Perhaps it’s the fact that I’m so glad to be back in London where I can layer on a gazillion things.  Perhaps it’s the fact that I’ve returned to find Christmas festooning London already (I always get peeved off that it comes so early due to retailers gunning for extra sales but this year…it sort of feels quite nice to know that Christmas is ‘just’ around the corner…).  Perhaps it’s this ‘Kooky’ editorial shot by Jam and styled by Jo Schlenzka from the new 10 magazine? 

Take a combination of all the above and you get a lot of mixed checks and plaids.  There isn’t really a point of doing the mixed pattern thing half heartedly so you might as well just purposely wear as many as possible with no aim of matching the colours colours.  Though I think sticking to one type of pattern helps hammer the point of your outfit in so I’ve gone for the check/plaid.  If I had bigger plethora of checks/plaids to choose from, I’d go for a clash of BIG sized checks/plaids with smaller ones.
