there's nothing like an idyllic weekend in the country to remind you how haute and handy pretty plaids can be... suddenly, i feel i need more pieces in this pliable pattern!

Every year as soon as fall hits I find myself being attracted to plaids all over again. I especially love the Alexei Hay photos!
I love those pictures and looks, especially the third one. classic, preppy country plaid.
Gorgeous pics! Love plaid, even if I don't wear it often...

I'm loving the plaid... Unfortunately I don't own nearly enough of it.

I have a coat that looks a lot like the one in the fourth photo. I wore it to visit my boyfriend's parents in the country and he laughed at me, calling me a "city girl who is trying to be country." Haha. Works for me.
I think that it's kind of funny that we refer to the Hamptons as the "countryside". I love these photos but I know that I will never be successful at making plaid look chic on me.
I wore so much plaid as a grunge-y teenager that, as an adult, I've got next to no plaid in my wardrobe. I regret getting rid of my most treasured plaid shirt from high school b/c now I'm totally picturing it worn with high-waisted trousers, lots of glam necklaces, and some refined "combat" boots. Sometimes closet purging is a mistake! ;)
I have such a thing for plaid... it's such a wonderfully classic, luscious pattern, and always comes in the best colors! Can't wait to see what you'll do with it :)

Plaid is the bomb. Plaid shirts are definitely a basic for me.
Agreed, every fall I have a renewed hankering for plaid. Gotta be careful with plaids though. Looking like a lumberjack is pretty much never hot. :) I love the third pic down w/ the hay. That jumper is so pretty. I'm a little disappointed to hear that you're not feeling the grunge resurgence. I think it looks really fresh right now & am stocking up on grungy pieces in my shop. www.nickiefrye.etsy.com I guess when you sell vintage, being passé is ok though.
some of these look pretty grungy.
Love plaids sooo much. I honestly was surprised they've made such a comeback since grunge and Clueless, but they really are so versatile.
such a beautiful and slightly classier way to wear plaid!

There is something about plaid... It's embarrassing how much I actually wear my thrifted RL purple plaid shirt. I edit it down in my outfit posts but if there was a dily outfit post on my blog that bad boy would be there way. too. much.
love the black and white shot
I love how pretty and chic the girl in the first picture looks.
