A Plaid for Every Occasion

One of the most exciting parts of the season beginning to change is seeing all the new fashion hit the stores. As a shoe buyer, the beginning of Fall is a fresh start. It is a time to take the lessons learned from Spring and make the most of them for the remainder of the year. As a consumer, I love the freshness. The beginning of a season is always full of possibility and allure of the unknown.

To start of my season, I am taking some time to go back through the Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear coverage and see which shows/trends I really love. I am trying to be more strategic about my purchases, hence the research. So far, the Celine show has been at the top of my list, due in no small part to the abundance of plaid. I swear there was a plaid for every occasion. Glen plaid, Houndstooth, Tattersall, Window Pane, and you get the idea. As a think about what pieces I am going to sew or buy, I am definitely leaning towards making a plaid midi skirt. Stay tuned for pictures of my attempt!
