Mad for Plaid

Emma Watson wore a darling McQueen tartan plaid dress to the GQ Men of the Year Awards. I immediately let out a little giggle because I have a dress similar to the one she wore except Emma's has a tutu underneath and mine is from Kohl's and about six years old. I tried unsuccessfully to put my tutu underneath, but you would need an a-line skirt to accomplish that task.

 

I am wearing a black blazer with my dress. Emma is wearing a leather jacket. This leatherette motorcycle jacket from Forever 21 would do the trick. The jacket is $24.80. However, Emma shed her jacket once inside, so it is not necessary to make the outfit, just to keep you warm.

Unless you would like to spend $800 on the actual Alexander McQueen dress, I would suggest taking an interest in these two pieces found on ModCloth. Any tartan plaid dress will do to make this look. Even Madge was seen wearing a long sleeve mini in tartan. Keep a look out for this pattern trend!

This dress is a little more vintage looking than Emma's, but extremely flattering. It is only $74.99. The collar is gorgeous and can be sweet and sexy. 

This Betsey Johnson dress is only $97.99! It has an a-line skirt for easy tutu access if you ladies want to add that little portion. 

Pair this look with simple black heels. I would suggest going light on the makeup. Use some liner and mascara to amp up the eyes a little and keep the lips nude. Let the dress do all the talking. You don't have to be A Scottish princess to pull this look off!
