Gingham Style

I struggled with a title for this post. Gingham Style? ‘Check This Out’? Plaid Top and Flare Pants' ?. A couple eeny meeny miney mos later and I went with Gingham Style. Phew! 

Fashion trends are truly cyclical. Gingham has been back in case you haven’t noticed. It’s no longer limited to school uniforms. Yes, it’s used as school uniforms in some parts of the world, did you know that? How trendy those students must look. Lucky ducks! 

It’s also not limited to table covers and picnic basket liners anymore. Heavily served at fashion runways, street style mavens and bloggers are wholly embracing gingham. It's very wearable and transitions seamlessly from runway to real way / street style. 

Even though I’ve seen head to toe gingham look ever so fabulous albeit tricky to pull off, to curate a perfect ‘not too busy’ look I chose to pair my gingham cold shoulder top with solid bottoms. I arguably played it safe but this is a great way to whet your appetite for this trend. If you didn’t hit the ground running with it already that is. The peplum hem added a feminine touch while the cinched waist created an illusion of an hourglass. The lush greenery was a perfect backdrop. Spike gold heels and a red Alma bag were my accessories of choice. I actually listed this bag to sell on Poshmark, having had it forever and only carry it once in a blue moon. 

Hi loves!
