Elizabeth's Flickr Finds: St. Andrew's Day

Today's Flickr Finds are Scottish themed! This is because today is St. Andrew's Day - the patron saint of Scotland. I have quite a lot of Scottish ancestry myself, so it seems doubly proper! :) Of all the clans we belong, I generally think of myself as a Ruthven, because my ancestors were the clan leaders. I even have some Ruthven tartan hanging in my bedroom!

plaid

I grew up in the 90's when plaid meant grunge, ripped jeans and dirty t-shirts. Well plaid is back, and this time it's actually stylish. By creating fitted silhouettes and adding dainty details, designers have taken this tomboyish print and made it chic. Here are some of my new favorites --
