The NEW lasses wear thread

[Alan H]

...just because so many links are dead, dead, dead in the old one, stickied up above.

Just because it's winter and I happen to drool over lasses in tartan and boots, I'm gonna start with that.

BTW, can we mention sexy? Yeah, I suppose that the miniskirt is sexy. But IMHO, now this is just me, you know what KILLS me? This...

--knit turtleneck blouse, earth tone.
--plaid or tartan skirt, knee length, cut on the bias, earth tones
--knee high boots
--wide leather belt
--minimal bling, moderate makeup
--hair up with a chopstick, or other wooden pin holding it in place. Of course, the implication is that the right man, at the right time, can pull OUT this wooden pin, sending the hair down in cascades...etc. etc.

Drop-Dead sexy.

Onwards, then...starting with boots and tartan.

Buttons down the front.



While the poor woman is currently grossly over-hyped, IMHO, I have to admit that Kate IS drop-dead classy-gorgeous.



On the subject of bad-girl ...



Patterned hose, tartan skirt.... looks pretty good to me.



HI. What's your phone number?



My goodness but she looks *Great*.

[Alan H]

Now, some of you are probably saying..."that's fine for those young things with the legs for it, but how about me? I'm not wearing one of those little.....*things*!"

No problem.

Normal human being looking great in belted sweater and long skirt.



Jeans jacket and tartan skirt on a real woman, not a model? Works for me. (OK, this skirt isn't exactly tartan)



Classy. Black top, tartan knee-length skirt.



I bet this is an old photograph....70's maybe? And it's not tartan, it's tweed. But still.....classic.



Like long? I'm good to go with long.



I said LONG!!! OK, ma'am... as you wish!



Our favorite girl kills it again. I never even thought about a handkerchief tartan skirt.

Let me be the first to thank you, Alan.

Let me be the first to thank you, Alan.

But...of course! LOL

Hey, get your lady to slap a few of herself in here. Seriously, she always looks great. I'm drop-dead serious about that.

I agree Alan and she's my sister-in-law...

I have a few old pics.

[Tartan Hiker]

I can't believe no one has put up a photo of the amazing Pauley Perrette yet. Has any personality lately done more to popularize tartan and minikilts?

She appears on the hit series NCIS, and regularly sports tartan kilts and accessories. Google totally let me down, and this is the only Abby kilt photo I could locate.



She most often wears a red tartan kilt (possibly Royal Stewart).

[Alan H]

Looks to me like one simple recipe.....and you can not lose. Black top, black belt, tartan skirt, black tights, black shoes or boots. One little bit 'o bling. You'll KILL 'em.





I seem to notice that tartan boots are "out" this year.... at least, according to one website.



OK, you BAD. BAD gurl... lose the tights?



Or not. Hey, if Kate can do it, so can Pippa.



OK, I'm not wild about the furry jacket, but hey. The shoes are alright, they're kind of boots.



What the heck, turn the whole flippin' thing upside-down. OK, OK, she's got on liddle shoes, not boots and there's a run in her stockings. If she'd wanted to, she'd have fired up Photoshop and the run would be gone. I think the run is optional.



OK, your turn!

[GoodGirlGonePlaid]

I have those shoes without the bow!

Tartan skirts. It's all about the accessories.

[Alan H]

Monochrome and black boots....not just RED RED RED, she said. There is life beyond Royal Stewart.



LOUSY picture. Is it gonna snow, today?



NOT red. Real woman (not model or Royal wife/girlfriend/mistress or weathergirl) looks good.
