I’m not really sure when plaid is plaid, and when it’s “tartan”. Might have to do with the color? Or the scale of the print? I’m sure the answer is just a wikipedia entry away… Anyway, I would love to do the jacket/dress combo in the second photo. Haven’t yet found the right plaid jacket, but this might be a good dress?

    I’m not sure on the tartan vs plaid thing, either! I think it’s safe to say I want both this season! 🙂

      A friend commented on Facebook that she thinks tartan is a woven that is specific to a clan, whereas plaid is simply printed fabric, and doesn’t originate with any clans. She’s from the UK and lives in Ireland, so I’m going to trust her on this one.
