Plaid is ingrained my brain as: The men's department.
Let's take a walk down Amanda's memory lane as research as to why this is.
Early on:
We see my grandfathers (Dad-o is deceased; Pappaw is still alive and kicking). Both of these fine gentleman were manual laborers who owned their own businesses. Dad-o was in grading and clearing while Pappaw was a lumberman.
Their standard work attire?
A plaid shirt and work pants (generally chinos) with boots.
My father, a holiday church goer, generally wore a striped or plaid shirt on those trips.
And finally my college boyfriend (not the man I married) wore, every single day of his then life, khaki pants and a plaid shirt (generally a red and navy blue plaid).
Do I have a love affair with plaid?

| Except maybe with Jon Hamm. |
Negative.
Being that this is all the rage as far as trends go this season I decided to see what was out there that I may can tolerate. I found these gems and thought I would share. My favorite has to be the last one <wink>

| These Sperry's area adorable and a perfect little accent to a fall outfit. Festive feet...sure! |
 |
| This is quite precious the wrap skirt and tall boots are perfect for work. I fight with the idea plaid is so masculine this really changes the thought process. |
 |
| In a vest for sure. I like this because I can make it a bit more feminine. Plus I have this quirky thing about vests :) |
 |
| Now that is appealing. :-) |
