LOOKS LIKE...plaid has absolutely gone mad!

     Taste the rainbow. Though I am fine with Skittles urging us to do so, I am frankly not as fine when Oscar de la Renta seems to be doing the same. This plaid extravaganza includes literally every color in the rainbow. My multimedia design professor definitely told me that was a no-no as of last week when we were playing games with the color wheel!
     The sleek silhouette and flowy nature of this design are wonderful, but no matter how hard I try, I cannot force myself to think plaid on a dress (or on mostly anything) is even slightly acceptable. An asymmetrical gather on the left side offsets the one-shouldered twist...which i love and dream about every third day of the week...but even this feat cannot compensate for the unfortunately placed plaid.
     Thinking about trying out a peculiar print such as this? Slap on a crazy accessory and keep the rest simple. As much fun as it is to be a walking optical illusion, I'm sure many people would prefer that you refrained from burning out their corneas (including me).
