Preppy in Plaid

After the holidays, many people will banish their plaids and velvets to the back of the closet, never to be seen again (until perhaps next December). But always a lover of all things printed, I cannot see a pair of plaid cafe capris spend the next 11 months on the hanger (never mind I caved and spent the full $148 on them at J.Crew). Today they get paired with stripes and cherry red cashmere, with zip-up ankle booties for a day at the office in the land of law.
