So what's up with plaid? It's completely IN right now, and I'm not going to lie, I'm diggin' it, but where the heck did it come from? Plaid just popped up onto the scene in the form of tunics, tank tops, and dresses, and I'm happy about it - but baffled. All of a sudden, it's hip to wear a button down flannel with skinny jeans. Congratulations, farmers! Plaid can be rocked in a variety of ways.

This chick is sporting a lovely Kimchi Blue Buffalo Pintuck Tunic from Urban Outfitters. Somehow, it looks good paired with leggings, and I'd suggest, cowboy boots or some other type of flat boots. I wore a tank with this similar print the other day, and my guy friend told me I looked like I was going out a picnic - "in a cute way". So ladies, do guys like the farmer plaid trend? Not entirely sure yet.

This plaid Taylor Gingham shirt is from Forever 21 is cute too - it has the plaid looks without being overly flannel-like or man-shaped. I bet it'd look great with jeans and flats. Browsing the Forever 21 website, there are literally about twenty different types of plaid shirts to choose from - take your pick, farm-lovin' ladies.

Plaid comes through yet again in the form of this Lillyan Cropped Jacket from Forever 21, also. This would look incredibly chic (not like you're heading out to milk the cow) with a tight tank underneath, skinny jeans and boots or flats. Definitely a great piece for the winter.

Go, plaid!
