It isn’t just for lumberjacks and Catholic schoolgirls…



From the runway to the racks, cheap or chic, plaid is everywhere this fall. Don’t worry though you don’t have to alter your style to work plaid into your wardrobe, it’s already been designed to fit right in with your everyday garb! If you’re a working gal I suggest checking out Alice + Olivia’s Rosalie Shirt Dress – a perfect day to night piece, after work simply throw on a fun studded belt and a chunky necklace and happy hour here we come! What’s great about the Rosalie shirt dress is its subtle yet unique styling details such as its boat neck notched collar, asymmetrical hemline, and cinched waist for a flattering feminine fit. If your free spirit yearns for something a little less work and little more play turn to the kings of bohemian-chic…Free People! The Eternal Sun top features a soft lightweight flounce tunic with button down front, dropped empire waist, and a pocket on chest. This incredibly versatile top can be worn over shorts, denim, or leggings; you can wear it open as a layering piece or buttoned up as the central focus. Strapped for cash? Here are some simple DIY options…if you happen to have a lumberjack in the family snag one of their old over sized plaid button downs or simply pick one up at your local thrift shop and throw it on over a pair of liquid leggings with heels or combat boots. If indeed you are a retired Catholic school girl an easy way to update that old plaid blazer or button down is to replace the buttons with something fun and sparkly! You can find old vintage buttons at a thrift shop or something similar at your local fabric store.
