Plaid To The Bone

One of my favourite trends that I am confident will always come through the fashion rotating door is plaid. Whether you call it tartan, check, grunge, preppy, punk, catholic school girl or even lumberjack you should have at least one tartan piece in your closet. And to my delight it is back with a force. Mainly stemming from the new punk movement or re-introduction of 90's grunge; it can be found anywhere. I myself picked up a nice plaid shirt from Primark for a delicious price of £8.

The beauty of plaid is that it can be worn any way. It can be dressed up or down. My favourite way to see it is with a leather skirt or pant. The girl who wears plaid is a brave girl, a girl who isn't afraid to stand out and a girl who likes to look as if they don't give a shit. I prefer a blue based plaid myself but the classic red is just that - classic.

From the image above; on the left is all from ASOS (minus the gloves) - they have truly taken the plaid look and ran with it. On the left is examples of plaid hitting the runway for this season - Fall 2013. As you can see there is many ways to wear plaid, but  I feel a strict rule should be put in place - 1 piece at a time. Too much is trying to hard. So take note of this, get in there before everyone else does because lets face it we like to have things first. Even raid your mum's closet - guaranteed she has some Bay City Roller's flared trousers you can steal.

Commitment-phobe

I have huge issues with committing to things. I am very indecisive and hate making a final decision. I hate making plans really far in advance as it sits with me and gives me more time to come up with an excuse not to go - I have killed off non existent relatives to get out of things, it gets that bad. It's not because I am lazy or unsociable but it just seems that doing nothing alone is a better option. Below I will list some of the bane's of my life.

Brushing My Teeth
First of all I brush my teeth every day and have quite good oral hygiene - infact my dentist said that my major problem is that I brush too hard (so suck on that you judgy people). My issue is brushing my teeth at night. I don't want to make the commitment to not eating after a certain point. I eat very late at night more than any other time of the day, so brushing my teeth is like the cut off point - and I am never ready to commit to that.

Booking Train Tickets
I hate sorting out travel arrangements in advance. Most people do as it is the smart option and I even hear that you can save money by doing it before time. This has not changed my ways. I will pay for my ticket at the station. I hate been tied to a particular time or a particular train - I will get there in my own sweet damn time.

Buying Clothes
I have to go clothes shopping alone as I know for sure I would piss off the people I am with. In a shop I will at least walk around it twice before I even touch a garment, then when I find something I like I will examine it. I will look at the seams, the fastenings and the quality of the material. This is because I know I wear clothes to death and I need to know it is a commitment that I can be comfortable with.

Ordering Food
Why people go out to eat with me I don't know, there will always come a moment where I will start to panic. There are too many options in a restaurant and I never know what I want and almost always I will regret it. Food is a big deal for me - I love it - and when there are multiple choices I will start to freak because I don't want to make the wrong one. I really wouldn't mind if restaurants only served one dish.

Making Plans
Once again I hate planning in advance. I like to be asked to go somewhere moments before it is due to happen. I hate knowing I have to be ready for a certain time. There is nothing better than the feeling of someone cancelling plans. The relief can overwhelm you. I will rarely cancel plans, I will more than likely just show up late.

Going To The Gym
For me just been a member of the gym is enough for me, makes me feel instantly fitter. Going is another issue. I can not commit to putting myself through pain a couple of times a week. Also it could get in the way of my TV binging. I want to get fit and healthy and as soon as someone comes up with a pain free way that I could either do in my sleep or sitting down, I don't see it happening.
