Spring weather has finally arrived! I am so excited to finally wear a skirt WITHOUT tights and boots! It seems like it has been years. 

I pulled this skirt out of the bottom of my closet as I've been dying to wear something other than pants lately. Rediscovering old favorites can be so fun. I've worn this skirt before (here and here) and definitely prefer pairing it with brighter colors. I love the way the pink pops against the black and white.

What is your favorite way to wear houndstooth?

Because houndstooth is such a popular pattern these days, I decided to post a couple of different ways to wear it. I tend to stay on the safe side with houndstooth and pair it with a solid color (as seen here) versus another print, although I am sure it would look great with another pattern in the same colors. 

In my first post, I paired this skirt with a bright color as it was still much warmer outside. Today, because the fall weather has set in, I decided to go with a darker color scheme and add a splash of color with my bubble necklace. 

Which pairing do you like more?

Recently, I have been really into skirts-- especially those with lots of color and/or patterns. I started looking for a black and white skirt a few months ago and found this. I love that skirt because of how versatile it is-- so I wanted to find more black and white options. I came across this houndstooth one and it was exactly what I was looking for. I love this pattern because of how incredibly versatile it is. Plus, it really plays into my recent obsession with patterns.

The best part of houndstooth is you can really wear it with anything. Because the pattern is small and the colors are simple, it can go with just about any color (and maybe even another pattern!) I am still new to the world of mixing patterns (as seen here) but hopefully next time I wear this I can switch it up a little with another pattern in the mix.
