4 plaid pieces to instantly update your fall closet

Check these out, too...

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?

**MOD** My crush and I have been flirting and talking for a few months now and I think he likes me but is too shy to say anything. Neither of has admitted any feelings. I want to tell my crush I like him but how do I aproach him?

 

 

Oh, girl. This is a classic question. In order to start a relationship someone has to budge. Wait for a time when you are alone and say something like "I really enjoy talking with and wanted to know if you've ever thought about being more than friends?"

Plz help me! A few months ago, Someone on my bus said this about a kid: "your such a... you know the word but i wont say it." so i said "a [bad word]?" and then what I said cause problems then I told my mom I didnt call him that and she said "so swear to ur brother & sister" so i did. And theyre only 6 and i luv them. Will anything happen to them?




Hey girl, no, I don't think so. I would generally avoid using that language around them though. Right now they probably don't know any better. If they repeat the word, teach them it's bad and that it shouldn't be said because it's not nice.

Hey! I was just wondering how do I get a guy to stop texting me without blocking him or seeming mean...? He seemed really cool at first but now he's kind of annoying me. I feel really mean but I don't really need all this in my life Tong
Thanks!




Hey girl, just ignore him. He'll stop when he realizes he's getting no replies.

Okay so I wear short shorts. it's not like they're SUPER short, but they're pretty short. but it's not like it's inapropraite or anything at all! and my parents allow it! anyways my friend said WHILE i was wearing short shorts "anyone who wears super short shorts sorta like yours is sorta slutty." so basically calling me that. and it's not super short or anything, just normal short shorts! it's not even as short as the abercrombie shorts, a little longer! and she duz stuff like that all the time. like saying that a certain type of clothes is innapropriate while im wearing it. so basically indirectly telling me i look inapropriate when i DONT!!! what should i say to her???




Hey girl, I would just thank her for her wardrobe concern and leave it at that. You have every right to dress the way you like as does she. If she continues to harp on you about it, just ignore it. She's looking for a reaction. Don't give her that satisfaction.
