I love gingham.
Call me southern, call me old-fashioned, call me country, but I am so drawn to gingham! So, when I spotted a green gingham shirt at Old Navy last spring, I knew I had to have it.
It got a lot of wear this spring/summer, but I haven’t known what to do with it now that the weather is cold. I took to Pinterest to get some ideas. This picture caught my eye and became the inspiration for my outfit.
My version:
I wore my green gingham shirt under my cream colored sweater, trying to imitate the turned up sleeves like the girl in the picture. I love seeing the gingham stick out from underneath the shirt.
I paired my shirt/sweater with my skinny jeans and my dark brown knee-high boots. I now know that I need to be adding a pair of khaki skinny fit cords to my shopping list very soon because I love the look of the khaki with the top in the original pin. And of course, you already know some lighter brown/cognac knee-high boots are already on my shopping list.
Please excuse the mess in the bathtub behind me {and the fact that I’m standing on the side of the tub to get a snapshot}. How dare the kids not put their bath toys away for my picture? Believe me, thoughts of “you know you’re not a fashion blogger if….” are running through my mind as well. Just keepin’ it real here, friend. 🙂
