Houndstooth Tweed // New In



Remember when I mentioned my intention to get a wireless remote so I could take my own photos more frequently? Well, that has yet to happen. Instead, when faced with both rain & lack of photographer today, I decided to be "resourceful". AKA stack of books on my bistro table (who needs a tripod anyways...), self-timer.... you get the picture. Not my most glorious of photographic moments, but I really wanted to share my new Houndstooth Tweed Pleated Skirt with you!


New pieces seem to slowly trickle into my wardrobe, rather than quickly pile up via shopping sprees. I have to give credit to one of my co-workers for this fabulous find. She pointed me in the direction of Zara after work last night & a whopping $12 later this cute skirt was added to my closet. I decided to pair it with one of my older turtle-neck dresses; the tulle bottom gives the skirt a little more body. A key charm pinned onto one of the pockets; gold chain necklace doubled as a bracelet; & my peep-toe Steve Madden pumps which have certainly seen their day. 


What do you think of my latest piece? :)







I was wearing:
Houndstooth Tweed skirt - Zara
Turtleneck dress with tulle bottom - Forever 21 (old)
Multi-strand chain (as bracelet) - Forever 21 (old)
Peep-toe Heels - Steve Madden (old)

    That skirt is SO cute. I've had to resort to self-timer pictures a couple of times too.. made me so much more grateful for the times when I do have a photographer! xo

    Very cute outfit. I like the idea of all black with one big pop of color. I like how its houndstooth tweed, & not just in typical b&w. Nice layout.

    You have such an enviable figure! I love how resourceful you were with the camera too, the photos came out great. I never shop in Zara for some reason, but I always see people getting some lovely pieces from there, so I should definitely go there more! The skirt is gorgeous, I love the colours in it and the key charm on the pocket! xo
