Prince of Wales check, along with hounds tooth, is a huge trend for Autumn / Fall. I find it very exciting - I don't remember these styles being in fashion for a very long time. I recall having a hounds tooth jacket in my teens!
I'm wearing a new arrival at Boden, British tweed pencil skirt in Prince of Wales check, in fallen fruit (there are three other colourways). The UK weather is unusually great for a public holiday at present, so I didn't wear it with a jumper (sweater) as planned but with a silk shirt in millennial pink. My pink sandals with silver block heels and slouchy velvet hobo bag finished off the look, along with a couple of cocktail rings.
I have some more hounds tooth and PoW check on the way: the latest Next collection has many desirable items and I have ordered a coat and jacket.
On the subject of Prince of Wales, I'm going to be talking about Prince Charles and the 20th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana in Mutton's Choice Cuts later this week. Gird your loins for controversy!

So pretty in pink, Gail. Never thought of this fabric for summer but it certainly works with the pink shirt and sandals. It's so unusual to have that check in something like a fallen fruits colourway so I look forward to seeing you transition this.
ReplyDeleteAnd my loins are girded! I picked up on something new (to me) recently so I'm on tenterhooks awaiting your controversial piece!
Hugs, x.
That sounds intriguing Mary, I wonder what your titbit is! I'm glad you like my "fallen fruits" skirt. How do they come up with these names?!
DeleteGail---this is such a gorgeous outfit!!

Hounds tooth is such a classic print. I have quite a few vintage 1960's and 50's pencil skirts with that print.
ReplyDeleteI love it mixed with the pink. It works wonderfully with your complexion.
I happened by a Joseph Ribkoff today that you may be interested in. Let me know at info@bisous.biz and I can shoot you an email with photos.

I have seen more plaid and houndstooth recently shopping on-line. Love the skirt and how you accentated it with pink. Very pretty/classic look
