Mad for plaid
Looking for ideas to update your wardrobe this fall? Staple items such as the plaid shirt or the tartan skirt can be matched with cool jackets and pretty accessories for a new 2011 look. To incorporate just a small hint of this trend, think plaid accessories. Don a pair of plaid-patterned sunglasses with your outfit – the ultimate stylish fall accessory.
