that quote is from one of my favorite shows of all time, my so-called life – an obsession of mine through the 90′s.  i could go on about it forever, but one thing i remember is that one of angela’s (claire danes) key wardrobe pieces was plaid shirts.

and my my so-called life, pearl jam, grunge rock loving self had multiple plaid shirts that i wore around middle school.  so it was surprising to see the plaid shirts making a comeback this season a la sarah jessica parker, drew barrymore and jessica biel.
