Perfect Plaids

Tantalizing tartans for… Spring? You read correctly, darlings: these tantalizing tartans are straight off the SS ’10 runways! Another trend goes yearlong, it seems. And CC couldn’t be more pleased with these plaids!

Suzanne said...

I love plaids, but I think it's difficult to wear it in a fashion way. People do look very preppy or alternative sometimes..

Plaid is so classic, it's hard to say no to!

Liking the plaids. Recently received a red tartan scarf fresh from wee bonnie Scotland. Also been working a red plaid purse w/big leather & chain handles.

Intrinsically Florrie said...

I love plaid with mixed patterns like at Anna Sui :)
The Vivienne Westwood outfit looks perfect for a ladylike trip to the park.

Plaid has been one of my favourite trends from the season. Although, I think I'm over wewaring it. I definitely hope it stays though!

MizzJ said...

Chanel and LAMB did plaid best imo - both were so edgy and original!

Jenna @ Mi Vida Bonita said...

Looks like plaid is here thru Spring! love it.

Dumbwit Tellher said...

We never relate Spring to plaid & I'm happy to see these choices. I love plaid anytime of the year. Hope your start to the week has been great so far CC?

where would we be without our plaid shirts... so glad they are on the runways, even though i'd keep wearing mine even if they weren't. love the charlotte ronson look! don't think i would wear a plaid bikini though... xx

Beth Connolly said...

Love the idea of tartan for spring.

Diana said...

I'm a big fan of plaid, so I'm looking forward to what spring will bring.

Cammila said...

What a surprise: the adorably costumey blue plaid number from Anna Sui is the one that makes me feel like I NEED to wear this stuff, right this minute! I think she embeds subliminal messages in her clothes.

Grace said...

I love plaid, especially madras for spring!

Aline said...

yes, i love plaid!!!

T said...

I love casual plaid with a pair of great denim shorts and chic sunglasses. Like Daisy Duke, but modern and classy. Love it!

Panty Buns said...

It looks like Lady Gaga's influence is being felt on runways around the world. The fairly formal plaid no-pants suit by Margaret Howel (nym) looks great. Thank you Lady Gaga!
