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!

the look

I used this photo in a post a few weeks back, but while looking at other style sites and fashion blogs for inspiration, nothing seems to stand out to me more. 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!

B wears you well..

Sunny days and beach times are slowly coming to an end, but that doesn't mean you can't still look good! I've had my eyes on these sunglasses for a while now, and I still want them desperately. I don't know if my need for them is swayed by the fact that Beyonce sports them fabulously, or mainly because I have good taste (like Beyonce!) a little bit of both, I think.
