All in the plaid

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

During high school I went through this fad of wanting to be cowgirl.

The stupid  reason I chose to do this was not one of a new hobbie, but unfortunatley to hang with what I thought were the cute guys…

Typically the fashion for most farm boys and girls and cowgirls and cowboys, is the never out of style plaid shirt.

Flannel seemed to be the pick of material for the plaid  shirts and it was pretty comfortable.

Now in 2009 what is one of the top fashion trends?

Plaid

During a shopping trip to the Mall of Acadiana in Lafayette, La, my daughter wanted to go into Hot Topic.

While she was shopping for her gangsta costume, I noticed a really cute hot pink plaid shirt.

Sold to the 43 year woman shopping with her teenager.

Well, I didn’t try it on but I was sure it would fit me.

Days later I decide to wear my new trendy shirt and was so doggone mad, because the shirt was too snug!

Don’t you hate it when you buy something without trying it on and it doesn’t fit?!

Well….6 weeks have passed and guess what Im wearing today? Yep!

and no, thats not me!

I have been on the Activa yogurt challenge and I feel so much better. I bet Ive lost about 5 lbs!  in just the 1 week Ive been faithful to eating my yogurt daily. And my plaid shirt isn’t snug anymore.

So, I have my plaid shirt on, skinny jeans and black slouchy boots on. And my cowboy said I look sexy! Im just trying to follow the trend.

Give it a try girls!

So, plaid it is…and with the Holidays coming up! There are so many fashionable dresses that will all have this trend! Just Google plaid cocktail dresses, there is a style for each one of us!

Enjoy your plaid findings.
