Tartan,
I bloody love the stuff; this was not always the case as my
secondary school uniform involved a tartan skirt which consequently meant that
I stayed clear of anything remotely resembling tartan. However recently, with
many years passing between my secondary school days and the present day, I have
slowly come round to the whole tartan trend, and now, it’s my thing.
As the autumn kicks in, it gives us an excuse to layer up,
and dig out our scarves, hats and gloves. This year I feel that tartan is the
ultimate way to layer up. It gives a little flare to any plain piece of
clothing without being too ‘out there’.
Loads of high-street shops are selling various different
tartans this year that would go with various different outfits you lovelies may
be piecing together. That’s another thing, tartan is not just resigned to one
gender, it can be worn by all. So, you’ve got no excuse ladies and gents.
It’s going to be a key item this autumn, and doesn’t need to
be kept to clothing. Tartan blankets are amazing too. You can get them from The Works- (yes I do mean the book
shop)for £2.99 or if you’re feeling a bit more flush, the National Trust shop sell them too for around £15 and they are made
from recycled materials.
It’s time to embrace the cold, and get your tartan on.
