Fall, winter, and spring are all, unfortunately houndstooth season, these days. The designs have gotten bolder, the pattern more prevalent, and my world is shrinking to the point where I have nowhere to hide. To illustrate my point, I was looking at satellite photos of my dear, dreaded town on a google map, and when you zoom into the closest setting you can go, if you see a well populated street, you can MAKE OUT THE HOUNDSTOOTH DESIGNS -- at least the unfortunately over-sized ones. Houndstooth you can see from space! It's a sad state of affairs.
