Growing up, I went to an all girls, catholic high school.
We wore a uniform that included a plaid kilt in colors similar to the one pictured.
I remember one day, I was on the subway heading downtown, headphones in. I had my standard uniform on...kilt, white button down, knee socks, a jacket.
A rather attractive woman turned to me, smiled and said "I love that you're wearing a jean jacket with your uniform. So rebellious".
And so, my love affair with plaid and denim began.

I still love the idea of taking something pretty and making it edgy.
I added the crinoline (found via etsy here) underneath this simple plaid skirt. Add a lace-up ankle boot, slip on some classic wayfarers and a hint of red lipstick.
Rebel ready.
