Mad for Plaid

Sequin Black Watch Plaid Handbag

I have always loved plaid. I came to love it even more living in Alexandria, Virginia for many years. Alexandria was founded by Scotsmen and the biggest event of the year is the Scottish Walk, always the first weekend in December. The weekend always included a gala where tartan was the preferred attire. I would wear a black watch tartan strapless silk taffeta gown.

The Black Watch Cape & Back Home

I made it back safely from Miami yesterday. I do not see any damage to my home, thank God. I'm so incredibly relieved. My garden is a hot mess, including a massive oak tree that came down from the preserves in the back but did not hit my house. If it had, it would have been catastrophic. 

Black Watch Season

It's October, so it's time to bring out one of my favorite looks of the season, Black Watch plaid. I posted on this timeless plaid recently here, but have a few new Black Watch pieces to share. I love the photo above pairing a Black Watch plaid dress with red shoes. So fun! Red shoes are definitely having a moment lately.
