It’s not quite time to start back-to-school shopping (yet!), but we couldn’t help but share more of this chic fall trend. This season, it’s all about mixing plaids with prints, stripes and even other tartan items. Grab anything checked: a shirt, jacket, skirt or otherwise, and mix it into your fall wardrobe rotation, immediately.

 

Get belted
The classic plaid shirt gets a feminine update with a self-tie belt. Feeling girly? Tie it in a bow and throw on a flowery skirt. In a grunge mood? Knot it and toss on skinny black pants.
 

Belted Plaid Shirt, $12, forever21.com 
 
Major mini
Who knew chiffon and plaid went so well together? Embrace your tartan side and go for a checkered mini. Layered tees or a pretty blouse top it off. Skip the knee-socks or risk the highland look.
 

Plaid Chiffon Double-Layered Shirred Waist Skirt, $42, americanapparel.com
 

Perfect pair

Your shoedrobe just got way more fun. A gingham wedge with a peeptoe updates your basic cuffed jeans to quirky-cool. 
 

Cocoa Dust Wedge in Picnic, $70, modcloth.com

 

Jacket fever
Make a statement with an all-over plaid coat. Khaki trenches suddenly seem so boring, right?

so i was watching the disney channel show shake it up and the heat it up episode and in one scene they show this adorable pink kitty hat and I just cant find one that's in-stock or some-what similar to it and i really wanted to find it so could you please help me?
and thanks. Smile

 

Hey girl,  

 

Animal hats are a big trend right now, so you should be able to find a similar one at many different accessory stores and mall stores, like Claire's or Forever 21, even if they're not pink. A Halloween store may also have something more colorful if you're really into the pink shade. You could also try searching the internet for a similar hat. I hope this helps, good luck with the search!

So recently, I started to absolutely LOVE shopping. The thing is; is that I usually spend a lot of my money, or I buy a load of gifts for my family and friends for no apparent reason!(Not that that's a bad thing, but I'm running low on dough!) How do I save my money? Thanks MOD!




Hey girl, the best way is by not bringing money when you do shop: try window shopping or asking yourself do you really love the item you're buying? Leave the store and think on it before making the purchase: it's a great way to separate what you really need versus what you just want on whim.

I need help. My family is REALLY tight on money (we pretty much always have been and always will be) and don't spend on luxuries like clothes. My wardrobe consists of 4 plain blue and grey t-shirts, a pair of jeans, and 2 pairs of shorts. Absolutely nothing to work with. I feel bad asking for money for clothes, and I don't have a way to make money. Even when I have money my dad doesnt want me spending it on clothes because he thinks its my parents responsibility to provide for me. I don't know what to do. We only buy clothes when I've outgrown what I have or it's really faded. I go to a private school and we wear uniforms, so at least I don't have to worry about a different outfit every day, but on weekends I'm almost ashamed to go out in public. It never used to be a problem because I didn't care what people thought, but now I'm getting older and constantly feel like a poor freak. I need help.




Hey girl, you're not a poor freak. But tell your dad that now more than ever you really want to be able to spruce up your wardrobe to express who you are. Tell him you don't feel like you can express yourself: you feel bad spending his money etc. Just be honest. He may be willing to give you a little bit more if you give him a good reason to.
