My sister passed on to me her vintage 1980’s black watch plaid blazer back when I was working an office job. It’s still useful and always will be. A plaid blazer is an autumn/winter staple that can go from work to weekend. Age doesn’t matter. I have 33 ideas here for how to wear it. These ideas go beyond the matching suit. So if you have a plaid suit, you might want to break out that blazer and see what else it can do!
Since the plaid blazer is a print, I start out with print mixing ideas. Then I have a few ideas for wearing it with dresses and skirts. And finally, I came up with 20 ways to wear it with different colors of jeans and other types of pants. I hope you will make use of some of these outfit ideas. I’d love to hear from you if you will leave a reply below!

Recently, my family and I went to hear Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha talk about her book documenting her experience in uncovering the tragic disaster of the Flint water crisis. As she told the audience what happened in Flint, it became clear that public health and a clean environment are ruled by politics. I am sharing news of this event with you because it is important for lifelong health — for you, your children and your grandchildren. Age doesn’t matter. Cultivating good health early in life improves the odds of living longer, and improving our environment is directly related to human health. What happens to others can spread to you and yours. But there are things you can do about it. You can affect what happens to your body and your environment.
My husband. Russ, is a long-time Commissioner of the Detroit Public Library. He interviewed Dr. Mona onstage at Detroit’s Osborn High School auditorium for the Michigan Humanities Great Michigan Read (GMR) program. I will present some talking points from the interview below. But first, let me introduce you to the GMR program and Dr. Mona.
