Would you believe me if I told you that this is my first gingham top that I have ever bought? Or for that matter, ever tried on? I know it’s hard to believe because gingham is EVERYWHERE. But to be honest, I just wasn’t that crazy about it. Until now!! And now I want everything in this cute little print.
I’m just going to say it- I hated this trend….at first. And now it has really grown on me. Do you ever get that way with a trend? I have to think things thru and I have to see it styled multiple ways in order to really jump on the bandwagon. I’m that way with a lot of things, especially when it comes to fashion. I am not one to jump on the newest trends just because it’s new. I like to think about it and make sure it really fits with my style and vibe.
But with this trend, it’s everywhere, which actually made me a little turned off. Gingham is a preppy print, so I’m shocked that I didn’t immediately like it. It wasn’t until I saw this top at J.Crew, that I even thought I would try this trend. And once I tried it on- I was hooked. This top is adorable and pairs perfectly with a bright red lip (my fav!).
What do you think about the gingham trend? Did you like it immediately or are you still on the fence about it?

This outfit looks so great on you and I love the red lips you paired with it. I wissshhhh I could pull off red lips – maybe I just haven’t found the right color yet!
Amanda Faber says
I thought the same thing when I first tried it but you just have to find the right color. I mean, it is VERY bold too so you have to get use to it being so dramatic.
Rachel says
