Paris Fashion Week AW 2013....Sabrina

Sabrina Meijer from After Drk blog, after A Show, Paris, March 2013.

If head-to-toe houndstooth feels slightly too dramatic for your personal style, try a subtle pair of houndstooth check pants instead like Sabrina is wearing here. And team with a bold two-tone sweater!

Recreate Sabrina's look (kind of):

Check pants: Paul & Joe wool-blend wide-leg pants, Theory Fia houndstooth pants, Band of Outsiders skinny houndstooth pants, or Rag & Bone/JEAN Houndstooth pajama pants (a bit more casual than Sabrina's pants).

Two-tone sweater: Jason Wu Crochet-knit sweater, Joseph two-tone sweater, Faith Connexion jacquard sweater, or Theory Juneau C Paces pullover

DKNY double breasted coat with leather, Burberry Prorsum wool-twill coat, Vince overcoat, or Rebecca Taylor leather trim long coat

Jimmy Choo Abel pumps, Rachel Zoe Veronica pumps, Boutique 9 Sophina Kitten heel pumps, or Aldo frited black court shoes

Paris Fashion Week AW 2013....Doina

Doina Ciobanu from The Golden Diamonds blog, before Dior, Paris, March 2013.

Recreate Doina's look (kind of):

Houndstooth check pieces (Australian readers may, like me, identify it as the David Jones logo check!): Theory Danvey coat, Moschino Cheap and Chic houndstooth cape, Mason by Michelle Mason houndstooth cardigan, Tibi houndstooth sweatshirt, Mason by Michelle Mason houndstooth sweatpants, or Theory Juneau sweater
