There’s not been much in the way of new TV thanks to the Winter Olympics (I have finally watched Orange is the New Black thanks to the extra time), we do still have something on out wish list from the last episode episode of New Girl and that is Jess’ houndstooth cap sleeves dress.
As mentioned in my review I’m a little into the houndstooth at the moment and if you’re a regular TV Ate My Wardrobe reader you will know that I have a penchant for all the tooths – hounds, puppy and dog – and for the costuming on New Girl. Putting the two together means an instant place on the wish list. This dress is from Aqua and is currently a steal as it’s more than half price. The belt is a good accessory as it cinches in the waist and breaks up the houndstooth.
If you want a more traditional black and white houndstooth dress with an exaggerated pattern then this Kate Spade (a Jessica Day favorite) Mavis dress is a fabulous alternative.
Plus it comes with the all important pockets – if I am unsure about buying a dress and it has pockets then I am way more likely to buy it. It’s the little things.
