Hello middle of the work week! Am I the only one counting down the days until Friday? Today’s gray skies sure made me want to stay in bed and snuggle.  Lets be real, I had to drag myself out of my bed and be a grown up by getting my butt to the office.  Cold days call for a warm and cozy sweater just like this new oxblood sweater I picked up.  I happen to love this oxblood short sweater paired with the houndstooth skirt I picked up on clearance this past weekend as well. Oopps, I told you the colder months were all set in my wardrobe with all the cozy sweaters I picked up that were marked down. Plus, my minor skirt addiction at the moment. 🙂

This pattern always reminds me of my college apparel merchandising courses. Memories of setting out all my swatches on our apartment floor to study for an exam and my roommate seriously confused I had to know all those fabrics. Good ole’ college days!

What do you think of when you see this houndstooth pattern?

XOXO,

Jessica
