Preppy Gingham & Florals

One of the trends I'm obsessed with for spring is gingham print! When I did my recap of the SS15 Runway shows I saw gingham everywhere from the runways of Michael Kors to Diane von Furstenberg to Oscar de la Renta. Gingham print has a slightly retro & classic preppy feel to it.

What's great about this trend is it's really easy to interpret the looks on the runways for your on wardrobe. I love gingham patterns in pieces like tops, A-line skirts & accessories. In today's outfit post I'm wearing a pink gingham crop top I scored for less than $20 at Nordstrom Rack last summer. I paired it with my new Lisi Lerch tassel earrings, lace skirt & a knotted chambray shirt. The florals in the picture are ones my parents sent me for my birthday- so thoughtful!

When wearing gingham think about pairing it with other slightly preppy fabrications like chambray & eyelet. It always looks great when worn in a classic way- a tucked in oxford button down, cuffed denim & leather ballet flats.
