Classic Plaid

You can't go wrong with a bit of plaid in the fall! I like it in the cozy flannel variety, classic blanket scarf version, never say no to a Pendleton skirt...the list goes on! Today's plaid is in the pinafore variety, rather mimicking a school uniform! It's funny how when you aren't forced to wear a uniform you gravitate towards the look. I only briefly had a uniform for my one year of private school growing up and I hated the uniform then, but now I find myself quite often wearing elements from the look--and I kept my actual uniform beret and still wear it now a decade later! For me I think it goes back to my love of nerdy looks; outfits that wouldn't look out of place...
