A Splash of Tartan!

 Hey everyone...

I had been lusting over these tartan trousers for as long as I can remember. I saw them a while a go on UO's site but they were too pricey for my liking, however, about three weeks a go I was browsing through their sale and I literally jumped for my debit card when I saw these were half price. Literally my fingers have never typed so fast to make sure I got the purchase. It actually turned out they were out of stock within a day, so thank god I found them when I did or I would have been crying myself to sleep for a very long time.

Well anyway since they arrived in the post I haven't taken them off, although it did take me a while to find something perfect to pair them with because as you can see they have quite a vibrant pattern so you need to pair it with something that isn't too over powering. So when I saw this jumper in warehouse with 20% off I knew it was the perfect match. Just plain enough to go with the trousers but not too boring due to the studded shoulders.

I tried to be a bit more artistic with my photos today as I get a bit bored of standing in the same old posh in the same old place. So let me know what you guys think?




Trousers - UO
Jumper - Warehouse
Necklace - UO
Hat - still stolen off my Dad
Boots - Topshop
















Boots - Topshop


My Dad was actually amazed to see me wearing a pair of these because apparently back when he was hitting the clubs etc he would go around in a pair exactly the same but in red and with braces. Looks like a lot of fashion pieces never old!



Love

Ally J

    I am so envious of those pants! I have literally been searching all over for the perfect tartan/plaid or houndstooth print fitted pants for fall but I still haven't found one I can afford that still makes my heart pound.

      I know its so snug. They were giving away 20% student discount that day, so if you hurry you might still be able to get it :)

    These are amazing, I'm not surprised you had your eye on them! They're interesting in the blue too, I think the red ones can look a bit toooooo punk? But the blues are much more wearable ♥ Claire @ Jazzpad
