OOTD: The Gingham Experience

What do you think of when you think about the gingham pattern? A picnic table, towels, school uniforms or baby clothes? I usually think about summer and backyard barbeques.  I was inspired to add gingham to my wardrobe after seeing Lisa, from Respect the Shoes, showcase several shirts on her blog.  I bought my first gingham shirt a couple weeks ago from Old Navy and I wore it last Friday.  I love this shirt so much that I bought two of them - one in yellow and the other in blue.   This top is super lightweight and a little see through.  If you decide to buy this specific shirt, you may want to wear a tank top underneath it.   The only thing about the shirt that I would change is the fit through the body.  As I mentioned yesterday (here), I wish the shirt was a little more form fitting.  The cut is a little boxy for my taste but it will do for now.  What do you think of gingham? Love it or hate it? Do you have any gingham shirts?  Let me know!

Fresh Picks to Follow: Gingham Check

Hi everyone…I hope that you all are having wonderful weekend so far.  Today was really busy filled with races, shopping and visiting friends.  So, I’m really looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow at home.  I’ve been inspired to go out and purchase a gingham shirt when I saw Lisa from Respect the Shoes wear her various colored gingham shirts (here), (here), (here) and (here).  I also love the gingham shirts from Anthropologie, but I couldn’t justify paying full price for them.  I ended up finding a great alternative of the Anthro shirt over at Old Navy for a low price of 19.94 on promotion.   The Old Navy version isn’t as fitted as I would like, but it will do.  I wore my gingham shirt on Friday and I love it.  I plan to post my OOTD tomorrow, so check out my blog real soon. Anyways, here are my top 10 gingham designs for this week’s Fresh Pick to Follow.    Do you have any gingham in your closet?  What’s your favorite?  Let me know!

August Wish List – Top 3

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty tired of the extreme heat that we’re experiencing right now.  I know that might be a weird statement coming from a girl that lives in Florida, but it’s really hot lately.  Plus, I’m not originally from Florida.  I grew up in the north for a majority of my life and I miss having four seasons throughout the year.  Instead, I just have warm, hot and hotter.  I checked out some of the new arrivals on Anthropologie’s website today and I’m longing for the cool weather to hurry up and get here.  Unfortunately for me, the cooler weather won’t start until about October.   Anyways, here are my top 3 items for the month of August that I can’t live without.  What items have you added to your wish list?
