PLAID

Plaid is in...again.

WHY?

Is there not one person in the fashion industry today who didn't spend time in a Catholic school?  Maybe even a lot of time? 

Or did their time spent either wearing plaid skirts (girls), or looking longingly at them (boys), etch into their designing brain an irrevocable love for plaid? 

And is there an unspoken rule that every five years plaid is brought out again, so that those such as I, who did grow up enduring fourteen years of plaid uniforms, may yet once again be flung back to the days that harkened to sunshine, Popsicles and plaid skirts so faded and ragged that their mothers begged on bended knee to be allowed to replace the offending plaid, even though the uniforms were ridiculously over-priced? 

But how could the girl acquiesce when she was about to go down in the history of her very own convent school as the girl who wore her plaid skirt to such a state of decay, it was enshrined in the chemistry lab for future generation of students to admire?

A victory eroded ever so slightly each season plaid makes a return to the catwalks.
