Check Please!




I am a pushover for houndstooth, it is a classic print that is totally timeless... There are a few easy rules to follow to keep it looking chic, if you're wearing the traditional black and white pattern as your dress, top or skirt keep the rest of your look simple with solid black or white pieces. You can add a pop of colour (red looks amazing) with your purse or shoes for a modern touch. If you feel that it's a little too bold for you try adding a houndstooth shawl or clutch to your little black dress ensemble or a houndstooth ballet flat or pump paired with skinny jeans and a solid colour turtleneck for an adorable weekend look. Houndstooth can come in a variety of colours, it looks amazing in bright bold hues but remember to keep the other pieces more monochromatic to avoid looking clownish... For the daring fashionista you can actually mix houndstooth pieces, play with scale and proportions for a fresh fun vibe. My dress was another $19.90 find from H&M, I've worn this dress for day and night about a hundred different ways! Regardless of how you rock your houndstooth it will work for many years and seasons to come, so hang on to it you will never be at a loss for options.
