Burberry tartan

Chav - that is the word that is ringing in your minds as you read the title of this post. Just give me a chance to explain. For those that know me, you know I am not one for emblazoning my body with luxury brand logos.

NO!

God NO!

 Hell NO!

Hmmmmm, ok....maybe. LV do it in a stylish way. Being totally honest, I wouldn't buy one but if somebody gave it to me I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth lol.

So anyway, back to my purchase from today's Portobello Friday market. In contradiction to my normal style tenets I bought a vintage pair of Burberry tartan cropped trousers. I know, I know. I'm already doubting the purchase. The colour combination is nice enough, perfect for the summer tartans I was talking about in the Ezine. That dress was in a gorgeous tartan with a lovely colour palette. I think a tartan dress is easier to wear than tartan separates. That's why it's the perfect statement purchase.

This is the pattern of the trousers I bought.

I truly do like it but I think this may have been a rash purchase. We all make those once in a while. I was thinking I could wear them with flats and do the whole preppy look. But on the other hand I think the print is too distinctively Burberry. Oh I really don't know now. These might get relegated to the back of the wardrobe never to be worn. However, the mark of a true lover of fashion, let alone a lover of vintage clothing is to take a bit of a risk. I'm not famous. I'm not going to get caught by my favourite fashion policewoman, Joan Rivers, so I can wear these in blissful anonymity knowing that if I end up looking like a complete fool, nobody will care.
