Houndstooth for the Holidays

Remember last week when I talked about how impressed I was with Foxcroft’s new prints?  Well, I’m wearing another Foxcroft print today, and let me just tell you, I’m still impressed:




I love a big, bold print and this black and yellow houndstooth is just that.  Like the vintage royal print, this print has a throwback vibe that I’m absolutely loving.  


It’s a little 80s, a little 90s and lot wonderful:


Blouse: c/o Foxcroft  Skirt: Old Navy (similar longer)  Tights: Spanx   Boots: Splendid (similar)


Patterned shirts like this one are on Foxcroft’s Holiday Checklist as a must-have for the holiday closet and, I must say, I couldn't agree more.  Printed shirts are just so versatile.  Today I paired it with a simple skirt and tights:



But it’s also the perfect layering piece to add color, interest and throwback flare to winter outfits.

In fact, I'd say there is really only one con about this blouse.  And that is that the blouse's wrinkle-free crispness tends to highlight the fact that I should have ironed my wrinkle-full skirt but didn't because I prefer sleeping in to ironing.  It is otherwise perfect.

Also pretty perfect are the rest of Foxcroft's holiday must-haves; you can see the rest of the Holiday Checklist here.


Happy Wednesday, All!
