…and explain to me why “buffalo plaid” is called that. And while we’re at it, what’s a buffalo gal?

OK, I just looked it up. The song “Buffalo Gals” refers to girls from Buffalo, NY. That’s not as interesting as I was hoping. I thought maybe buffalo gals were women in the wild west who tamed and rode buffaloes and, like, solved crimes and engaged in other general badassery. Nope, just chicks from upstate New York. Boring.

Well I still don’t know where the term “buffalo plaid” comes from and Google didn’t help me fast enough. Whoever can give me the best made-up story explaining the origin of buffalo plaid gets a million meaningless points. Alternatively, you can just compliment me on my mad neutral print-mixing skills. Happy Friday!

I generally pay more attention to my bottom layer than my top layer in the winter. Basically I come up with a cute outfit, and then I ruin it by piling on lots of warm things that don’t always go well together. But on this particular day, everything kinda worked out. Even with three prints, it looked like I did this on purpose.

I mean…I DID do this on purpose. Because I’m a fashion blogger and I totally know what I’m doing.
