Plaid vs. Tartan

So, what's the difference between tartan and plaid anyway?

First, let's define.

Plaid: plaid is a material; a pleated cloth often made into a kilt, and can be made of tartan.

Tartan: a pattern of criss-crossing horizontal and vertical stripes in multiple colors.

Confusion continues. In North America, tartan and plaid are used simultaneously, but in Scotland, a plaid is a tartan cloth slung over the shoulder or a blanket.

So..bottom line-plaid is the material or fabric, tartan is the pattern. I get it...

Bottom line, I love tartan. That is obvious from here, and here, and I also like houndstooth..which is off topic but who cares.

Apologies for lack of blogging yesterday. Work/life can get in the way of e-life sometimes...how rude!

Some tartan around town..

So obviously, tartan is a PATTERN, as evidenced by the sparkly top above..
