"Houndstooth"

A popular pattern seen this fall is houndstooth aka dogstooth. As with everything else in fashion this pattern has of course repeated itself, because I remember my mom wearing the pattern when I was a little girl. The two-toned pattern consists of small broken or jagged checks reminiscent of the jagged back teeth of a hound. Since my Shih Tzu Bubba has the most jacked up teeth in the world I felt it was neccessary to include him in my pics...LOL!!!
I found this houndstooth blazer for $5.25 during one of my thirfting shopping days. I paired it with black skinnies and one of my favorite pairs of shoes to add a pop of color.

This is one of my thrift store testiomonies...lol. I found this brooch along with some earrings at a Value Village. When I was in DC recently I took it to a designer boutique to see if it was real or faux. The owner of the boutique appraised it and is official circa 1982!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 I really don't know why I have the "someone just ran over my dog" sad face in this pic..oh wells.

    Love the shoe color with the houndstooth! I did a post on bloggers wearing houndstooth for the Huffington Post -- I pretty regularly do style round-ups like that. You should take part! If you follow me on Twitter, you'll see when I'm looking for submissions. @WendyBrandes
