The print I will never tire of... houndstooth.

…and just to prove how extra I can be, I paired this ensemble with a houndstooth tote. A bit much? Perhaps. My coat is on super sale so grab it now! I’ve been wanting one for years and this oversized version fit the bill. It’s all about the details. The ruched sleeves, the oversized lapel and the large-scale pattern. I will never tire of houndstooth. This is a print for all generations.

In other news, I took an unexpected hiatus from the blog after a strong start to the new year. Frankly, I just needed it which is confusing given we got off holiday break but I digress… The real reason I took a break is because I had a bad case of writer’s block and I was utterly unmotivated. Work has been busy in the best kind of way hence I wanted to ride the wave. I still am but I am popping in to say “hi” and acknowledge that winter is here…but make it fashion! xo
