houndstooth.

Nothing says cold-weather is here like a little houndstooth.  The well-known pattern was originally used in a weaving technique of wool cloth, but it now comes in different materials, sizes, and colors.  Time to inject a little bit (or a lot!) of this preppy pattern into my winter wardrobe!

The temperature’s cooling down and so is my color palette.  Breezy weather (hellooo wind) means busting out my favorite blue blazer.  In sticking with the cool temp and tones theme, I threw the blazer over a turquoise dress and purple necklace.  I can only hope this weather is finally here to stay.

My love for oversized sweaters is back, just in time for cooler weather.  You might remember this top in blue from a few weeks ago.  I also bought a dusty rose version and balanced its looseness with a pair of temp appropriate tights and boots.  This look makes me feel like cooler weathers are finally here to stay, but I guess that’ll be up to mother nature to decide.
