Tartan Tales: Are You Plaid Mad Like Kate Middleton?

It was ubiquitous. And while it allowed the wearer to blend into the street style camouflage, I am happy to report that it may be nearing extinction as it appears that it actually bored itself to death.

Breaking up the pattern brings this look into 2015 and sure Kate will probably be getting out a scissors and her needle and thread to bring this bad tartan boy up to date.

Because let's face it, as a race we've made some bad mistakes in the past. And Paris Hilton was to blame for many of them.

So tell us, are you weary of the tartan print or are you simply plaid mad and can't get enough of it? And can someone help Kate with her backstitch?
