Today the
Inspiration Calendar called for "Layer a patterned blazer over a simple dress". I wish I had a more "fun patterned" blazer, but I'm kind of lacking in blazers so a simple houndstooth it is. Since I went with black on black accessories with the necklace and belt I opted to toss on some berry colored tights to add a bit of color. I would have prefered a different shoe, but my menswear inspired pumps need some insoles as they are a bit big, and these were easy to grab along with being comfortable. Sometimes you just have to go with what is easy!

Yet again, you have exceeded my expectations with this post! Love it!! :)
And houndstooth is ALWAYS a good choice! The berry tights are a fabulous touch.
I was actually thinking this morning that I should check the calendar for some help but I don't have a patterned blazer! I love the way this looks. The colored tights are a great touch. I really want to buy a pair in that color too for the same reason.
i don't think houndstooth is simple! since the print is oversized, it's actually quite bold and i love it with the berry tights and gray shoes.
Don't hate on houndstooth! This blazer is fab and you look great. The tights are perfect with this!
Cute cute blazer... I have a bit of a blazer problem... there are just so many cute one at thrift stores and now I have like forty of them... oops? Loving the berry tights too!
LOVE those berry tights! And the houndstooth jacket is just the right touch :) A+++
