Plaid Trend - 8/24/08

School is fast approaching!! What better to remind us of school fashion (a la Britney Spears) than a plaid skirt?? But today's plaid is a lot different from the "school-girl" uniform look. It is, as Tyra Banks would call it, "FIERCE"!

Plaid seems to be in every store I go into these days. I admit it is very cute to wear, although too much of it can be overbearing! I would suggest one plaid piece at a time. Whether it be a skirt, vest, or top; keep it to a limit!

Jessica Simpson, on the cover of Elle Magazine, wears a plaid cashmere shirt from Ralph Lauren Collection and jeans from Lauren Jeans Co. by Ralph Lauren.

Jessica Simpson has been channeling her “country side” for awhile now, especially with her highly anticipated country album releasing soon! And I really don’t have to mention that her boyfriend, Tony Romo, is the quarterback of the Cowboys!

While she is on the cover of Elle Magazine donning a Plaid shirt, the photo shoot unveils many plaid ensembles. All of which I CANNOT and probably will NEVER afford! =P

Cotton shirt, Dolce & Gabbana, $1,050!

Ruffle-trim chiffon dress, D&G, $3,325! Ouch.


Silk georgette gown, Ralph Lauren Collection, $4,298.


Other Celebs are also wearing this "trend":

The always fashionable, Victoria Beckham.

Gossip Girls' Leighton Meester.
Miley Cyrus in a ruffled Ivy Shirt.

And Lindsay Lohan.


Here are some items that I found on the trend:

Bebe Plaid Top and Skirt, $79 and $98, respectively.


Wet Seal High Waist Dress, $30! My Pick!!

Arden B. Plaid High Waist Pencil Skirt, $78.
