In Check

Plaid is the trend du jour and will be even stronger this fall. Although it does conjure up memories of more than a decade wearing a catholic school girl uniform, I'm sill lovin today's take on plaid because it's easy, affordable, and very versatile.

Wear an oversized button down as grungy outerwear or opt for a polished look with a slimfit top, skinny jeans and platforms.

Aside from the obvious lumber jack shirts, you can rock some plaid with cute little jumpers, strapless dresses, slim skirts, scarves, structured jackets and even tights (for the super daring).

The likes of Dolce & Gabbana, See by Chloe, and Elizabeth and James have delicious interpretations but I'd suggest you visit H&M, the Gap (eeek I said it), or Top Shop for pieces easy on your pocket.

You really can't beat just stealing your one of your boyfriend's shirts, but if sans bf like me, hit up a vintage store- I found a great little boys shirt for $12!

Mmmmmm...smells like Teen Spirit.
