The Plaid Collector.

And he walks just in time for the camera :) This picture is not taken by me

Did I tell you I love plaid? No? Okay well I'm telling you now. I've loved them since my highschool summer dress and winter kilt was plaid. Yep, we had to wear a kilt. No kidding.

Did I tell you I love vintage? YES and I'll say it again - I love it.

So what happens when the two collides? Major love! :)

I stumbled upon a cute little shop down Clinton St on the Lower East Side of Manhattan today, and was drawn by their $10 SALE sign outside. I sifted through the rack and finally bought 2 plaid items, ten bucks each. What a steal. I asked the salesgirl where do they get the clothes from (cos little shops like these normally get their clothes from all over), and she said most of them are vintage. My eyes literally lit up. The shop (pictured above) is called Live Fast NYC, and has a distinct rock n roll, punky Brooklyn vibe to it. I wouldn't normally venture into a shop like that, most of their stuff is not my style (they sell eyeball hairclips).

Anyway so now I have another plaid shirt to add to my collection! What's not to love about them? They're so comfy, hangs just loose enough for my liking, so easy to wear, no brains needed. Okthankyoubye.
