For me, plaid runs the gambit from my collection of cowgirl chic western shirts to classic American sportswear iterations, like my Geoffrey Beene vintage red plaid coat, pictured left, that I may just pull out and wear again.

Chloe-Spring-2012-Sandals
 Wear It Wednesday... it's a dare to pull off socks and shoes. Socks and shoes, no not the way actors had to wear black socks in sexy movie scenes back in the day, but black socks of the off the runway kind. Miuccia Prada started the knee high socks worn with heels trend and championed it. Think of this fashion trend as an alternative to boots in warmer months, just look at the Marni look below.  Outfits pop with neutral knee socks (please avoid colorful socks as you want to veer away from cutseyville), with retro and easy to try shifts in proportions. You can also try the knee socks worn with heels trend to color block a too bright
