Mad about Plaid

I love tartan plaid!
 I have a lot of plaid in my fall and winter wardrobe
and I have a lot a madras in my spring and summer wardrobe.
Here is a classic look that I would wear this winter
 
Preppy plaid and pearls
 
 
 I am Scottish on my paternal grandmother's side,
and love that we have two different family (clan) tartan plaids!
Some day I hope to have a few skirts or wraps made in these tartans
 
The McIlvaine Clan
 
The Murray Clan
 
Although I don't decorate specifically with tartan plaid, I do have some sort of plaid,
whether it be a window treatment or a pillow, in each of the rooms of my home.
I also like to decorate my table with tartan plaid, especially around the holidays.
 
Here are some wonderful pictures of tartan plaids used in fashion and at home...

Great photos! I ADORE plaid. Not a lot of people wear it in Texas so I can't wait to buy some when I arrive in Mass. LOVE the earrings!

Adore everything about it. I think we might be essentially the same person on different coasts!

I too adore plaid! My Pop-Pop always wore plaid pants in the Fall and Winter. Plaid always reminds me of him and puts a smile on my face.

I've been debating doing a plaid mood board for a wedding lately because I feel like it's going to be a big resurgence. You're confirming my thinking...
