Hound About Town

Not to be repetitive, but in my last post I lamented about my dismay with some of the new styles coming down the pipeline at J. Crew. Scanning through the latest crop of new arrivals for May definitely confirmed my thoughts about this. I saw one thing that I wanted, and it happened to be from the "collection", which is the pricier tier of clothing from the brand. Long gone are the days of lusting after piece after piece.

For example, when this "Pixelated" houndstooth skirt came out two years ago I was completely sold on it. In fact, I was so enthusiastic, I think I bought it at almost full price with just a mere extra 30% off new arrivals discount. However, I am a sucker for anything with a houndstooth print. Maybe it's the fact that the word "hound" is in the name? Or maybe it's that the print some how manages to be simultaneously classic and modern at the same time? Or maybe I still have aspirations to be like Gwen Stefani circa the "Rock Steady" years when she did an entire video clad in houndstooth?  Whatever it is, I can't get enough. Do you have a particular print that you love more than anything?

Below is a close up of my new necklace from LOFT. I thought the pictures above didn't do it justice, so I added this one for a closer look. It has almost a South West vibe with the faux turquoise. Also, it's now on super sale at an extra 60% off sale at LOFT!
