Finishing off January with a monochromatic, mixed pattern, eye sore and potential seizure inducing extravaganza. This is a minimalist outfit that makes the most out of two very distinct pieces.

 
 

I started with the leather collar houndstooth dress and then just kept things very simple and elegant with the sheer tights, fedora and vintage men's wingtip tassel loafers. It was this dress that I had worn underneath a black and white striped vintage dress from earlier in the month, but I had worn it just for the leather collar. This time, I'm showing off the dress in its entirety, but with an added twist. :DDD

 
 

The outfit looks painfully normal without a coat. It wasn't terribly cold, as it was in the 40's. I know! I can hardly believe it, myself. o_O So, I could have gone without a coat, but I decided to use outerwear to my advantage and value aesthetics over practicality. A black coat would have sealed the deal just fine, but I thought I'd kick things up a notch by wearing a coat with the exact same pattern scheme. In this way, I created something that's very meta. Hehe. The outfit basically looks the same with the coat buttoned up and with the coat removed. I very much enjoy engaging in this kind of witchcraft. >:D


So, as much as I try to avoid wearing black during the winter months, I feel somewhat vindicated, because I made an effort to use the color in the most interesting way possible. However, for some much needed color contrast, I added the bright blue bag. As you know, I just love black and blue, so I couldn't resist. Also, wearing a black bag would have been totally acceptable, but it would have represented a missed opportunity, in my mind. If you have the chance to do something unexpected, you should take it. I think this advice is well worth taking, not just with regard to fashion, but also in my personal life. <3

I totally agree with you about black ad bright colors - the outfit would have been good with a black coat and black bag, but then? Why do we have to wear black in the winter? I am seeing lately a lot of grey, camel, black - although the outfits are nice, they look like uniforms - nothing wrong with that, but I love a twist. This bag is amazing and goes so well with the cat and the leather collar dress! I think you look amazing! Hope you have a very lovely day!

I love the coat! I found one at the thrift store a few weeks ago but it was dry clean only and had a stain :-( so I had to leave it behind.

OMG so much houndstooth!!! So good. That coat is absolutely on point.

Is there such thing as too much houndstooth? We can safely say no, no there is not!
