It’s no secret that I’m mad for plaid, so when I saw this plaid maxi dress online at Boohoo.com, I couldn’t resist!
SHOP THIS LOOK: Dress exact (different color shown), bag exact, all else options
And since I love a party with a theme, here’s a few of my fav plaid looks from last week’s linky …

Have a fun & fashionable start to your weekend, Dolls! Just think, next weekend is a long one for most of us! What are your Thanksgiving plans? I have a FIVE day weekend, so I’m super excited. As far as Thanksgiving dinner … well, I’m an awful cook. The last two years the hubby and I went to an Indian restaurant … delicious food and no crowd! I will be hosting Fun Fashion Friday next week and starting the fun on Thanksgiving Day at 3PM (PT). It might be a light crowd, I know, but hopefully you’ll stop by to share a T Day outfit pic or your Black Friday haul!

Extra credit question: (sorry … such a teacher ….) … Can anyone recommend a good starter DSLR camera? I’ve been getting by with my iPhone, but am thinking of asking Santa for a camera this year.

I totally love that dress! We have a mad for plaid thing going here at my house, too. Eldest son loves the lumberjack look and gets upset when the rest of us wear anything plaid. (Just for fun, I'll link up a few older posts with some plaid that I love!)
As for cameras, my husband has a Canon Rebel (older) which does a good job. My advice (given to me from a professional photographer) is to visit a local store and hold different models in your hand. I'm looking to buy a DSLR for my blog work (so I don't have to borrow hubby's) and am considering the Canon 70D. I was going to do the mirrorless camera from Sony, but we want to be able to share the lenses between our cameras. Mirrorless ones are a little smaller, but work fabulously.
Thanks so much for the camera ideas, Laura! So cute about your son's plaid love! 🙂
Ahhh and I have mad love for this dress and boots!!! So stylish and classic! Festive and Fun and you look so chic and pretty!!! Have a wonderful weekend full of all the things that make you happy!! 😉
Aww thanks so much, Andrea! Kisses! 🙂
Wow! I love that dress! How fun and perfect for the season! Have a great weekend! Peace! Cheryl
Thanks sweet Cheryl! 🙂
Cute dress!
Happy almost Friday!!! 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Love this look paired with those tougher looking boots! As for DSLR, I have the basic Nikon D3200 that I bought from Costco a few years back. It's super easy to use but I haven't moved beyond the auto mode! I think most of them are great and you can't go wrong with anyone of them.

I've gotten so comfortable just using my iPhone, so I'm sure I'll be in auto mode for a long time too!

Thanks so much Dear! 🙂
Oddly enough, I was trying on a few paid tops at Target this morning and found a cute blue plaid top that I purchased. So looks like I'm mad for plaid too 😉
Monica.
Yay for us! I'll keep an eye out for that shirt on your blog, Monica! 🙂

Oh, I love plaid! And a maxi dress, what a great idea!
Thanks Tiina! 🙂

This would look amazing on you, Amy Ann! 🙂
Thank you so much for including me in your group of favorite plaid posts! That just made my day (especially considering how much I struggled styling that scarf 😉 )
I can see why you couldn't resist that gorgeous plaid dress! Not only do I happen to love that particular plaid, I think the silhouette makes it really unique. I also love the edginess you gave the look by styling it with your moto jacket and booties. Fabulous! xox-M
Loving your style Mary! Thanks so much for being a part of FFF! 🙂
You really nailed it with this one Dawn…love, love, love it! The plaid, the jacket, the booties; yes to it all! I have a Canon Rebel T3i which I love. I've had no problems with it and the pictures are excellent. I am planning on picking up a new lens one of these days. The kit lens is fine, but I want to try a 50mm so I have a few more options.

This new maxi-dress of yours is a red plaid WOW, dearest Dawn!! I love the way you've added some rocker edge by styling it with those buckle-embellished ankle boots and that moto jacket…I'm not at all ashamed to say that I want to steal this look right off your back!! ;D P.S.

What a lovely combination. I wish I owned more plaid myself but this plaid maxi is so edgy but screams holiday cheer as well.

As a lover of plaid and plaid dresses myself (as witnessed by the two posts I linked this week, also) I love this maxi dress. It is perfect for Fall and the Holidays weekend. And hey Indian food sounds great. Enjoy your 5 day weekend next week and your weekend this week!

Wonderful dress and gorgeous look. I love this proposal.
