houndstooth

Tristan bow sweater, thrifted; houndstooth pencil skirt, thrifted; Anne Klein knee socks, Camper Peu boots

This week has been fairly hectic (I`m sensing a pattern...) so I haven't been allowing for a couple of minutes when I get home to document stuff.  Which I usually regret, since you never remember what it was made an outfit work!!

I`ve had this 80`s era lime green houndstooth pencil skirt for a year or so, but never wore it- it was too boxy, and I always just found wearing a dress to be easier.  However the colour is delicious, and now that I am wholeheartedly embracing the idea of skirts (from pencil, to tulip) I thought I could take this out for a spin.  I really just had to take it in slightly at the hip to fit- a couple of stitches.

Something I've been looking for awhile is a black knit with a bow or tie at the neck- just never found many to choose from.  I finally found one at Value Village a few weeks back- it's a Canadian brand- Tristan and Iseut, a pretty good fit and, best of all, magically cat fur repulsing (oh what a sweet characteristic!).  So when I came across a See by Chloé lime green houndstooth skirt online I thought hmmmm....oh right...!
