Trends We Love: Mad For Plaid!
Posted by Lindsay on Friday Sep 18, 2009One of the biggest upcoming trends for Fall, is plaid! As we have mentioned before, this is a really fun trend that is super easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. Whether you want to go full out or just add a pop of plaid, its a fun way to bring some of the Upper East Side school-girl to your look.
With Gossip Girl returning, I have been feeling the itch for some plaid in my closet. Although our favorite high school socialites are no longer gracing the halls of Constance and most likely, we will not be seeing much of the traditional plaid uniforms, I believe the Gossip Girl look is still going strong if Anna Sui’s collection for Target is any clue.
Personally, I’m not a fan of the flannel lumber-jack variety of plaid that has been found everywhere for a few seasons. However, I realize a lot people like this look, but I like things that are a bit more feminine. I generally gravitate to the exact school-girl plaid that my sister, like our favorite Gossip Girls, wore to Catholic school everyday.
Some of my favorite picks for incorporating plaid into your wardrobe:
Forever 21 Silk Plaid Slip Dress
Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Plaid Tee
Harajuku Lovers Airlie Pump in Blue Plaid
Victoria’s Secret VIA Double Breasted Wool Coat
Delia’s Rocket Dog Memories Plaid Flat
Betsey Johnson Kottes Heel in Red Tartan Plaid
Pair any of these fresh items with a preppy boyfriend blazer, a sweet cardi, colorful tights, and/or a headband, and you are sure to be on-trend for fall – as well as sporting one of my all-time favorite looks!
We love shoes and we love blogging about them!

I love this post. Yesterday, I wore my multi-colored, plaid, dress shirt dress. It was a crowd pleaser! teehee!

Omygosh, I love the plaid shoes. The Betsey Johnson Plaid is insanely ah-mazing. The blue plaid high heels are also fabulous. I can see them going with a lot of things in a wardrobe. I found another pair of plaid high heels, too. They are just as great as the two i mentioned above. They are black and white plaid with a tiny touch of red and a big black satin bow. They too, like the Betsey Johnson shoe, have a peep toe. You can check them out at http://Your-Shoe-Store.com–they offer free shipping and are under $40.00. So I’d say I’m a real winner today with finding three pairs of great plaid shoes. Really enjoyed the article. Thank you.
