Feck me.
I think I may be a Chav.
And, before you start going all bombastic on my arse, let me first explain why.
I kinda have a thing for tracksuits. And, not just any kind of track suit – it has to be one with a hoodie … which ye know is the Chav dress code of choice.
Eek.
It really all started because of the school pick up scene back in Florida … which I prefer to look on as my Sporty Spice period.
On the very odd (bahahahaha) occasion that I was running late to drop off or pick up my children, my go-to outfit would be a track suit. It was what I considered a win-win school run fashion outfit because picking up your kids in work-out gear is always acceptable, right?
But, then I arrived here in the UK and learned more about Chavs and their… erm … rather unique sense of style. Comparisons were noted, I was mortified and all, no way.
That’s not me?
Surely?
Maybe?
I do like tracksuits, but WTF?
I should have foreseen this because now I think back to when I was packing and organizing clothes — I had gone in to a little used drawer and found about 19 pairs of tracksuits. I put a tweet out there along the lines of “how many tracksuits does one woman need” and got several replies teasing me I sounded a bit Chavish.
Mmmmmmmm.
So, feck yeah … I guess I could well be a Chav … but then so too would every other mum making the school run in her work-out gear.

bwhahahahaha!!! Too funny!! I agree…picking up my kiddos in workout apparrel is always ok. Makes me look like I’m on top of things (if only in my head…but that’s ok!)
If it looks good boo, rock it!
So is that a new word? “feck” or is it for the real work F?
I thing Chav’s have now moved on to pajama bottoms. The classier ones probably wear pajama jeans- google it. you know you want to!
Haha! If you have just been working out or just about to then you can maybe be forgiven.. But I fear you are on a slippery slope – you’ll be in Waitrose in your pyjamas before you know it
Don’t think Chav. Channel Sue Sylvester and hold your head high.
I only ever sleep in tracksuit bottoms… maybe I am a Chav too as they wear PJ’s out during the day now don’t they?!
Here in the New country we don’t care what you wear as long as you pick up your kids!
