Something strange has happened.
Summer is finally in full swing, and I have yet to decide on my favourite new addition to the Carr-Wardrobe family. Normally by now I have at least one new item that gaze lovingly at every morning as I rifle through my clothes, wondering how on EARTH I could ever have survived without the drainpipe jeans/smock/combat trousers/pedal pushers that transformed my entire existence.. the list stretches back to my early teens, when I invested a pair of B*witched-inspired flared dungarees, and had to have them surgically removed when the time came to go back to school.
So usually by now I have some wondrous new item of clothing that I feel so attached to I take everywhere with me, come hail or shine, sleeping with it under my pillow at night - sort of like Linus from the Peanuts cartoons with his blanket.. only.. it's like, a Gap lambswool sweater or something. Ok, weirder than Linus.
But that hasn't happened this year. Not with one item, anyway. A pattern, however, has turned my head. I love The Check. Not just a feeble, half-hearted nod to the check, but a full blown, stetson-swinging, ride-'em-cowboy check.
Shirts, smocks, floaty mini skirts - the Check does justice to them all. Even Mr Fashionista has embraced it, with a gorgeous brown and tan number from the achingly trendy Japanese make, Superdry.
This one is £44.99 from Superdry at www.cult.co.uk
And for the ladies:
£28 from Topshop.
GOR-JUS.
