OOTD: Gingham Dresses & Red Phone Boxes
Chunky black and white checks carry an element of nostalgia; there's something so child-like and retro that I adore, reminding me of days running around the park scuffing my knee and coming home with twigs in my hair. Although back in the 80's and 90's we wore gingham pinafore dresses and embraced a chequed dungaree, this summer the pattern is back with a modern and sophisticated twist - so much so that you can't pass a shop window without seeing the timeless pattern brought bang up-to-date with modern accessories. It may not quite be summer fashion weather just yet, but I've been transitioning into my new season wardrobe with the help of lightweight jackets and darker accessories that help make my favourite dresses seem seasonally appropriate.
A LOVE OF GINGHAM I bought this dress last summer just before flying to New York; I thought it the perfect outfit for Coney Island and contrasting against the bold colours and cartoon-esque shop fronts, and I was right. (See the original post here.) Although the cotton material and shape is perfect for when the weather gets warmer, it's also thick enough to keep my knees from nobbling when it's only just scraping fifteen degrees. The chunky pattern is so flattering, while being on-trend and fun too; everyone can wear gingham, you just need to find the right size of check and style of dress for it to work for you. (You can see some of my current faves below, as this is now out of stock.)
