Outfit: Bold Moves
When Pauline at Covered Perfectly let me know that she’d recently added new merchandise to the website, I popped over to have a peek. It took about a nanosecond to know I HAD to have this houndstooth top. The bold print and flattering open neckline add some pop to my wardrobe. The fabric on this top is substantial and slightly crisp for a knit, which works well with the pattern.
If you haven’t checked out Covered Perfectly tops recently, you’re in for a treat. In addition to new styles and fabrics, Pauline has expanded her Plus Size range. Lots to choose from! You can use code UF20 for a 20% discount at checkout. All items are made in the USA and washable.
I knew I’d want to balance out this bold top with some equally high-impact shoes. Karen had recommended these Julianne Hough for Sole Society red ankle strap shoes to me a few weeks ago, but wasn’t until I saw them on her and tried them moi-même that I was convinced. They really are comfortable, and the ankle straps make them feel very secure on the foot. And they look smashing.
Your weekly Lars:
Jeans: Eileen Fisher / Earrings: Alexis Bittar / Watch: Michael Kors / Shoes: Julianne Hough for Sole Society (note, these run half to a full size small, size up!)
More Covered Perfectly tops HERE. Shipping is free in the USA, and a flat rate of $14.95 to Canada and Mexico. Don’t forget to use discount code UF20 for 20% off all items!

Great look, Une Femme. I am such a fan of bright shoes!
Bold, yes, and Fabulous! Simple, clean, yet high- impact. You look great.
Swooning over those shoes! Love the pop of colour….you look very polished and svelte.
Crisp, cute, comfortable, and cheery – who could ask for more?
I love these type of tops and especially with 3/4 sleeves.
And your red shoes are awesome!!

Gorgeous red shoes!
Those shoes make take the outfit to another level of magic, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Sooooooooooooooooo fabulous
Ok i am really pining over those SHOES!!! Totally smashing! Great outfit xoxo
I like the top on You! Naturally I like the cuffed jeans, as I wear mine cuffed too.
Good for you.
Your beautiful cat is my favourite bit of that outfit! It’s a lovely outfit, but the cat is lovelier… I saw an excellent pic somewhere on the internet of a guy with a cat sprawled on his head and the caption ‘It’s cold out, wear a cat’. I wish we could!
Birdy, I wish he were our cat but he actually belongs to the neighbors. Le monsieur is deathly allergic to cats, so we can’t have one.
You look insouciant! I think fabric weight is important in a graphic-design top. Cheers to Covered Perfectly for making an extensive size range.
A look gorgeous, I love the houndstooth top. The shoes are spectacular. You look really great in this post. You’ve seen your picture in my last post?
I loved the top and the jeans and scrolling down i saw the shoes! Woo Hoo … how perfect are they with that outfit!! I think I might need a pair myself!!
You look ‘mazing Ms S !! Love love love those sassy shoes!! S x
I love the outfit! Just curious – do you find the sizing to be true to size?
Hi Cathy,
Thanks! On the tops, I’d say yes, true to size. I’m usually a 4-6 and am wearing a Small.
The houndstooth is classic and fresh… But you know I love love love the red shoes!
You got the shoes! Whooppee aren’t they so fun? I am getting that top, post haste!
Love the outfit!! Thanks for dropping by my blog and I really hope you will join in the link party next Monday!!
The shoes! The shoes!
I’ve totally been stalking those Sole Society shoes. Such a great design. They look great.
You look great! What a fantastic and eye-catching outfit, and still so simple. I really think houndstooth is going to be the next big thing, when we’re all tired of leopard and plaid.
The red shoes are fantastic! I have one digital print top in black, camel and brown that I wear when I want to look a bit more dressed up (with jeans, obviously)
Wow! You are looking particularly gorgeous today! I really love the top and super red shoes.

I so enjoy your posts/website. Age 57, barely 5’2″, determined to live a fun, full and interesting life… Your style and outlook on life are wonderful. Continue to share!
Hi S you have styled it perfectly, houndstooth and Red is a winner, and the shoes are spectacular, will definitely pop in on the website, very dynamic pair and they fit your feet beautifully. I am going straight to my closet to revive houndstooth from a previous life. Love the top!!!

I am digging the red shoes and the houndstooth top. I love crazy patterns in my Hermes scarves. Other than that my favorite pattern is stripes. Thank you for the dose of Lars. He seems like he’s the mayor of your street. I love a cat who comes out to greet everyone!
Love the entire look, the houndstooth with red looks great! I checked out the website for the tops and found several that would be great additions to my wardrobe, especially the teal Mandy. Lars is looking great. I mentioned in a previous post that my cat’s name is Lars as well!
LOVE the pop of red in the shoes. They totally make the outfit – give it a little fun edge. Thanks for linking up this week to the Fashionista Style Hop. – Katy
Great shoes! And I love the top. Sadly, Covered Perfectly seems to specialize in 3/4 sleeves. Perfect for summer, but I live in the midwest and need long sleeves most of the year. And my arms are a bit long, and the 3/4 sleeve shows that off in not such a good way. Sad, because I could surely go for a great houndstooth top like that.
I love the bold print its like computer generated mazed
You look so pretty!
I just ordered my second top per your recommendation from Covered perfectly.
Love the tops & Pauline is so friendly,great customer service!
Just ordered my first Karina dress today(per your blog) & will let you know what I think.
Really enjoy your blog & it is one of the 3 that I must read each Am with my coffee.
Thanks for all your inspiration,Kim
Oh Pseu! Ok those shoes are super nova- I LOOOOVE them- the wicked color, the takes-two-to-tango ankle straps and the takes-no-prisoners points at the toe. Wow. And ZAH.
And I love this whole outfit. Perfection if you ask me- lovable, classic and (on trend again) Houndstooth, in a gorgeous well fitting top. SOLD. You look so chic and sexy. I think this may be my favorite ensemble of yours yet. You are gorgeous.
Thank oyu for linking up to Shoe Shine!
What a great outfit. My favourites: red shoes (and boy oh boy what a great shoes!), skinnies and black and white. Love this.
Did I see you doing a post about lower heeled shoes over at Already Pretty a while ago?

Oh my goodness those shoes! Swooning here. The whole outfit is fabulous. You look great!
The red shoes ARE bold but they are also perfect. Thanks for linking up this week to the Fashionista Style Hop!
I’m digging the red shoes, Sue. I notice they come in cloud, which seems like a good nude alternative. Pretty!
Holy cow! That is the best ankle/foot shot I’ve seen in a long time. I don’t have to tell you how much I adore your shoes, do I? The colour reminds me of Julia Robert’s dress in Pretty Woman when she met that guy at the airport and the jewellery box bit her – not that I’m a fan of the movie but I remember the colour of the dress vividly.
Those shoes are hot.
bisous
Suzanne
love it! those red shoes are awesome
Yup … the houndstooth top is wonderful, and soooooo sweet with your little rolled up jeans! But you gotta know those shoes are showstoppers. You do it again, my style icon! You look beautiful!
