Houndstooth Honey


Most of my favorite eras are coming back to life. The 60's happened to be a fabulous time. Twiggy entered our worlds and all of sudden we were wearing knee high white boots and boxy dresses with funky patterns. Take houndstooth, a pattern so funky it's getting it's own entry. A few celebs have taken it upon themselves to try this fabulous pattern. It is everywhere! The celebs seem to covet the black and white version of the print, but let's be honest, there are other ways to wear this esteemed pattern. 


I, of course, had my first taste of the pattern at Forever 21. The dress is absolutely darling. I snatched it up before anyone else could. Honestly, the pattern is so flattering! As with everything, there can be some outfits that will be quite overdone, but every silhouette I come across, I cannot find one that I truly dislike. I've compiled a few dresses that may interest you.


Macy's $39.99


Charlotte Russe $24.99


ASOS $50.32 (my favorite!)

And I will share my look with you, mes chèrs. Again, my dress is from Forever 21 and was only $19.80. It is sold out online, but I'm sure some stores will still have it in stock. Generally, I wear little jewelry because the pattern speaks for itself. I try to wear just basic black tights if it is too cold. I try to keep the shoes as authentic as possible, but considering how I don't really have the right shoes I want for the dress, I wear my Mary Janes. However, ModCloth has a great selection of shoes and any other 60's Mod items you could want.
