Plaid Skirt Winter Wonderland

Plaid is so fun and can make a lot of creative ensembles my mixing an element of plaid.  From a high class fur combo to a relaxed chillin' look, to a city chic outfit, a business suit, office attire or horse rider look...Fur is so versatile and classy. 

You can wear it all types of ways and to all types of functions.

See below:

Okay let's start with fur accessory look: Michael Kors does it right with a A Fur hat, jacket and super cute fur purse.  Combined with a red turtleneck and plaid skirt.  Then he combines brown heels with slouched socks.

Yes, you have to be a true fashionista to rock this look, but maybe you can tone it down with one, two or a few of the elements below!

And, here's a completely different look.  This girl is so street-chic with a plaid wrap skirt, brown shrug and cute hat.  She is keeping it warm, toned down and fun with her bright blue tights/tennis shoes. 

This takes plaid to an everyday casual look whereas the first look was a more upscale, bold yet fun ensemble.

You can also wear a plaid skirt in cool blue.  Are you a pattern mixer?  Well, check out this smart mixture of patterns.  How about a flowery collared shirt, rolled sleeves, black buttons and pink sunglasses.  With a hand held purse, arm candy and leather-black ankle boots. 

Don't forget leather bike rider arm candy!

As a horse rider and lover myself, this dulled down plaid skirt and classic brown rider boots, with cowboy backdrop is right up my alley.

This brings the plaid skirt to another part of the nation and to the outdoorsy girl's lifestyle.

But, did you know that plaid could be worn as a business suit and work attire?  Who wouldn't love Oscar de la Renta's suit here paired with a solid gold belt and lovely purse?

And here's a very cute frayed plaid knee length skirt with high boots and classic sweater vest.  The bow is adorable.  A little girly, yet still mature!

Louis Vuitton has a similar approach with a basic sweater, hand held purse and burgundy shoes.

This modest take is really nice- a leather tight shirt is paired under a tubeless plaid dress, black belt and feathery fur gloves.

Yet it's still classic even with elements of leather.

We'll end super warm for the holidays, just how we began with a gorg fur hooded coat, brown plaid skirt, high necked shirt and leather purse.  You can keep the shoes simple and classic, there's enough going on already...
