Wow. This is one of my faves on you, ever.

The houndstooth and quilted red purse combo is fantastic! May have to figure out a way to do a copycat with Ms. Scarlet! And I love the asymmetric tank, it keeps it from being pure classic. Haha, I had the same thing happen to me when I wore an asymmetric Helmut Lang sweater and was wearing DS2 in a carrier--someone grabbed my sweater and tried to tug the hem down because they thought it was crooked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-boxy-houndstooth#post-1163839 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:16:32 +0000 Lisa 1163839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This jacket hits you at just the right spot for pairing with a dress.&nbsp; I also think it could work well with a long flowy tunic style top perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-boxy-houndstooth#post-1163667 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 17:03:05 +0000 Amy 1163667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit!

I really like your asymmetrical tank. Your jacket is making me think of one in the back of my closet, which I used to like a lot but haven't worn for a long time. Hmmm.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-boxy-houndstooth#post-1163398 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:47:59 +0000 April 1163398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now&nbsp;<u>that's</u> how booties are supposed to fit! &nbsp; :)</p> <p>Well done. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-boxy-houndstooth#post-1163397 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:47:17 +0000 Joyce B 1163397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty!

Another fab outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-boxy-houndstooth#post-1163383 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:30:02 +0000 Ornella 1163383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!</p> <p>The asymmetrical neckline is great, the jacket is perfect and the red handbag is the yummy finishing touch.</p> <p>I love how the light hose match your hair and jacket, but also&nbsp;wonder what the outfit looks like with opaque hose (column of black?), just as a comparison. Probably more suitable for an evening look?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-boxy-houndstooth#post-1163382 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:29:46 +0000 Deborah 1163382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes yes yes:). That top has such a good neckline. It adds a little something to each outfit you wear it with. I still like the jacket and the hint of retro it brings (the hounds tooth) and I am pleased to see those booties, I have a bit of a shoe crush on these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-boxy-houndstooth#post-1163380 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:28:35 +0000 donnat 1163380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is the perfect little boxy houndstooth. You are such an inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-boxy-houndstooth#post-1163376 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:23:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1163376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie mentioned that cropped and boxy jackets were trending for spring and I'm hoping my old houndstooth jacket fits that style. The jacket was my starting point for today's outfit.</p> <p>I popped the jacket over top my trusty asymmetrical ruched tank (I think the CPW is so low on this tank by now that it owes me money - lol!) and black knit pencil skirt. I added sheer black hose (it's not too cold today) and then my little bit of edge to the outfit comes from my Doc Marcie boots. I added an oversized black and white watch and silver wedding band for jewelry and finished off the outfit with my red quilted handbag, red lipstick and red specs.</p> <p>So what do you think? Does it all work together?
