Pretty in Plaid

It may be 60 or even 65 (!) degrees in mid-December but that doesn't we can't wear our favorite winter prints. I love tartan in December. It's a colorful plaid that truly says winter to me. It's a step above your average plaid that makes you smell gingerbread and hear jingle bells.

Target, Timex Watch with Plaid Strap, $44

Originally $80, this classic accessory is totally worth picking up this holiday. I love the red ticks on the watch face for extra color.

Modcloth, Brooklyn Belle Skirt, $69

Oh hello ladylike perfection! I'm pairing this with a winter white sweater and drop earrings.

JCrew, Red Tartan Pullover, $78

A great top to wear as is or for layering under a holiday sweater.

Landsend, Mid Rise Slim Leg Pants in Blackwatch, $89

This is what we can festive elegance. Understated but hardly an LBD.

Stand out this December in a punchy tartan plaid. Try it with accessories, dresses, sweaters, you name it.

The December Print

You now what goes hand and hand with December? Tartan. One look at the pattern, the colors, the texture, and you are reminded of fireplaces, snowmen, and hot cocoa. You can style it preppy, classic, or rocker. It's the do it all for December.

Topshop, White Tartan Asymmetrical Skort, $68

Not your standard mini skirt. Check out how the pattern falls with the asymmetrical lines.

Anthropologie, Tartan Tights, $24

This is a perfect holiday tight with a red mini dress and heels.

Zara, Combination Checkered Biker Jacket, $59

Not all tartan is sweet, try this relaxed moto jacket.

Modcloth, Footwork and Play Flat, $98

Safe to say these are my new favorite holiday shoes.

Tartan is surprisingly versatile as one of the bolder prints out there. Pair it with black, but think outside of the box this time of year and maybe pair it with black sequins!
