love all the looks. i'm just wondering how passe it will look next year, because it's such a bold look. so i'd buy either a real inexpensive item and just wear it one year, or buy one top of the line item and make it my classic.
i had a houndstooth jacket in the 80's and wore it for 20 yrs and then gave it to a friend who looked much better in it than i ever did and she looked like a ralph lauren model in it!
classics never die - they just get reinvented!

You're absolutely right about classics. And I think you could pass most of these looks off as "vintage" pieces for seasons to come.
