Socialite Saturday

Hello lovely Blends! Hope you are having a terrific weekend. I've always loved anything and everything plaid. Tweed, toile and tartan aside I'm curious what you all think of Burberry.  Husband and I don't have a lot of it but my Father always had a trench coat for the rain from Burberry.

Tacky or Traditional?

  4. It's definitely trad...but like anything, it can be tacky when the masses have access to it. Just like Coach and other brands, as long as average people can buy it they will want the most logo possible so their friends know what they spent. A nice trench or even a riding jacket with the plaid showing a bit at the cuff is timeless.

  6. I agree with Suburban Princess. A trench, a scarf and a riding jacket should be the limit. I have both the camel plaid and the navy plaid scarf, a raincoat and a umbrella that is so old that it says Burberry's. Oh I forgot, I have a navy wool military coat that is also a Burberry's. I think head to toe Burberry is too much.

  7. Over here at the Blue Barn - I wear a ton of Burberry. I consider their clothing an investment and I have taken the time to make selections appropriately. If you go beyond the plaid, Burberry has some exceptional items that are worth the investment. I have at least one "fancy" outfit per season that is Burberry. The cut and style works well with my figure and I can wear many of their things to assorted events and over all the seasons. Most of the time, people do not realise it is Burberry because it is such a great, classic fit made of quality materials. If you are looking for something special - I highly recommend Burberry.

  8. I think it's a fine line. I like my scarf and umbrella, and I think their jackets are high quality, but it's done wrong by so many people. Suburban Princess nailed it on the head.

  12. I also love Burberry, and own several pieces. One scarf, one handbag, and two watches (one gold tank, one tradition plaid with silver accents). NEVER are any of those items worn together - one piece at a time for me. :-) XOXO

  15. I have those Burberry heels, love 'em! Although they aren't the most comfy heels!

    My Burberry phase officially ended about 3-4 years ago, although I still love my Burberry Quilted jacket, umbrella, earmuffs, etc.

    I gave all my Burberry purses and wallets away to family members. ;)
