Hello everyone, welcome! I am Catherine, and I will be your writer/thought provoker/fashion advisor and frankly anything you want me to be. I thought I would start this blog off by giving you an introduction; a first impression. I’ll put this simply, fashion is my muse. If Harper’s Bazaar was a Chemistry textbook, I would have discovered the cure for cancer. I marvel at upscale editorials and the prevailing tastes in state-of-the-art couture. Fashion is an adrenaline pumping unceasing narrative of the prior eras. In other words, Chic. This incentive is what brings me here. The vision for Outside the Tartan initially sparked while I was browsing through some online shops. Scrolling through, pondering the distinct garments, my impression of each one was different. I would share these thoughts in my head, maybe smirk a little at a harsh Anna Wintour-worthy remark-FYI She’s the sassy, daring editor-in-chief of Vogue. When I closed my device, a peculiar feeling hit me. I began to think what would result if these thoughts came to life. My fashion assessments public, thriving on a paragraph of text, being read by viewers, creating a society of other original opinions as diverse as the fashion world itself. The remarkable overwhelming notion filled me with adrenaline; the type that is relieving, fulfilling, and full of hope. I am now here making this fantasy a reality, and ready to delight you on an extraordinary ride through the wonders of fashion. For us, a step Outside the Tartan.

XO

Catherine
