OOTD: Itty Bitty Houndstooth

Last month, I expressed my new-found love for the Fall 2013 print houndstooth (see previous post: Must-Have Fall Prints: Houndstooth). These days I’m embracing this classic black and white trend in real life! I got this button-up collared top last week from Kohl’s. It’s called a No Iron top by Chaps because it’s made with wrinkle-resistant fabric. This is amazing because I really don’t like to iron and these types of tops tend to get wrinkled easily! I love this top because it was affordable (only $39.99, plus Kohls always has great coupons) and it is the epitome of chic with the black and white print and classic silhouette. The houndstooth print is small-scaled so it’s really versatile to style.
I paired the houndstooth top with a forest green piped a-line skirt from Banana Republic. It’s on sale on their website for $79.99, but I also used a 40% off coupon. Can’t beat that! The deep hue is perfect for the Fall and Winter seasons and it has trendy leather detailing on it. It’s both flattering and comfortable! I accessorized with this amazing elongated bow belt that I got from White House Black Market. It was actually advertised in Marie Claire magazine when it first came out. I ordered it online on sale and it was SO worth it because it goes with almost anything. It jazzes up any look!

    A no wrinkle shirt sounds awesome! I'm not a huge fan of ironing either so I need one of these. Your bow belt is an adorable touch!
