to find it thanks to Zappos. If you are having trouble finding any bag that seems to be sold out everywhere online check Zappos website. More than likely they have the bag or at least that is what has happened to me in the past. I paired my bag with a simple pair of black jeans and a chambray top with black loafers for an easy casual going out look. You can also pair this bag with great booties and a dress or even heels for a night out on the town. Check out Rebecca Minkoff’s website for some of their amazing bags! <3

Everyone I know has a plaid shirt in their closet that every fall / winter they wear as soon as the temperature drops. I was always skeptical of getting a plaid shirt that didn’t consist of neutral colors like black and white, but this year I was determined to find one that I loved. I kept on lusting over the Rails plaid shirts in every store I walked into, but I couldn’t bring myself to spend a great deal of money on a shirt that I wasn’t sure how many time I would wear it, but then I found it. I found this red, black and white plaid shirt at Zara and I have worn all season long! The reason why I was really drawn to this shirt was because not only did it look like the Rails shirts I was lusting over, but it one of the softest shirts I have ever owned! The other great part of this shirt is that if you wanted to roll up the sleeves and not have them fall down there is a clasp on the inside of the sleeves for you to do that. This shirt is a great top not only for those nights that the temperature drops, but it is also very stylish and doesn’t make you feel like you are underdressed. When wearing a plaid shirt there is no need to wear any other patterns, the plaid is enough. Try to keep the rest of the outfit simple, I paired it with a pair of simple black jeans. If you are still looking for a great plaid shirt I would check out Zara, H &M, and Bloomingdales. They are currently having “friends and family” sales and this is the time all of the winter themed items, such as plaid shirts, will be put on sale. Go get your favorite plaid now!
