JUST PLAIN MAD ABOUT PLAID
My other half is of half Scottish descent. His family tartan is worn with great pride. It's nice to have that history and lineage to a Clan from hundreds of years ago. Today tartans and plaid fashions are as trendy as ever. Whether you live in the Far East, or in North America or parts in between, plaid is here to stay. They are worn, held or even grounds a living room vignette.

A Preppy Look
What is preppy? Short for the word 'preparatory' it refers to students who attend university-preparatory schools. Originating in the 1950s, they are characterized by fashion, speech and mannerism sub-culture. Often trying to be young adults, their fashion style has been poked fun at by being too conservative and snobbish.
I personally love the preppy look. It is indeed conservative, but it is also classic and timeless when worn properly. This corduroy dress from Mystique Vintage has such a wonderful A-line cut and attached belt. Corduroy, argyle, wools and plaids are a traditional preppy fabric, often borrowing from the Brits. Well, the Brits knew a little something about classic lines and this 1950s dress with a pair of red pumps or equestrian boots would be just perfect thank you. Available for $89.

Mad for Plaid - Seriously!
So how much plaid can YOU handle? I love plaids, tweeds and anything that reminds me of an English, lavender scented countryside. Throw in a warm brandy and a fireplace and there is no turning back for me.
But when I came across this photo, I laughed. Clearly an advertisement, but sometimes there is just overkill and your eyes start to cross. Tis the season for plaid and tweed.
