Topshop Tartan Tee

Topshop Joni Jeans

&Other Stories Necklace

Topshop Jacket

Topshop Spiked Heels 

Mulberry Del Rey

Apart from the one tartan scarf I bought earlier this year in the winter, the last time I wore tartan was during my emo/goth. Don’t Judge. We’ve all been there: captivated by Avril Lavigne’s skater girl philosphy of baggy jeans, grubby eyeliner and striped ties over vest tops (seriously who let that happen?)

But the chaotic spirit of punk has punched it’s way back through in many collections for the upcoming seasons. Models draped in chains, bound in leather, and covered in checks: this was the image all over over Versace, Moschino, and Celine, to name just a few.

Elements of anarchy are still hinted at in this outfit through the tartan, chain necklace, leather, spiked heels, but all in a subtle and feminine way.

What are you’re thoughts on the tartan/punk trend? Love or loathe? I’d love to know..

I cant wait to team this tartan tee with a fetishy vinyl pencil skirt… at least when the weather isn’t quite so sticky.

    Love this look, so jealous of your Mulberry! I'm loving the tartan things floating around at the minute although I do think they are better suited to a/w. Got my eyes on a few pieces I'll buy now and keep aside for then! X| Taxi for Jackson |

    I love the awesome 60s vibe of this. That will never not be the best look to aim for in my book. Although I love plaid I don't think I would have second-looked at this tee until I saw you in it. Now I need it. And yes, the Avril stage. The amount of eye liner that was sacrificed so I could channel that angsty anger during the teenage years.

    I LOVE tartan! More than anyone should! My dad's family are Scots and we even have a tartan carpet all the way up our staircases and on the landings…I even have a red tartan blanket on the foot of my bed at the moment. I particularly love this top Sophie, I really really do. It's something I would buy in an instant, which is saying a lot for someone who doesn't wear much colour!! You look gorgeous.And I went through an emo phase. Big time. Cringe,cringe, cringe.Florahttp://www.twowithseven.blogspot.co.uk
