Plaid doesn't always have to be for shirts. Plaid pants can be be paired with solid colored tops or a edgy graphic tee. Plaid pants look great in skinny jean form so that it shows off your leg shape.

Like any other print, plaid can definitely be mixed and matched. Try taking a main color from the plaid print and match it up with other prints so it maintains at least one matching color. The cheetah and plaid above is so chic!

The newest plaid trend is wrapping a plaid button up around your waist. It gives the look a pop of color and can be used to warm yourself up if you get cold in the chilly fall weather.

DIY Nails: Simply Fall, Simply Plaid

It's not winter just yet so I am still rocking fall themed nails. I've noticed the popular nail polish trend of nudes, browns, and other dark shades so I had to try out for this week's mani. However, I can never stick to simple nail polish so I decided to try out a very simple plaid design accented with cheetah print on my ring finger nail. All I used to create this nail look is Schnapps Out Of It by O.P.I., a brown nail polish, a black nail striper, red nail polish, and a nail art brush.
  1. Begin with clean nails and coat them with a clear base coat.
  2. Add 1-2 coats of Schnapps Out Of It by O.P.I, or any other bright brown color to your nails.
  3. Take your second brown nail polish and stripe one line vertically or horizontally across each nail. Skip your ring finger if you want the accent nail!
  4. Take your black nail striper and create one vertical line next to the brown stripe as well as one stripe horizontally across the nail.
  5. Dip your nail brush into some red nail polish and add a red stripe horizontally or vertically across each nail.
  6. Create a cheetah print design on your ring finger by making jagged C-shapes with your black nail striper brush.
  7. Let your nails dry, then add a clear top coat on top of your nails.
This look is totally appropriate for the season! Plus you can switch up the stripe and color patterns to make the nail look all your own. Let me know in the comments below if you try out the nail look!

Miranda Cosgrove looks so cool in this trendy plaid, leather, and collared dress.I love that the entire look is pulled all together in one look complete with flirty peep toe heels and a blue smokey eye look. Plaid, leather, and especially collars are some of this year's top trends that can be worn in so many ways. Leather can be seen as leggings, pants, shorts, skirts, and even dresses. Plaid is a print that can mixed in with other prints and patterns depending on the primary colors and how busy the overall plaid print is. Collars are definitely big this fall, they look so amazing with embellishments like  studs and spikes. Miranda is totally fall ready, all she needs is a cute cardigan when it gets chilly.

What are your favorite fall trends?
