All That Plaid

All That Plaid

Wearing a plaid skirt can be a challenge. It's hard to get a cozy and cute look without the kinky schoolgirl vibe. My outfit (center), inspired by those on the right and left, uses varied textures and basic colors to negate the any notions of a school uniform.

I'm wearing:

• Black cropped sweater from Cotton On
• Gray plaid skirt from Target
• Black tights from Target
• Mottled gray socks from Target
• Gray booties by White Mountains

Nothing I love more than mixing textures. I took advantage of H&M's end of season sale, buy buying last season's styles in this season's colors. You can incorporate out of season pieces by layering.

I'm wearing:

• Black romper from H&M
• Purple cardigan from Target
• Fishnets from Mandee
• Floral Doc Martens
