Sometimes I get a little obsessed. It will suddenly occur to me that I don't have a certain thing in my wardrobe and the search begins. Then I end up with ten of whatever it is before I can come to my senses. It seems that 2014 was just my year to buy plaids and checks.
I'll start with the newest (and hopefully last for a while) addition to my plaid collection. It's my first Bernie Dexter dress and it's definitely a holiday dress. It will be a challenge to wear in spring and summer, so this one may do a lot of sitting on the shelf.
Saturday Night Pin-Up
dress in black tartan. This dress was also briefly available on ModCloth as the Pretty as a Rose dress.
I found this beauty on Ebay for only $25! It was missing the belt and had been worn once, but I added my own vintage black leather belt.
Emily and Fin is one of my favorite brands. This plaid lovely is the Too Much Fun style. These dresses usually run a little large and even going down a size when I ordered, I still had extra room.
...and as soon as it arrived I had a flash back my elementary school
days and seeing all my teachers wearing something very similar to this
dress....Oh well, I've decided to embrace it!
This dress is a little difficult to accessorize. I usually pair it with a dark blue or black jacket and burgundy flats.
I do appreciate how this dress can be worn casual with a cardi and flats or dressed up with heels and chunky jewelry.
Except for a couple of scarves and a top or two, I've discontinued my plaid search...for now. But here are a few lovely pieces I wouldn't mind owning if they happen to go on sale....*grins sheepishly
