Skirt, Express (thrifted). Sweater, Charlotte Russe. Tights, We Love Colors. Peeptoes, BCBGeneration. Pencil necklace, Tristate Antique Market.This is the second Express brand houndstooth skirt I’ve thrifted. The pattern on the first skirt didn’t meet well at the side seam. This skirt does a little better.
Don’t you just love houndstooth? And red and purple, too?
Okay, I LOVE a traditional pattern, and houndstooth fits the bill. And you know, pairing it with the purple and red is kind of genius. But the color of those tights is key, I think--so vibrant and saturated.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! Simple on top, and then so unexpected on your legs. I think you'd make the Red Hatters proud :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this colour combo. I want to try it out for myself soon!
ReplyDeleteKasmira, happy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that you share the same birthday with Marie Antoinette? No wonder you have the same taste in fashion as Marie Antoinette is also a fashion setter of her time ^__^
XoXo,

awesome combo!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this! The purple and red is bold but with the black and white on top it doesn't seem too much at all! Fabulous look.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this - the red and purple togther is just fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! It looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteWow! You look amazing!! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVa-va-voom, lady! What a great look. You'd knock the hats off the other society members, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this look! Now I want to go out and buy some purple tights and try it myself :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! The purple and red look amazing together! And I love the pose with your foot propped on the books - so cute! I love the juxtaposition of the conservative upper half (black and houndstooth) and the crazy lower half. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe black and white helps keep the purple and red under control - I love this! Those shoes rock!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you found a better houndstooth skirt (you know I love houndstooth!).
Love this outfit. I love the skirt with the purple tights, and the tights and shoes together. The cut of everything looks great on you. Love the whole outfit. I also really like the pictures, with the purple wall, and the books on the floor.
ReplyDeleteI can't beleive I am going to say this since there is a lot going on, but I think it almost looks subdued. Maybe it's the conservative/classic houndstooth pattern that does it? I love it! It's by far my favorite of your red hat society experiemnts.
ReplyDeleteOK, This?
ReplyDeleteIS AMAZING.
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG!~
I mean I give it two thums up and a double jazz hands.
*jazz hands*
For sho.
Also, A+ on having that VB book. It's aces.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I just love the vibrant red and purple together -- I definitely need to try this look!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The simple skirt and top balance the skirt and tights beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI la la la love this look. It's retro chic. Love it!
ReplyDeletei just love this and will definitely be copying soon! long live the red hat experiments!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love everything about this outfit!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous! I just found a new life for my purple tights.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the houndstooth plues red/purple. I wonder how this would have gone with a purple top, black tights and the red shoes to tone down the crazy legs with a conservative top?
ReplyDeleteYay for houndstooth !
ReplyDeletethis gives me all sorts of ideas :)
