LOVE HER!

I was so proud of Korto on season 5 of Project Runway.
Apparently producers found her talented enough to include her
in the Project Runway All Star Challenge.
Both times she made it to the final two contestants.
I feel like she was ROBBED!
She celebrates the female form in a way that is quite flattering.
Korto is exposing the world to vivid color with her African inspired designs.
I'd love to buy some of her clothes.

Plaid, Can You Pull It Off?

Baby Phat (plus size)

I haven't seen plaid in style since the late 1980's - early 1990's.
"LUMBERJACK jacket with the hat to match" anyone?

Plaid is traditionally seen as a strong menswear pattern.
You may be able to rock this pattern with a few feminine tweaks.

PLAID = any fabric woven of differently colored yarns in a crossbarred pattern.

Bold patterns can be a bit overwhelming for me.
A solid wide belt to cinch the waist feminizes the lumberjack effect.

For even more feminine appeal, consider a sheer flowy fabric like silk.

Look for tailored woven tops to flatter your figure.

Consider a CRISP white blouse or a solid turtleneck with a patterned skirt.

If you are not confident or bold enough to get in on this trend by wearing a shirt/blouse. Why not consider wearing solids with just a couple of plaid accessories.

Remember to ask yourself, "Am I wearing this outfit, or is it wearing me?"
You don't want to come off cartoonish or costumey.

- Keep it simple.
