Blackwatch always brings back memories of my old school uniform, but this skirt has a more grown up twist. I paired it simply for Thanksgiving dinner at my parent’s home and took advantage of taking a picture in their library. I was wearing a classic OCBD in pale yellow and pearls with simple grey suede flats.
I cannot get enough of the fact that this skirt has a bit of a ruffle on the hip. Since it is on the shorter side, it has to be worn with flats and not heels. Always keep the proportion on your leg in mind. If I were to wear heels with this it would look vulgar. If the skirt were knee length then it would require heels in order to elongate my leg and for me not to look too matronly.
The blackwatch can be easily paired with almost any color. I feel I may even wear a pink OCBD next time I wear the skirt out. However, if you want to tone down the schoolgirl look I have also worn it with a pussybow blouse for a more put together and older look.
Remember, plaid can be done with out looking like a school girl. Do not be afraid to borrow the tartan from your youth and wear it today!

I love your pussybow blouse.
I don't think she is wearing the pussybow blouse.
Richard,
So far, Kipp has written "pussybow", I have written "pussybow", and now you have written "pussybow". Isn't that all that really matters?

Very cute indeed. Love cute girls in skirts.
I must say, the term pussybow has very different connotations for me, depending upon my levels of inebriation and desire, and my woman's talents.
I have teased Kipp about the term pussybow as well LBF.
Got it. My apologies for mentioning pussybow again.
Say it as often as you will LBF, it may be my new favorite term. Thanks Kipp!
It looks great on you, Kipp!
Looks great, Kipp!
Love the pussybow
Yes, I knew when using the correct name of that blouse there would be a not so sartorial reaction ;)
Kipp, you would look gorgeous in anything.
Richard has done well getting you on the Wasp 101 team.
I'd love to see more photos of your parent's library.
All the best,
Ian from Downunder
Kipp darling, you are cute as a button, but I think your skirts need to be a tad bit longer. They border on distasteful...just being honest and at least I am not hiding behind 'anonymous'.
