Trend Alert: Gingham

March 28, 2007

Gingham is all grown up! You don't have to feel like Lolita in today's gingham offerings...unless you want to (wink). Every gal should have at least one gingham item for a super summery day. It may rival chambray as a lightweight, classic fabric but it's got the colorful angle. Whether it's a picnic in the park, wine tasting with friends or a romantic dinner out, gingham deserves to be there - it has stood the test of time.

Plenty by Tracy Reese Surplice Silk Blend Dress, $320.

The style of the shirt is cute but I'm not into the fabric colors and designs.

I love gingham, but it's better applied to a simple, classic style like a basic button-down shirt.I just got an AWESOME pink gingham headband at J Crew! The shoe is the only thing here that pleases me , but only to look at because I fear broken ankles.Seriously. Look at that wedge.
