I Want This Wardrobe: Vanessa Abrams
Vanessa is living her college life to the fullest. Besides getting into rompy threesomes, the Gossip Girl also enjoys showing us her selection of unique and vibrant ensembles. While strolling NYC, Vanessa kept warm in a cozy colorful plaid jacket by Diane von Furstenberg, paired with a blue embroidered dress by Nanette Lepore.
Trend Alert: Winter Retreat
It's bound to happen. Everyone starts to hibernate as the days get shorter and the temp gets colder. However, that's no excuse to dress drab.
Trend Alert: Little Plaid Jackets
I have three, and counting. Even though little plaid jackets feel so right in the Winter, a lighter weight one, or a freshly colored one, can translate for Spring, too. Who's that girl in her LPJ?
Celeb Style: Kristin Cavallari
Leave it to The Hills hottie Kristin Cavallari to make a regular plaid shirt look smokin'! The reality starlet shopped on Melrose wearing an Elizabeth and James plaid shirt, black skinny jeans, and Louboutin pumps. Ray Ban Wayfarers shielded her from the paps, while her Alexander Wang bag stashed all her cash.

Now that we've differentiated between Winter and Summer plaid, let's dig in. This Vintage Plaid Full-Skirted Dress, size xs/s, has fun written all over it. I love the color palette, as well as the girlie skirt.
Trend Alert: Summer Plaid
I have a friend who is a self-proclaimed plaid addict. She does look darn cute in it. And so does Rihanna, in her oversized Vince shirt.
Rojas Mini Shorts: Love It or Hate It?
I occasionally dabble with plaid, especially in the Summer, but there's something about these Rojas Mini Shorts ($63) that rub me the wrong way. Let's investigate. Unlike Olivia Palermo's cute track-style shorts, these make me think of Richard Simmons busting a move on the gym floor.
