First off, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to our Guest Blogger Gaëlle-Vanessa, the Creator of French Curves!!!
Plaid or tartan, is a classic staple and wool variations naturally resonate with cooler seasons. Inquiring minds want to know: What exactly is the difference between plaid and tartan? Here's what I gathered from dictionary.com: "Generally, we think of tartan as the name for the cloth and plaid as the name for the particular pattern, but the words are often used interchangeably so that tartan can mean any checkered pattern and plaid can mean any checkered fabric".
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's move on with today's post!
Fall is officially underway here in the States, which means in my mind that it's time to break out the Plaid =) Red and black tartan is everywhere around us, but how often do you cross paths with colorful plaid combinations?

Thanks Lorraine! These aren't my only pair of strappy white shoes, but I continuously reach for them!
DeleteThat's a beautiful skirt !!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I have several styling options up my sleeve, can't wait to move on the next one :)
DeleteI enjoy tuning in to your blog to also see how you're voting to wear your hair. You are very imaginative with your hair. This mane of curls works beautifully with the busy skirt. I like how the white top brings a calmness to the look. Great look and fun!
ReplyDeleteLOL! My hair has a mind of it's own, and I really believe it suffers from a personality disorder, LOL, JK! Seriously my hubby claims that MY mood changes depending on how I wear my hair. This look is his favorite by far because he says it brings out my "happy, free, fun" side :) Thanks Glenda!
DeleteThe print of the skirt is used in Jamaica, W.I. to make cultural outfits and we call it "Bandana". You look Great and your hair is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWell Bandana it is Neti and I would love this print in a dress :)) Thank you!
