Gingham Girl

Outfit Details: Sunnies: Steve Madden (Macy's); Dress: vintage, thrifted; Belt: sister's; Purse: vintage Dooney & Bourke (thrifted); Flip-flops: Old Navy

A friend once told me, as I was wearing a gingham top, that my top made him want to eat a picnic off of me. I don't care what the haters say; gingham is one of my favorite patterns, and it's so quintessentially spring/summer.

The last time I wore this dress was in December, and I had to layer the crap out of it to make it suitable for winter wear. In contrast, I love how easily I was able to style it for warmer weather: a few accessories & it's good to go! I do think, however, that I'm going to take it to a seamstress to have it shortened a bit. Man, life would be so much easier if I could sew..

  2. I love it.  And also think it's weird that people want to eat things off of you, but hey, whatever makes them happy.

  5. There is something so classic/ vintage looking about this outfit. Maybe it's the combo of the gingham, the bun, and the vintage D&B bag? Whatever it is, I love it!

  23. What a great dress! Really like how you styled it.  Your bun is adorable.....

    Initially, I wrote your buns are adorable because I had looked some of your other posts before commenting on this one.  But that just sounded really awkward, especially for a first time commenter :)

  27. I love the belt and the bag! And I agree, shortening the dress a few inches would make it even better! I do that to half the things I find at the thrift store. :)
