Houndstooth is no different than plaid, stripes, or polka dots – it will never go out of style. Maybe the garment styles and silhouettes will change, but the print itself will remain the same and classic as ever. After digging through some old jackets and coats, when I came across this oldie but a goodie, I knew it was time to mix up some “vintage” and contemporary styles. There is nothing more flashy than a black and white ensemble with a pop of red. Naturally, I went for the bright tomato “It’s a Kind of Magic” romper. I’ve owned this racy onsie for quite a while, but had a hard time figuring out what to wear over it, without taking away from its flavor. This jacket worked perfectly because the open front didn’t take away from the plunging neckline, or the pleated shorts. To sweeten the look up just a tad, I accessorized with my go-to pearl necklace and my delicate pearl bracelet. I polished off the look with a clean black purse and solid black Chinese Laundry dress sandals.

Meet the “Bright Mind Chartreuse Lace Romper!” This spicy number is great for warm weather destinations and perfect for your after dinner affair. The lace back will keep you cool and the chartreuse color is killer – not to mention easy to match with. While you might be thinking, “I would never wear an open back romper,” hear me out! Easily pair a white, ivory, navy, or even magenta cropped blazer or cape with this piece for a more conservative look. The cropped detail is key because you do not want to cover up the pleats on the shorts. I went with a cape, the “Proper Education White Cropped Jacket” to be exact, that I am absolutely in love with. This gem is perfect for just about anything. I already demonstrated how to style it over a romper, but it would be adorable over a fitted dress, and your go-to jeans outfit. I hope you like it as much as I do because you’re going to be seeing it all over KK and GG. Did I mention it is only $49 from lulu*s?! To accessorize this look, I fastened a thin belt around my waist, hung a bedazzled necklace around my neck, and popped in some matching stud earrings. Finally, I threw on my nude pumps and grabbed my multi-colored woven clutch. I’ll be on the Las vegas strip wearing this bright thing, what occasion did you have in mind?
