Festive Plaid Fan

I hope you're all enjoying your time off with your families and friends and eating lots of amazing festive foods. (Comment down below what your favorite food is this time of year!)

This is an outfit I've been dying to rock, and one I deemed very appropriate for the festive season! For some unknown reason, plaid, especially red plaid, has always reminded me of the holidays. I'm not sure if it's the cozy feeling it makes me think of, or the red associated with Santa Claus, holly berries, and cardinals, but I love to incorporate plaid in my wardrobe at this time of year.
