If you are anything like me you will have taken careful consideration over one of this seasons biggest trends-tartan. There were several thoughts that crossed my mind. The first was the fact that as a child I was often dressed in tartan (no I am not Scottish) so in which case if I wore it the first time should I be wearing it now? They do say trends just keep going round, if you keep your clothes long enough everything will be fashionable again! The second thought was, how can I wear tartan without looking stupid? What would I wear various pieces with, and for what occasion?
I decided to put together five different looks all involving varying degrees of tartan.
