Plaid is Back

Since the whole 90's theme has become so prominent this season, plaid is included. Plaid was huge about a year or two ago and I wouldn't consider wearing it a few months ago but this season I incorporate plaid into so many of my outfits. The great thing about plaid being so popular a few years ago is that you don't have to go out and buy a new shirt.

 This is just a quick set showing how I would style a plaid button up, it's a very versatile type of shirt and print that works with so many things but personally, when I throw on a plaid shirt these are the first things that come to my mind.

Prints on Prints plus Metal

Wearing: Forever 21 top and  pants, Jeffrey Campbell sneakers, Hair cuff from Ebay

Hair accessories have been my obsession for a while now, and this hair cuff just adds to my collection. I literally never wear my hair in a ponytail but I had to in order to wear this metal cuff because I am in love with it, I adore how it is a bit rustic and not as "shiny" as the regular hair cuffs. I purchased mine from a story on ebay but H&M sells them also!

Playing with Proportions

Wearing: Abercrombie flannel, Vest from Beacon's Closet, Forever 21 skirt, Bow from etsy, Topshop booties

One of my many favorite trends this season is what I like to call "playing with proportions". Many of you probably interpret this as something like a baggy top and tight fitting bottom which is completely true but I really like this spin which is just taking a skirt, specifically skater style, and throwing really any shirt (slightly baggy) over the skirt, without tucking it in. Essentially, the skirt should peak out at the bottom and overall it creates a really effortless look. I am definitely planning on wearing this trend many times this season when I'm in a rush to find something to wear.
