Plaid is a major trend this fall. I wanted to debut it early in my style book because plaid has always been one of my favorite patterns. One of the first things I have sewn was a red and blue plaid apron for home economics class in elementary school. So plaid holds a special place in my heart. I also wore a plaid uniform all through high school and somehow I didn’t get tired of it.

Plaid is not an easy motif to wear, however, but if you know the tricks you too can pull it off effortlessly without looking like a school girl. Whenever I wear plaid I anchor the look with a solid color. In this case, I chose to wear a top, handbag and peep toe  booties in solid black. I did this to balance the 2 plaid pieces I wore. Had I only worn one plaid item I could have introduced another solid color to the look to add dimension.

 

DAY 2: MAD ABOUT PLAID

The 2nd day of fashion week was a light day for me. I was attending a few conferences namely, celebrity stylist to Céline Dion, Annie Horth at LaSalle College and Grace Kelly at the McCord Museum. I had to move from place to place so I wanted my look to be avant-garde yet not too outlandish for the streets.

This is what I wore:

CUSTOM MADE PLAID TURBAN by Me | BLACK SHEER SLEEVELESS TOP | PLAID PENCIL SKIRT from a Vintage Shop | PEEP TOE BOOTIES by BCBG MAX AZRIA | BLACK HANDBAG by Miu Miu | SILVER NECKLACE | SILVER STUD EARRINGS | BLACK AND WHITE CAMEO RING I picked up in Costa Rica.

If you like this look, here is how you can re-create it: GET THE LOOK.
