Visions in Plaid


It's just a plain old fact, I just love my plaids. This season I went and picked up Ralph Lauren's newest plaid pants and they fit like a glove. The outfit came in perfect for my Saturday outing to Longwood Gardens in Kenneth Square. I wonder if I was in Scotland Tabitha would even talk to me in this get-up?


Of course with the threat of rain I also grabbed my plaid umbrella with Scottie dog handle. Too much plaid? I do looooove my plaids so. And not to shabby looking if I ever need a cane! Of course the fur scarf was extremely warm, and I add it to many different outfits. Now mind you , I have never wore plaid pants before, but I sure did get some nice comments that afternoon, and one half flirtatious comment at the pub later.



After the Lad enjoyed my outfit it was off to the gardens, upon entering, seeing my favorite bird, the peacock!Onere is going to be one of these at the Casa!


I really do love the fall season, but it's the cooler tempts I dislike. Since getting older, I have noticed I mind the cold more so much more than before.I'll take the hottest summer day, anytime. But I do love the colors of the season, the fall plantings, and my sweaters. Longwood Gardens looks lovely for every season, Christmas and Spring being the most spectacular.


 
After the walking and me getting chilled to the bone, we hit the Dandelion Pub on the way home so I could par take in some Ginger Sidecars to warm up...and it did just the trick. Tootles!

    Talk to you? I'd be copying you! I love this look, I am dying for a pair of tartan trousers but don't know if I can pull them off, they just make winter look so cosy.

    1. They do seem to make winter more cozy somehow. I worried about the same thing, of pulling them off, but I sure you would look smashing in them!

    tartan print rocks. I love the garden and agree with you about the cold weather. I still can't believe how much my shoulder bothered me the other morning when it was just above freezing for the first time this fall.

    I like my plaids, I even have a plaid pair of boxersbriefs lol

    Those pants are adorable and much less "bright" than my pair which have a red base color.
