dress tartan 1990

.

somethings don't change, I still love tartan plaids and big long skirts for Christmas dressing- if I need to go there. This one-had a big swishy skirt. I wore this 10 years earlier while in college with red silk satin. I'd wear it now, if I only knew where to find it.

& there is nothing like tartan for the holidays, I can just see Carolina Herrera in this, She has great style-a long skirt and tailored shirt can not be beat in the evening.
