Over the past three or four years, plaid has consistently been on everyone’s lists of fall fashion trends. This year, of course, is no exception - plaid, gingham, and tartan were splashed all over the fall 2008 ready-to-wear runways.

Whether or not it’s played out is up for debate. Here’s what’s for certain; plaid is a hot trend for fall, and it’s not going anywhere any time soon.

Runway Inspiration




I like layering this plaid wrap dress with a simple long-sleeved tee and tights. Couple it with some great accessories and you’ve got the perfect fall look. This dress is also available in Black, Red and Gray.

In almost every celebrity interview, when it comes to naming a favorite wardrobe staple, the classic tee-shirt almost always makes the list. Each piece has its individual style and uniqueness depending on the wearer. The classic white tee can look different on singer Rihanna, Lindsay Lohan or you. Patterns, prints and colors make a simple tee-shirt become a versatile piece.

Tee Style Tips

  • Invest in a seamless bra or T-shirt bra for a smooth silhouette.
  • A tee-shirt's shoulder seam should sit properly at the widest part of your shoulders.
  • A fitted crewneck tee is a classic for all ages.
  • Scoopneck and V-neck types are great for those with fuller busts; be sure to avoid loose-fitting ones that can be unflattering.
  • Cap-sleeve tees show off those toned biceps well.
  • Want to give the illusion of a more elongated silhouette? Push up long sleeves.
  • Wear an open-neck fitted tee under a smart jacket for boardroom chic.

My youngest is leaving for college in mid August. I would like to get a job but have been out of the work force for 25 years and have no special skills. I do have a retail background an a AA in Fashion Merchandising from 1978! I live about 50 miles NW of Detroit, MI. I came across this web site and thought I would just throw this out there... Any thoughts would be appreciated. ]]> peggyd http://www.the-chic-petite.com/forum/blog.php?b=1
