WIW: another orphan :)

A few semi-orphans survived my purge this weekend - because they met my criteria for what I was willing to keep.  This is one of them - teal and plaid.

Now that I wear it, I'm less sure.  The sleeves have little tiny puffs, and I don't like that.  I think this is at best a placeholder for a better teal plaid shirt :)

Anyway, I feel pretty okay in it with white jeans today. It feels just sharp enough to be a teensy bit festive, which I wanted, since it's my birthday.  (Mini celebrations will be going on here and there for a few weeks - but nothing big.  Tonight, dessert with my kids and parents is planned)

What do you think - suggestions for improvement?  I haven't decided yet whether to change before taking my kids to boy scouts tonight.

    Ooooh happy birthday Amy!! I like the sound of the extended (mini) celebrations, excellent plan if you ask me ;-)

    And I also like the teal plaid with white jeans and brown accessories combo. On to a non-puff shirt version it is.

    Enjoy that dessert and I hope the kids and hubs will be spoiling you all day!

    How about with your red jeans too, isn't teal and red one of your color combinations? Happy Birthday!

    Happy happy birthday, Amy!

    I think this plaid shirt is a good placeholder, and you need to find one, because it is great on you!

    Happy birthday!  So, I don;t see the tiny puffs, but you are not happy with it, so you might not wear it.

    As such, it should most assuredly be a place holder as this outfit look terrific!

    Happy Birthday!  I don't see the puffs either but think this looks really nice on you.  Great color.  Enjoy your mini celebrations!

    The puffs really don't show - which is why I'll keep this while I watch for a replacement.  Obvious puffs bother me so much that I can't keep them around :)

    And thank you!  I'm looking forward to several mini birthday celebrations - I'm sure you'll all be seeing/hearing a lot about them in the next few weeks...

    Happy Birthday Amy!  I am sure your kids will make sure you have a festive birthday month! You wear plaid so well--the quest is on!

    Happy birthday! I like this shirt, I think it looks great on you. And I can see it going with summer shorts too.

    Happy Birthday! I do not see puff in the shirt. Are they in the fabric? This is a good color for you.

    Happy Birthday Amy - hope you have some wonderful desserts!
    I like the plaid shirt and do not see any puffs.

    Don't know how I missed this post yesterday. I wonder if a semi-tuck would work? Or maybe that's not a thing with woven button-downs. I agree, this top's a placeholder. Hope you can find the ideal teal plaid soon!
