mad about plaid.

plaid. Okay, I am just going to put it out there and reveal my nasty little secret. I've always (and still do) have an obsession with plaid. I seriously still remember the warmth and color of my first plaid shirt, which was sneak-fully stolen from my older brothers closet...
Something about its cross-hatching lines, its infinite amount of patterns and colors and the simplicity of it all, makes me all fuzzy inside. Not to mention how ridiculously comfortable it is.When I look out the window in the morning and the weather is less than pleasing, I know my trusty plaid will carry me through the day. On the other hand if the sun is shining and the birds chirping I know I can spring out my short sleeve pieces or still wear a long sleeved one, but tied at the waist...see endless possibilities.
I know its often categorized as a "grunge" pattern and fabric, but I think if worn right: with wickedly cut jeans or a black suede mini, it simply rocks. I love to pair it with jean cut-offs (classic) and throw over a knee length, cotton khaki trench or a snug as a bug biker jacket, if I am out and about.
Its being seen on the fall runways: D & G. Just Cavalli. Preen.... so its big for fall. But to me its always been big, and I will continue to cherish it, forever and always.
SO warning: I wear it a lot and have an obsession with it. Its also weird because I don't see myself as a plaid wearing person? But alas, I love it and its here to stay.

i feel ya...i'm all about plaid, but it looks a bit masculine on me. i'm considering wearing a plaid shirt open and having a lacey dress beneath.

Plaid will never go out of style (at least not in my eyes). In the same way that leather jackets or jeans will always be cool.

Annie Spandex said...

Yup, plaid will always be cool.

Chantelle said...

Cute! I'm feeling it. =D

I bought them on Tobi, but definitely UO if not Azalea.com. I love that store to death. Check it out and you might find some amazing things to go with the cheap mondays!

Laurel said...

I absolutely adore plaid, you look so gorgeous! I must tell you that your all grey (AA raglan top and dress) is such a phenomenal look on you!

Grey and plaid? Total love!

Thanks for the sweet sweet sweet comments baby! My internship generally is a breeze...just this week has been icky. But you (my internet buddies) make me smile every time. I hope you are well, and I must tell you that I too share your love (nay, obsession) with plaid. I will be sure to post pictures of the plaid skirt I am currently working on making when I'm done with it- just for you!

You look great! I have been looking for a plaid shirt for AGES but to no avail :( I think they will be great for layering as well!

Love the blue plaid shirt here. I've always liked plaid, though I think I might be leaning more towards the lace trend for autumn!

Couture Carrie said...

I am mad for plaid, too - especially when paired with skinny jeans!
You look fabulous :)
