Through the Looking Glass

I am recently obsessed with Downton Abbey (thanks, Mom and CJ)- and a recent episode had a great one liner from the Dowager Countess of Grantham which inspired today's post...  "Have we all stepped through the Looking Glass?" (I always loved Alice in Wonderland)  I digress.  Onto fashion.

I am noticing a great trend as all the Spring 2013 catalogs arrived...the windowpane check!  Gents have benefited more from this great pattern than us ladies, so I am happy we are sharing the wealth a bit more.  Graphic prints look to be big so stick with the classic combos of navy/white or black/white for versatility.

I'm liking this with the wide belt.  I would even swap it out for a solid color to add pizazz!

The boys get all the fun...so classic.

I so wish I had somewhere to wear this!

JCrew sequin shift $495.00

 I am kind of liking the yellow one...

Overstock.com $40.06

God, I love Kate Spade.

Carolina Top $248.00

 So while you will still see lots of stripes and polka dots this spring, venture into fresh territory with the windowpane check.  I think you'll like what you see :)
