Mad About Plaid


I've never really been a fan of red plaid clothing, because it always reminds me of the Brawny man! It usually only looks good on lumberjacks or children posing for Holiday pictures.

However, my opinion of red plaid changed after I saw this picture of Khloe Kardashian at the airport.


I love this plaid tunic paired with black leggings, fabulous Louboutin suede booties and a studded purse! Her ensemble is chic, yet casual and comfy without looking too frumpy -- which is perfect for traveling. Nothing is worse than being stuck at the airport in something that is uncomfortable.

On Monday my flight was delayed 7 hours, and I wore a horrible pair of deceptively uncomfortable flats. I was so mad at myself for wearing them, so they will be donated to Goodwill or Salvation Army this weekend!!

Anywho, back to the post...

I noticed that plaid, specifically red/black plaid, is out in full force this Fall/Winter so I'm going to take baby steps towards adding pieces to my wardrobe. I think I'll begin with a scarf or headband and then work my way up from there.

Below are some of my picks for great red plaid pieces!


Forever 21 Cape Sleeve Plaid Coat - It's the perfect price for a trendy item, and will look great with an all black ensemble.


Corey Lynn Calter Andrea Plaid Zipper Front Dress - The sweetheart neckline adds a soft touch.



Arden B. Plaid Ruffle Front Tunic - Pair this tunic with black leggings and boots, and you'll have a fun and feminie weekend look.


Rocket Dog Otto Plaid Pump - a perfect balance between conservative and sassy.
Forever 21 Crinkled Plaid Scarf - This scarf can be used during milder Winter days and in the Spring as well.


Forever 21 Ruffle Plaid Balconette Bra - so cute...along with the matching boyshorts below!

I noticed a lot of plaid when I was out shopping last weekend. It reall has to be done right to look good. All of the pieces you posted look cute but there were some awful looking plain old shapeless button ups that didn't really look like they were long enough to wear with leggings.

I love plaid!! They look so nice, but sometimes they can look bad >.<

I really like the red plaid jacket from Forever 21!! But...it doesn't look so warm. LOL @ the red plaid under garments.

Oh I love that Forever 21 jacket and the Arden B dress. It is really too cute. I recently got a purple and black plaid blouse with a few ruffles on the front and I've been wearing it with black pants to work. I like the red though, especially for this time of year.

Thanks for the travel advice!!
