Beautiful despite pink hair and her birthday present lip piercing.

The vibe of the llbean pair is not the same. Look, Una, if a pair of bold color plaid pants will make ya happy, get 'em. What is life for?

But after reading the comments, I am wondering if I could pull them off - might be too "young" looking for me! I think you could definitely wear them Una. The llbeans? Una- just say no. The muted colors, the large print, the shape - all just too blah (IMO) for your style (and mine!) I'm positive you can do better than this! goldenpig on "This is my secret alter ego" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-my-secret-alter-ego#post-483656 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 05:49:21 +0000 goldenpig 483656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Una, do it! DO IT! You must get these too! I need someone to back me up on this one, LOL!

I think you have to look carefully at pattern placement on plaid pants Aida on "This is my secret alter ego" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-my-secret-alter-ego#post-434168 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 21:20:02 +0000 Aida 434168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok so not plaid, but these in a slim pleated shape would be Awesome: <a href="http://www.express.com/boucle-textured-editor-pant-40741-704/control/page/14/show/3/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/boucle-...../index.pro</a> This is the plaid I'm thinking of though: <a href="http://cloud.graphicleftovers.com/21332/415814/pixel-plaid-gray-red-stripe.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://cloud.graphicleftovers......stripe.jpg</a> LoP on "This is my secret alter ego" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-my-secret-alter-ego#post-434052 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 18:22:55 +0000 LoP 434052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOL! I dressed like that in the '90s.

Classic, and classy. Not sure they have the edge you would enjoy most, Una, but nice. And warm, I'm sure! Very tempting to me, actually, more of the understated dressy look that I like. The asos red ones are impressive, however for that price, I would think they could do a better job of matching the plaid pattern. catgirl on "This is my secret alter ego" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-my-secret-alter-ego#post-433759 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 05:41:48 +0000 catgirl 433759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aida, let me know when you find them.

What I really want is a shrunken plaid blazer to wear with a Fred Perry top, skinnies and lace ups. Tres punk in a way I think I can still pull off.

Although I think anyone who wears them must be prepared for everybody -- seriously, everybody, including people three blocks away -- to be looking at their legs. Goodness, but I love plaid. annagybe on "This is my secret alter ego" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-my-secret-alter-ego#post-433301 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 20:10:10 +0000 annagybe 433301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They're cheaper than these <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/168446" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/168446</a> <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/164277" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/164277</a> Already sold-out (see last pic) but these are my current plaid pants lust <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/shoredtich-shearling-jacket-rag-bone/vp/v=1/845524441917047.htm?folderID=2534374302155467&fm=browse-brand-shopbysize&colorId=11409" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/shoredt.....orId=11409</a> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/moto-pant-removable-kilt-rag/vp/v=1/845524441917054.htm?fm=crosssell" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/moto-pa.....=crosssell</a> catgirl on "This is my secret alter ego" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-my-secret-alter-ego#post-433284 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 19:51:06 +0000 catgirl 433284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Team Urban Warrior Princess says "Red rover, red rover, send hillview on over!" hillview on "This is my secret alter ego" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-my-secret-alter-ego#post-433277 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 19:46:05 +0000 hillview 433277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok I will admit to LOVING them. I had a similar pair in 8th grade (mid 80s). I am not sure I could pull it off now but if I lived in NYC I could!

I actually just saw a woman in the subway yesterday wearing something similar - very cool! catgirl on "This is my secret alter ego" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-my-secret-alter-ego#post-433267 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 19:24:58 +0000 catgirl 433267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I know - Patti Smith returns. I think skinny plaid prevents the PJ look, but it does invoke a very punk/rebel vibe that appeals to me. rae on "This is my secret alter ego" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-my-secret-alter-ego#post-433262 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 19:19:56 +0000 rae 433262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very punk rock to me!

I love it. So on the hunt for appropriate plaid. now that it's too cold for my plaid shorts.
