Making a Statement in Houndstooth Trousers

04/17/20 | Christian Louboutin, David Yurman, Fashion Friday, Kate Spade, Spring Style

Houndstooth Trousers in London

Last night we got the news that the UK is continuing it’s lockdown for the next three weeks.  And honestly, I thought I was going to be a lot more bummed but I resigned myself a little while ago that this situation is going to be months, not days or weeks.  I have to admit though I am very excited that I moved in with my boyfriend a week before this started and that we are settling in nicely to our new flat.  

The one thing I was thinking about is that new content during quarantine was going to be quite difficult – both in terms of not being about to go outside and not having access to my usual photographers.  However, over the weekend we took a few steps outside our apartment building in London and my boyfriend snapped these photos which I actually really like.  Talking after the shoot my boyfriend had no idea what I meant when I said houndstooth trousers and called these the “black and white pants that are bit floupy at the top”.  And by his made up word floupy that means he did not like them. Well, similar to this leather trousers look that means he was not a fan but to each there own! 

That said, since they are such a statement print I decided to go all neutral with the rest of my look – black for the majority with a pop of pink in the lip. And looking at these shots it reminds me I really need to take these Christian Louboutins to be resoled when this is all over!   For now, take a look at how I styled these pants:

    Hey Gorgeous! you look fabulous. The collection was pretty cool, catchy & bold. I love your fashion style. Including that, you can also add sexy corset, Cosabella Bralette for unique style and great support. Adding them in the closet is one of the best stylings ways for every season.

    Hey! You are looking so beautiful in this outfit. Your sense of style is expressed through the clothing and accessories you wear and the way you’re groomed. I agree that We can express ourselves through clothing. Our clothing represents a lot about our personalities and lifestyle. I would love to wear this outfit with my simple shawl scarf. In these days Shawl scarf is a huge trend. Thanks for the post.
