While out in Nashville this past weekend, I saw a girl (she was probably in her mid-20s, but doesn't woman just sound too old?) who looked she was pulled right from the 90's - crop top, denim shorts, combat boots, and a plaid shirt tied around her waist. At first glance, this may have appeared off but I couldn't help but think she was on to something. 

Until recently, I thought plaid was only to be worn as a Christmas pajama pant but now I can't help but think of the versatility - pairing with delicate lace items, sequins and sparkles (especially for the holidays!), and dressing it up with a black blazer and pants. 

I'd love to know, what are your thoughts on plaid? Oh and PS - happy fashion week!
