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?

It all depends on your school's dress code and what you and your parents are comfortable with

Okay so, I decided that I was going to throw my friend a birthday party because she never has birthday parties and I love planning them. Only, I'm not quite sure what to do with this one. I'm still debating on whether or not I should have a get-together at my house or if we should go to the mall or movies or something. Also, I don't know who to invite and I don't know whether or not to invite guys. We're not really into sleepovers, so that's a definite no. I thought about having a picnic in my yard or something but I don't know if my friend would like that. Mostly though, I'm lost on how many people to invite and whether or not to invite guys. Everyone is ages 14-17. My friend is turning 15. Thanks for the help!




Hey girl,

Guys can change the whole dynamic of the group, so you kinda have to be prepared for that if you want to invite them. Your friends may feel more comfortable if it's all girls, and the party activities may run a little more smoothly if it's only girls.  A picnic sounds great, especially because it's so nice outside now, and playing kickball is a great sport to play outside and a fun party activity. A bowling party could also be fun, because everyone likes to bowl! Try inviting only her closest friends (I'd say no more than 15-20 people) so that the party doesn't get too out of hand. Good luck! x0x0

One of my bffs is annoying me, lets call her A. A wont stop texting me and let me have some alone time. Like my other bff was planning a sleepover with me,her, and A. A needed a ride so I said I would ask my dad if he could take us when he got home, 3 minutes after I said that she would say is it ok? Then 3 more minutes later, is he home? Then, I can't wait! Then, so yes? So then I just stopped replying and after 2 minutes if I didn't reply she would say hellooo???r u going to reply??? .... I'm just getting really annoyed, and I want to stay her friend. What should I do?




Hey girl,

Even though it might be a little uncomfortable, you need to have a talk with her because that's the only way she's going to understand how you feel. You can tell her that you love being her friend, but sometimes you feel like she just texts you way too much and you don't like that. If you're completely honest with her and tell her that you still wanna be friends, hopefully she will understand where you're coming from. Good luck! x0x0
