When I was in high school, the Limited had a collection of pleated plaid skirts that I just had to have. Blame Alicia Silverstone’s character Cher in the movie Clueless… but they were just “totally-chicly-cool.” (And yes, I even had to have platform loafers.)

Well, even though time has gone by – some, ahem… 12 years – plaid is back. And it’s everywhere.

Scarves. Blouses. Hats. Skirts. Hairbands. Belts. Leggings. Shoes.

You name the clothing item, plaid has made it’s way there! I have to say, I really love it. I think it’s a clean, classic look. Even Junior clothing is hitting it big with some really trendy Buffalo plaid tops and bottoms. Add a big, chunky belt and you’re good to go!

So my fashion advice today — embrace some PLAID. If you’ve got some sweaters lying around with some plaid, take them out. I live live live in my Navy Blue and Red Burberry scarf ALL winter… I swear people must think it’s attached to my neck. But I love the look. It can literally take any outfit and make it look chic… even a pair of black fleece pants and my Under Armour Fleece Running Jacket. I swear, it does.

Plaid trend – a definite FASHION DO.
