I love the retro vibe of the wide leg trousers, and the VC slacks with the side stripe always look gorgeous.

Full on houndstooth is quite powerful and you are the woman who can carry it off!  Who knew houndtooth and birds could get along so well!

It's a lot of stress to do the driving back and forth. You looked amazing for that visit; I'll bet it made your parents proud. I really like the second look, too. It's weird how difficult it is to photograph mint; I've noticed that before. Of course I'm a huge fan of houndstooth so I can't disagree with a houndstooth KNIT!!!!  annagybe on "WIW 4/23, 24, 25: Catching Up" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-423-24-25-catching-up#post-1233496 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 21:00:00 +0000 annagybe 1233496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #1 is good.

Houndstooth pants:  Vince Camuto Striped sweater:  hand me down from a friend Black knit blazer:  Gibson Black and white oxfords:  Doc Marten Megapearl pendant:  ASOS Red satchel:  Banana Republic 3/4.  This is a copycat from Pinterest using my famous Substituting The Bottoms For The Tops Technique.  ;)  I'm just sorry the mint shirt is a little washed out in the photo because I was ridiculously happy with this color combination.  I especially love how my pumps match my blazer! Gray wide leg pants:  YLF swap Mint shirt:  Jones New York Cognac blazer:  Amber Sun "Reptile" belt:  Target "Python" satchel:  Elliott Lucca Cognac pumps:  Nine West 5/6.  Today I'm going Full Houndstooth.  I bought this blazer and skirt at last year's Shoptoberfest (18 months or more ago) and I am tickled to be seeing so many houndstooth looks showing up on Pinterest now!  These pieces are knit so it's as comfy as pajamas! Houndstooth blazer and skirt:  Ellen Tracy Black blouse:  Comptoir Des Cotonniers White belt:  thrifted Black quilted clutch:  Topshop Red pumps:  Nine West And may I say this black clutch is turning into a real wardrobe workhorse!  I got it at the end of January and this is its 14th outing already!  :) Thanks for looking and commenting, ladies!  I always appreciate your input and insights!
