Plaid Pleasures!

I love it when the sun plays 'peekaboo' in the midst of high winter!

Its the perfect opportunity to pull out your transitional biker (which has now become a staple!) pull out a gorgeous maxi skirt, and say bye - bye to drabby winter chills!


This plaid skirt is in a soft viscose and drapes like a dream!


   

Team your skirt with a white structured shirt and add an edge with a biker jacket.
If you don't have a biker, opt for any other fabric - ponti/poly knits are excellent options



Slap on an easy flat - in my case I opted
for a mens inspired flat, and an oversized
bag. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Make sure that you wear a length that is right for you - this one would have been perfect, just above - or below the knee! Don't be afraid of a chinced waist and some pleating on the waitline! This will cover th...
