Hey, Girlies!
This little trend has been sweeping the word, under everyone's radar. It's now time to stop assositating it with cowboys and grungy dudes. Why? Because this kickback trend is everywhere and is looking hot and we, lovlies, are going to rock it.
Here is how to trade in your casual dress for a tomboyish checked shirt... From the ultimate trend tracker- I.E. me.

First of all, get your colors right! There is nothing more common (well, maybe as common.. Such as badly fitting jeans) than an ugly plaid shirt. And even as a fellow fashionista I'll admit, finding the right colors together is a task. But you've got to do it! Look for colors that go well together, such as pastels, complimentary colors, or such. Such as, I personally have a light pink and light orange piece in my closet, and since the colors are so close, they work well together. However, my favorite is a pastel pink and mint green shirt I saw hanging longingly on a rack in some high budget store.
Secondly, get the fit! I personally like it fitted on me, with even a skinny belt in the middle to thin my waist... However, feel free to unbutton and slip it over a tight fitting shirt; that's perfectly fine. Just balance out the tight and the loose!
Third, rock it like a woman! This look is very masculine, so pair it with some of your girlier pieces. Also, leave just a couple (or three or four, if you're bold) buttons undone at the top. It will leave you looking more feminine, relaxed and open up your face! You can do girly hair and accessories as well to really get that balance on point. P.S. The example picture is perfect. I'd wear that RIGHT now!

Now, I'll give you some different ways you can wear this plaid trend...
1. The pure Tomboy.. Yeah, it's a little tomboyish, but that doesn't mean it isn't super cute... It's all your own style and preferance. I'd wear the grey skirt and a sparkling necklace (like the picture above this one) to really give it a nice touch... But that's just me... Feel free to boy it up, ladies!
2. The femmie... Thigh socks and short shorts keep you warm, while making you look hot! Enjoy that tempature pun. But really, she looks great.
4. The Grundge. Graphic tee? Check. Ripped high waisted denim shorts? Check. Leather bracelets? Check. Kickbutt look? You bet, sister.
5. The Skirt and Shirt. Sorry, no cute name for this one! Anyway, tuck in your skirt into a skater/pleated skirt for a super flattering look. It looks super hot and super casual, perfect for...Always.
6. The Around the Waist.. Just tie your shirt around your outfit (Make it tight, neutral colors) for a super sweet every day look. P.S. I love the colors in this shot; the yellow pop in the stripes of the shirt with a pair of go-to black skinnies.. Ahhhh, lovely.
7. The BLJ. Black. Leather. Jacket. My first ever fashion statement has stayed true to this day, and even with the plaid shirt, looks fabulous. Glam it up with some jewelry, BA it up with your BLJ and amaze it up with your smile and ladies, you've got a killer look.
Well, that's all the looks and tips I have for you girls today!
