Glad to be Plaid
That's my sister Shirley on the left, and me on the right. My mom made these outfits. Even as a 4 year old, I remember feeling like I was born to rock this outfit!
I went searching through my wardrobe the other day to see what I could wear for this Saturday's Robbie Burns Party. Seeing as I strongly suggested to my guests that they show up decked out in plaid or tartan, I figured I better make sure I would be dressed as authentically as possible.
To my surprise, there was no tartan to be found in my closet! I set off to Frenchy's and picked up two long skirts - one with a blue multicoloured checked tartan pattern (made in Cambodia oddly enough) and the other various shades of grey and blue (made in Moldova...what's up with that?). I still have to decide which skirt I'll be wearing, but I'll be happy with either. I'll also have some Scottish 'embellishments' to complete my outfit (guests will have to wait until Saturday to see what they are).
I picked up a few extra items at Frenchy's, so don't worry if you can't find any plaid in your closet, I will get you all decked out when you get here!
Here's tae us! Wha's like us? Damn few, an' they're a' deid! (Cheers! There's no one like the Scots!).
