Gingham Top: The New Pattern For Spring

One of my strongly held fashion beliefs is that personal style is just that-personal. So words like “trend” and “in style” should mean nothing more to you than this is what to expect in stores. You should never feel pressured to wear it solely because it’s “in style”. Wear what you like, and what feels good to you, but also be open to the inspiration that new styles can bring to your current wardrobe. You may be surprised to find that you like what’s new, fresh, and readily available.

Let’s Talk Gingham

One of the big patterns for spring and summer this year is gingham. Expect it on shirts, dresses, pants, bathing suits, and everything in between. It’s not a new pattern- but it’s come a long way from the picnic table. This $12 Off The Shoulder Pink Gingham Blouse for instance adds a soft, feminine twist on the summer staple. I love the ties on the sleeves and the color..and the $12  price tag obviously doesn’t hurt!

If you’re in the market for a new bag for spring, I’m loving this baby doll Pink Satchel (under $35) It reminded me of a Kate Spade bag, minus the price tag. The color is great for spring and the size will even hold my camera- win!
