I always love your red plaid blazer Janet. </p> <p>I own no plaid - I would consider a winter blazer though if I found one that was just perfect.</p> <p>I currently own no spots or plaid - and added in my first striped item after wearing out some older stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343972 Sat, 11 Nov 2023 16:36:30 +0000 JP 2343972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your plaids are fab, and the kind of plaids that I like.<br /> I've been tempted a few times to get the tule skirt, but I don't think it will look good on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343947 Sat, 11 Nov 2023 13:08:38 +0000 Anonymous 2343947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny thing is, I didn't really think of you as a big plaid wearer like Suz, Runcarla, or Angie- but I do love that skirt!<br /> I don't have a single plaid piece rn, and haven't for 5 years or more.<br /> Oops- I forgot one! I think there's a watch around here with DHs tartan, probably in the garage somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343944 Sat, 11 Nov 2023 13:00:12 +0000 Janet 2343944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, yes, you all need that shirt! A bright happy plaid is so perfect for you. </p> <p>Bijou, your tartans are so wonderfully consistent! I get you on the trickiness of nostalgia-inspired purchases and how thoughtful one needs to be about committing to them and then styling them. My subdued plaid trousers are sort of an update on the plaid skinnies of ten years ago, for me. They suit my evolving preferences (and body, sigh). </p> <p>Roberta, that sweater in particular is such a pretty color palette! Great collection. </p> <p>I have a couple of plaid shirts that are not in my Finds. Again, they are quite a few years old! A slightly oversized shirt in shades of burgundy, plum and blue that I got at Target probably 10 years ago, and a blue plaid shirt from Nordstrom nearly that long ago. Both are lightweight and very, very casual. Mostly worn for camping or hanging out at home. I had a great black and white flannel one but life on the cattle ranch killed it. I’ve thought about getting a new flannel one but I really don’t need more “kicking around the house” clothes! Im very picky about flannel shirts because some of them are too thick and stiff, and others feel cheap. I like the plaids to match up too. It can be a tricky pattern to do well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343935 Sat, 11 Nov 2023 09:42:41 +0000 Star (Lise) 2343935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous unique items (except for Suz ;)).&nbsp; I get that black and white plaid could be very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343931 Sat, 11 Nov 2023 04:21:21 +0000 Bijou 2343931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love plaid too, with tartans always welcome in my wardrobe. When I was 15 I bought a red kilt and it was worn throughout my high school and university years, a wonderful time of my life. I always feel a bit of youthful buzz when I wear my tartan items. I found a red kilt similar to the one I had as a teen in my 40’s, but felt weird in it, I realised that I needed to get the item right for my current style sensibility and not just buy something based on a past wardrobe workhorse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343915 Fri, 10 Nov 2023 22:40:59 +0000 Roberta 2343915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pretty collection! I have a few plaid things (largely flannel), and most recently found a plaid dress from Desigual that I just love. If I had a million dollars I would buy the McQueen version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343912 Fri, 10 Nov 2023 22:18:18 +0000 merwoman 2343912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful plaids! I’m lusting after that gorgeous plaid and tulle skirt that you and suz both have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343911 Fri, 10 Nov 2023 22:17:08 +0000 Angie 2343911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AND!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think <b>Suz,</b> <b>Carla</b> and I need this shirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343908 Fri, 10 Nov 2023 21:55:18 +0000 Angie 2343908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous plaid items, <b>Janet</b>! You wear them beautifully.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking at them makes me smile :)</p> <p>My wardrobe is feeling severely under-plaided at the moment. It needs more LOUD plaid. This is my current collection:</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343903 Fri, 10 Nov 2023 20:58:08 +0000 BlueJay 2343903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of your plaid items. Lots of playful plaids here! The Moto plaid coat is very unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid#post-2343898 Fri, 10 Nov 2023 19:42:40 +0000 Janet 2343898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In considering Angie’s blog post today, I realized I do have quite a collection of plaid items — even a plaid handbag! </p> <p>I’m noting that plaid items seem to have quite a bit of longevity in my wardrobe — some of these items I have had for many years. I reluctantly gave up a pair of plaid skinny jeans a couple of years ago after admitting to myself that their time for me was probably done (they were a size too small at that point and also maybe a little short in the back rise for my current preferences).</p> <p>I am fairly picky about plaids — the color palettes must be right! — but once I have them, I really enjoy them. Especially in jackets and coats! They are not everyday workhorse items but have a high happiness factor when I do want to wear a more statement-y topper. That said, I have worn the black and white plaid coat with the detachable moto insert a LOT. </p>
