Gingham Forever

                          J.Crew Dress + Shirt (both thrifted) // Vintage Hat

Even though sometimes I think my personal style has changed a lot since I was a young, when I think about it, there are certain things that are still exactly the same. I can hardly remember a time since I was a kid that I didn’t love ginghams and plaids. The only thing that’s really changed is how I style them. When I was a a teenager my punk-rock self had an obsession with red and black, so the plaids were always in those colors and almost always paired with a pair of Coverse or knee high lace-up boots. I specifically don’t really think about what style category I fall under now, I like to just wear what calls to me and makes me feel good, and that tends to mean lots and lots of gingham and plaid, usually mixed with plenty of dresses and skirts (in khaki or denim please:).

Isn’t it funny how much your personal style can change and evolve, but also stay the same in some ways?

  1. Great look! Love the shirt tied over the dress. It is always crazy to look back at how my style has evolved. It went from tomboy to preppy to pretty, now it’s just a mix of everything. One thing that always stayed the same is expressing myself through my clothing. I think I’m most comfortable now with my style and wear whatever makes me feel happy and confident.

  2. That’s so true what you said about style. While things have changed over the years, and I’ve been trying out slightly different looks, I still go back to my tried and true pieces. Once you find something that looks good on your body type, it’s hard to stray too far from it. I love how you styled this dress!

  3. Oh I love this look! I am a huge gingham fan as well. It’s so true what you said about your style changing in some ways and not in others. I’ve always been on the girly side but I finally feel like in my mid-20’s I’ve got a good blend of preppy, polished, feminine, and fun.Lauren
