Tartan Spirit

Posted on November 1st, 2015

You can wear stripes any day of the year.  Tartan… not so much, unfortunately.  Good luck making that work with your spring florals.  I love a classic plaid, so now is the time to get in on these pieces for a traditional and festive look!  Grab some champagne and let’s get started– with shipping times being what they are, you’ll want to start your outfit planning now.

When it comes to wearing multiple tartan pieces at once, extreme caution (or avoidance) is necessary.  We’ll take a head to toe approach here so you can figure out which options for incorporating plaid resonate most with you.

…Around your neck for caroling and Christmas light viewings: One // Two

…Tops to tuck into a full black skirt or style casually with jeans: One // Two (I have last year’s version and wear it often) // Three // Four (elbow patches!) // Five (on sale!)

…To make a statement over a sleek black ensemble: One

…One and done dresses: One // Two // Three // Four (pictured above)

…Skirts: One (my #1 pick!) // Two (scallops!) // Three // Four

…Fancy Pants: One

…To keep your legs warm: One

…Twinkle Toes: One // Two 

…And the only time head-to-toe plaid is appropriate… while you’re waiting for Santa, of course!
