What I bought today ... or Bitten by the Black Watch Bug

I can't help it. When I see something in black watch plaid, I leap at it like a trout at a fly.

I recently picked up a pair of Brooks Brothers pajama bottoms in Black Watch plaid. I have an L. L. Bean flannel shirt in same. I have a fuzzy skirt from the Talbots and J. Crew loafers squirreled away somewhere, and any doubts I may have had that Black Watch plaid is very—nay, outstandingly—preppy just evaporated because did you notice that list of retailers?

What was missing? All I really needed was some outerwear, right?*

Well, here you go; a Vineyard Vines puffer vest in BWP. And it was on sale. At Saks, $198 marked down to $118.80.



Somehow I feel that I will not look quite so slim when I wear mine. 

But now ... if I want to (and I might throw another Mad for Plaid cocktail party because the one I threw about 10 years ago was a hit)  I can dress in BWP from head to toe. 

Which makes me want to hug myself in pathetic preppy glee. 


* Wrong. I have a navy blue Burberry trench coat with a BWP lining, so my outerwear needs are actually taken care of.
