UNLEASHED! on Plaid

As I have been shopping around in order to refine my style before I leave for college, I reached this conclusion:

Dear Plaid Print,
GTFO.

Kthxbye,

Rosalie

I was okay with plaid, I own a shirt and a scarf, but as Fall collections have been filing in this year I have been inundated by this fabric print and it has officially worked its way up to annoying. My distaste for it mainly stems from frustration with the fact that since I have decided I don't like it, a good 75% of the selection in all major clothing retailers has been eliminated.

But Rosalie, you're moving to SEATTLE. You do realize that's like, the flannel capital of the WORLD! Actually, Cedar Springs, Michigan is the official Flannel Capital of the World, home of the lumberjack shirt. Even though Kurt Cobain and his band of Merry Men erupted out of the Northwest creating the fashion statement that would become grunge, fade out, and then resurrect during the alt-rock reunion phase of the new millenium, there's a probably good reason (though unknown to me) why it fell out of fashion in the first place.

That being said, I will accept it when utilized as flannel bedding and flannel pajamas, as well as any other type of cold weather wear.

Sorry, just had to get that out of my system.

I kind of enjoy the plaid, I own a good amount of it. But those shoes....ew, too far.

I LOVE PLAID. But i mean, there is no way one person could wear all plaid. They'd look a little more than homeless.
But you're right, plaid is everywhere. I just want to stop looking at it.

I like plaid, but only in small doses. I don't want to look like a lumberjack.

I've always had a bit of a lumberjack fetish. When I was a kid, my mom thought it was hilarious that I loved plaid.
So, regardless of the fact that it's everywhere, I still enjoy wearing it.

So, it would annoy you if I wore a one-piece, skin-tight, head-to-toe plaid jumpsuit with...um...a plaid cape to match?

'Cause. You know. I could get one.
:D
