I say forgo what your relatives think and rock those plaid trousers all the way! :)<br /><br />@ Nora, wonderfully put, it absolutely is a timeless and elegant pattern. Thank you deeply for each of your wonderful comments, Nora, I truly appreciate them all.<br /><br />@ Vasudha.dilip, thank you, dear! I hope that you find something marvelous to reuse in your closet. In these tight economic times I've certainly been "shopping" from my own (existing) wardrobe a lot lately. Not that I mind really, it's fun to continually challenge yourself to come up with new outfits from pieces you already own.<br /><br />@ MissRedLips, hi there, doll! Shopping can definitely be therapeutic! I've never been one to eat when I'm stressed or in a low mood, but I think the world would have to be on the verge of Armageddon for me to forgo the joy of a little retail therapy now and then ;D I bet you look beautiful in plaid, even if it does conjure up a sweet farm girl look (nothing wrong with that, especially this time of year!). Perhaps a vintage plaid dress with some sexy heels and up-swept hair would turn the look from from prairie gal to old school movie starlet :)<br /><br />@ Marie Reed, thank you, sweetie! I'm a huge gingham fan, too! I'm in short supply of it at the moment though...I should put together an post some time soon on gingham to help inspire me to hunt down affordable pieces in that equally lovely pattern.<br /><br />@ A red lipstick, thank you, honey! I hear you entirely! Plaid can be hard to get just right, so sometimes waiting for the right piece to surface is the only way to go. I really hope that you're able to find a plaid garment that you love soon! :)<br /><br />@ Yet, green plaid sounds beautiful! I would love to find a green plaid piece to add to my closet. Thank you for your comment!<br /><br />@ ambika, that's how I was starting to feel too (as if I was getting lost in the fabric and pattern of most plaid pieces), but then the shirt above came along and finally you could see both me and the plaid, without either of us stealing the show. I totally hope you're able to come across your own plaid/madras gem this season! :)<br /><br />Oodles of thanks again everybody for your great comments. I hope you each have an absolutely marvelous weekend!!!<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-90988811687471191242009-06-05T09:58:50.687-07:002009-06-05T09:58:50.687-07:00I love plaid on others but it tends to make me loo...I love plaid on others but it tends to make me look boxy.

glad to hear you had a success...Hi there, jessica!<br /><br />glad to hear you had a successful shopping trip! isn't it therapeutic? :-) so far the only plaid I own is plaid shoes. For some reason if I try on a plaid top or bottom I look either like a farm girl. I can't pull off the plaid look! But I do love it!MissRedLipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648495332650644716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-1458136905805244662009-06-03T21:15:42.556-07:002009-06-03T21:15:42.556-07:00Its beautiful......I simply loved this....will loo...Its beautiful......I simply loved this....will look for something in my wardrobe which can be reused.....nowVasudha Narasimhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00883244362876698517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-24749124719198529432009-06-03T11:57:20.244-07:002009-06-03T11:57:20.244-07:00I love plaid too!
