Houndstooth

Aren't these pants fun? They're so loud you can spot me from anywhere! The thing that I love most about them is that they're very stretchy and they hug the body in the right places. Of course... I wish they were a bit longer (I know, that's ALWAYS the problem.), but since they were on sale at H&M for only $15... I'll let that part slide.

Having such loud pants, I wanted to keep the top neutral with a pop of colour, so a simple black tank top paired with my faithful mustard yellow cardigan did the trick. I got many complements on both the pants and the mustard cardigan, so I'm sure I'm going to wear this outfit out again!

Fun Fact for Fun Pants: The houndstooth pattern is called the chicken's foot or "pied de poule" in French. Interesting eh? The things you learn sitting next to a Quebecois at work.

Outfit: H&M houndstooth pants (similar, similar in darksimilar in light); Forever21 black tank (here);
Lefties mustard cardigan (similar); Aldo 'Falge' booties (here);
Accessories: Chanel  'Jumbo Double Flap' in black caviar; Tudor 'Oyster Princess Date' watch

  2. I think the length of the pants works really well here! It's got that funky, cropped pant look that make them great for summer. For winter, maybe you could just cover it with boots.
