No animal prints. No florals. I would wear plaid. Not sure about the animal print. But I would never ever wear floral prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6/page/2#post-1741769 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 17:13:18 +0000 Barbara Diane 1741769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a cozy plaid scarf at NAS for colder weather. I haven't found any shirts etc that are at least JFE to purchase.<br /> I have one striped shirt that might not be JFE but was the best of the best.<br /> And a much beloved cozy black infinity scarf with thin white stripes.<br /> I do wear lots of mostly printed tops. Even my sweaters have cable prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6/page/2#post-1741754 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 16:53:00 +0000 Angie 1741754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE plaids, checks and tartan.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you need a plaid intervention, Ruth.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6/page/2#post-1741750 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 16:49:24 +0000 RobinF 1741750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have very little plaid or stripes. I like them on the rack, try them on, and they just don't look good on me. I do have other prints but not really a lot of those either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6/page/2#post-1741685 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 14:33:27 +0000 Inge 1741685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You crack me up, Ruth!-)</p> <p>I do adore plaid, currently have 4 plaid shirts, and wouldn't mind a 5th one if I could find one in more feminine and/or brighter colours that look flattering on me.</p> <p>As far as stripes are concerned, its no secret on YLF that I just cannot get enough of them. I get extremely greedy when I see a stripe, and want to own <i>all</i> the striped tops in the world... (striped scarves, socks, shirts, jackets etc. are not safe around me either).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6/page/2#post-1741683 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 14:26:44 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1741683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of plaid. Lots of stripes.&nbsp; Lots of other patterns too.&nbsp; I'm a maximalist for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6/page/2#post-1741594 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 08:42:18 +0000 peacechick 1741594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love plaid, always have. There's something about how the colors blend that makes it soft and very wearable compared to hard checks which I can't do at all. I like gingham if done in pastels.</p> <p>Stripes are difficult though. I don't have a single striped top I dont have issues with, and this doesn't even include the ones I rage-purged. It's so hard to find the right stripe pattern for your body with the right thickness and neckline and fabric. I'm still searching for the perfect breton stripe tee for me.</p> <p>I confess to disliking paisley a lot. No rational explanation aside from it being way overused in boho clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6/page/2#post-1741592 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 08:41:36 +0000 rachylou 1741592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a card-carrying preppy, no matter how I may feel or how hard I fight, I'm not allowed to NOT have a plaid skirt and blue blazer ready to go... oh flashback to being marched to Nordstrom and the Scottish store... hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6/page/2#post-1741568 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 04:51:38 +0000 elpgal 1741568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love plaid but till last year I had no solid tops except layering camisoles.

Santa can bring you more than one!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I do own plaid. (More Scots ancestry here.) I have...a plaid shirt, 2 plaid pants, a plaid culotte, a plaid scarf. Probably more that I'm forgetting.&nbsp;</p> <p>At different times I've also owned and loved a myriad of other plaid shirts, a plaid coat,&nbsp;</p> <p>I have gingham, too, and also a boatload of stripes. And very little else in the way of pattern. A few leaf patterns, a few floral scarves is about the limit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6#post-1741486 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 00:31:06 +0000 bj1111 1741486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Sally--love how you came back to tell us that you had TWO plaid uniforms to put you off plaid.</p> <p>@UmmLila--natch, that may be how i wind up with plaid--in black and white.</p> <p>@Aida--you have lots of plaid-lover company.</p> <p>@Angie--for xmas, i'm asking for a bigger ticket item...hello, necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6#post-1741484 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 00:23:43 +0000 Angie 1741484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You KNOW what to ask Santa to bring you for Xmas.

That’s<br /> going to be my reason for passing on some key trends…I’m allergic!</p> <p>@Brooklyn—Your secret’s safe. Scot’s, er, scout’s honor.</p> <p>@Elle—lots of room on the stripes couch. &nbsp;plus i have cake.</p> <p>@Joy—so, for stripes anonymous, how would I make<br /> amends? To all the stripes that I took<br /> for granted?</p> <p>@Astrid—of course we could stay friends. Apparently you successfully completed Joy’s<br /> course?</p> <p>@Gaylene, @Sterling—Lots of solitary plaid shirts hanging in<br /> closets. I hear you about the maximalism<br /> trend. I am struggling to play along.</p> <p>@Viv—For some reason, when I think flannel, plaid is<br /> automatic. But I don’t necessarily think<br /> of plaid flannel as plaid. Need to think<br /> about how those neurons connect.</p> <p>@rebekahphoto—since the 90s are back, your shirt qualifies<br /> as vintage, you trendsetter.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6#post-1741460 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 00:00:49 +0000 Sal 1741460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I had two plaid school uniforms (one in black watch tartan and one in rusty/orange)....that explains my aversion.</p> <p>I like them on other people though.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6#post-1741447 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 23:46:56 +0000 rebekahphoto 1741447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always loved plaid, I used to wear a red plaid Pendleton skirt constantly....</p> <p>confession: I still have a plaid shirt I wore in the 90s, in Seattle, listening to grunge, often while camping and drinking whiskey....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-6#post-1741444 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 23:41:07 +0000 viva 1741444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not much, but enough to pay my dues for living in Maine. 2 shirts (one flannel) and my new NAS vest.

Then they were all over and I got overwhelmed by all the choices. Now I will feel like a sad hipster if I finally get one.</p> <p>@Xtabay--yup to the catholic school association. Hence no kilts.</p> <p>@Aziraphale--you like what you like...word</p> <p>@El Cee, @La Pedestrianne--represent your tribe!</p> <p>@JAileen, @Alexandra--yay for stripes. looking for even moar.</p> <p>@Suzanne--hubs is a prep, his plaid is polite and well behaved. Maybe not such a prep since he is anti pink, anti madras. </p> <p>@Style Fan--I do love a good paisley as long as it's abstract or full-on hippie 70s. </p>
