WiW: 2.12 - Houndstooth!

I finally had some time last night to tailor this dress I had found on eBay; although it was a larger size, it was quite a steal and I am hoping that this fun houndstooth may be a more "grown up" version of the fun conversational prints I love - sometimes you have to look a little more grown up, right?

My rebellious side chose the purple tights though! Yeah! :D

    Did you taylor it yourself? You did a great job! I like that you added the purple, too.

    I can't see the purple tights that well. But I love the dress. A small shift from quirky Lyn :)

    Houndstooth is one of my favorite prints (along with glen plaid).  It is a classic that just always looks good, lovely paired with purple.  I also think it will pair well with red.

    I love black white and blue. The white brings out the richness of the blue. Love this outfit!

    I'm deeply impressed by tailoring skills!  And the houndstooth print is so graphically fab.
