Mad for Plaid

Plaid seems to be everywhere these days, and I must say that I'm okay with it. I have, however, been looking for ways to wear it that are different than the buffalo-plaid-flannel-tunics that EVERY one has from urban outfitters/F21 (nothing against 'em... just trying to spice things up). What better way than to bring in a little vintage!?

I found a frumpy old house dress at the thrift store a few weeks ago, and I had a feeling I could transform it into something a little more wearable, and dare I say, even darling? See the results below and let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: I'm posting the before photo, ONLY so you can see the transformation, and not because I am self-assured enough to show you what I look like early in the morning with no make up on.

Prepare yourself for hilariousity.

Below the knee, baggy sleeves, and just generally unflattering. Who makes these things anyway?
I have no excuse for my facial expression except for that I had just woken up.

Cinch the waist, raise the hems, and roll the sleeves!

And voila!!!

I wore this look to work on a warm day last week, and I must say that I felt great!

More vintage fix-ups to come!
