HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! I hope everyone had a fantastic new years! It just seems like 2014 started yesterday and I can’t believe its already over. With every new year most people make resolutions and some people follow through with them but in most cases (including myself) people tend to give up after february. I have learned over the years that it is best to make small goals throughout the year! It is much easier to work towards a smaller goal than to give up completely. Some of my goals this year include traveling more and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
I wanted to share this look because it is one of my go to outfits! Houndstooth has been around for many years and it is one of my favorite prints. I love statement pants and when I saw these houndstooth pants online I knew these would soon became a favorite. They are so versatile and can be styled in so many ways and you can wear houndstooth in pretty much any season. I try to wear simpler tops with printed pants. Don’t get me wrong, I am a proponent of print on print, however I wanted to keep this outfit very simple.
I decided to pair these pants with a simple black sweater. The one thing I love about this sweater is the peek-a-boo style in the arms and down the side. It adds and unexpected element to a regular pullover. You can also pair these pants with a simple black tee in the summer or a bright colored top if you don't want to go for the black and white look.
I am absolutely in love with these boots. I think everyone should have a pair of basic black booties that you can wear with any outfit. I recently got these boots from Gilt and I have been wearing them a lot! Even though the hell is pretty high, these boots are very comfortable and stylish.
