A few things that I want, or NEED in my life to get this Spring Season started right!

is plaid still as rad in '10?

We've seen plaid in store-font windows and mannequins and on the 12 year old neighborhood kid pushing around his skateboard, so has this trend been overdone? Most would say yes, especially after the tartan plaid has saturated the american eagle's and the hot topics and the like. I was definitely one to fully embrace the plaid, when it first made it's appearance, or re-appearance after the grunge era, but is it still fashion forward and can you still make a statement fully clad or minimally accessorized in plaid? Let's take a look at a few ways to wear this and still look le magnifique and relevant in twentyten!

I keep coming back to her and everytime, I'm as inspired and impressed by how effortlessly, cool and chic she looks. In my opinion, this is "the look." The end of the winter and as we transition into spring, this could be the perfect uniform, a light sweater, a printed scarf, slacks or pants and the quintessential bootie, or oxford -et voila!
