When I first heard that "plaid!" is hot again, I had to laugh...living in the North East, we tend to already have a lot of plaid in our closets. Between my husband's favorite ski weekend flannels to my daughters' school uniform kilts, we're already surrounded in plaid prints over here. But, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this is the
exact kind of trend I can get behind. While you won't catch me in a crop top or overalls, the more subtle trends like plaid (or
leopard for that matter) are far easier for someone
a bit older like me to distill, someone that wants to look current and of the moment and yet still classic at the same time. And, sure enough, once I started to look around, I found a lot of stylish plaid options out there... like these
plaid Theory pants, (which I've literally just ordered) these cute smoking
slippers from Joie, a fun
plaid coat from Madewell and this really cute
tunic. And it seems, as these things often happen, that every store I look in has some really cute plaid pieces out now. So, I can't resist...are you mad for plaid too?

A few other plaid items that I've got my eye on:
I adore plaid and have always!! It's a classic for me....I wear it every fall. I love that first image....that sweater!! I love the pants you ordered! You will wear them so much!!
ReplyDeleteSue I wore so much plaid in my school uniforms; I don't know if I want to go there again!

I rocked the plaid minies from the 90's and the thigh highs. Remember the whole clueless thing? I'm opening up to it more and more.
ReplyDeleteI always loved plaid!!! Have to laugh that a couple of years ago, a friend and I threw a "mad for plaid" party and I couldn't find a single thing plaid to wear to the luncheon. This is the year to have that party...I'd have my pick!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great day!
