Winter Trends :: In Love With Plaid

 

Though we have mild winters here in Southern California, in most parts of the country they are enjoying (or putting up with) lots of snow!  When we do have a cold day, I love to pull out my scarves and coats.  Lately, I have been seeing a lot of plaid and I must say I am mad for plaid!  It is so colorful and cheerful, it can brighten up any outfit.  Here are some fun ways to incorporate plaid into your wardrobe.  Enjoy!

 

 

Layer It Up:

Love this look!  And that hat is just too cute!  You can look for plaid scarves from Old Navy, Target, JCrew and even Marshalls.  Find one that fits your budget and wear it as much as you can. Image found on Where To Get It.

So Stylish:

Really cute blog and outfit ideas can be found at The Northeast Girl  And love that red clutch.  Red anything always adds so much to outfits don’t you think?

Dress It Up:

I just found in inexpensive plaid blazer online at Target.  Look around to find one to add to your wardrobe and dress it up with a pretty necklace for a night out. Found on Hello Fashion Blog.

 Add in a Statement Piece:

I would not have thought to add in a statement necklace with a plaid shirt but just goes to show you – you can dress up plaid. The  Shirt ($26.00) and necklace ($15.00) can be found on Ella Bella Boutique.
