I have always perceived gingham as a summer fabric -- its checkered print brings the memories of picnic blankets and its lightweight material lends itself to warmer temperatures. It also reminds me of "Oklahoma!" the musical too -- cornfields, barn dances and all that fun stuff.
I wanted to dress up its casualness a little bit for autumn weather, so I styled it with my much-loved ruffled sweater and boots. I ended up really liking this outfit -- something about seems just so darn sweet, like I'm going to bake you an apple pie from scratch as soon as I pick some wildflowers. In reality, it'd probably be funfetti cupcakes from the box, because that's how I operate these days -- from the box. You'd still eat them, wouldn't you?
One of my sartorial resolutions this year was to break out my fabrics and textures during different parts of the year.
How do you wear seasonal fabrics year-round?
