I have a fashion Q for the guru!
When you see someone wearing "the" burberry plaid do you think they're trying too hard to look fancy/designer-ish?
I ask b/c I need new brown shoes and I found 2 pairs that I really liked - both burberry. One was all brown but it didn't fit that great (the store didn't have my size though so I could go elsewhere), the other was partly that plaid. It fit great but the plaid is so obvious... I don't want to walk around like "Hi, I'm wearing burberry and you're wondering how much I overpaid for it."
Re: Marquis
Do you think people in Detroit will recognize Burberry?
In general, no. In fact, one of the receptionists at the firm has a Burberry dress, and I think she looks lovely in it. But when she wears it, that is the focus of her ensemble. She's not wearing it with Louboutin pumps carrying a Louis Vuitton signature handbag.
The trick is to not have overkill. I would definitely judge someone in head-to-toe Burberry tartan (ETA: hat, dress, gloves, clutch, shoes, etc). Or if you wore those shoes with a Fendi signature bag and a Chanel double-c necklace.
But just having them in general? No, I think they're adorable. And far more subtle than most signature designs.
:Butting in:
I think a lot of people in Detroit recognize Burberry.
And I also think they are super cute. I have a Burberry purse that I love (it's the pink plaid).
{butting in because I'm a Burberry whore}
I own more Burberry handbags, coats, and shoes than anyone should. ITA that the key is to carry or wear only one piece at a time. The Burberry print, at least on the traditional pieces, is quite vivid. I once made the mistake of walking out of my house wearing a long Burberry coat and carrying a Burberry handbag and umbrella. I looked ridiculous but didn't realize this until I walked past a store window.
I also have to add that I don't think that people who wear any designer print are trying too hard to look fashionable, but I also live in a big city where such clothing/handbags/shoes are pretty much de rigueur amongst the working women and gay men.
You said tartan! I'm very impressed : )
I think this is it:
I can't remember though. I can't find the all brown ones but they're similar. They have more of a pointy toe going on though. It's leather (or something like that), no buckles but the leather is sewn in a way that gives it a texture.
I'm really bad at explaining this. sorry.
LOL at is_it_over_yet. Your post reminds me of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and the "plaid family."
No problem with me keeping the logos down. I like plain things and I own next to zero designer parapheranalia.
omg, haha, I love the plaid family!
Love the shoes. I have their rainboots, which I love - so comfortable!
Yeah, yeah, I know. Some lessons are learned the hard way. LOL!
