GINGHAM SPRING/SUMMER 2017


Gingham in Spring is almost as groundbreaking as florals I know, but this year the print has been reinvented. New collections see hem lines shifted, cold shoulders, ruffles, chokers, and all in a rainbow of colours. You name it there's gingham somewhere that has it, with your name on it. 

Personally I'm a big fan and my recent purchases have only confirmed this. I did umm and ahh over this Topshop 'it' blouse, only because I seem to have this habit of ending up with all the pieces that seem to flood instagram and everybody else has. But I do love the ruffles, and the one shoulder detail and it will be perfect for Summer. And I got a discount code for my birthday, you can see where I'm going with this right....so yes I got the 'it' blouse!

Assymetric Gingham Frill Top  Topshop  £29.00

Stay tuned to my instagram to see my styling this one when the weather warms up. I'm already thinking, patent leather trousers and heels with gold accessories for a night out with the girls. 
I also couldn't resist these Zara pieces, both of which will work well in the summer as well as now. I can't pretend I dont feel slightly childlike in the dress but it's so comfortable, would be great during pregnancy (I'm not talking about me here), and works well for now with tights/jeans. The top is an amazing buy, at just £15.99! It has extra long sleeves with button detailing and a choker neck. You may want to add a cami underneath as it is quite low cut. 
TIP**Although it comes up true to size -I took a small, I did try a few on in the same size as the choker detail was too tight on a couple of them but perfect on another**

          
     Gingham Check Top  Zara  £15.99                   Gingham Mini Dress  Zara  £29.99

If colour is your thing then gingham will not disappoint. I would stick with light denim and plain tees with these to let the print do the talking.

Gingham Ruffle Blouse  Pull & Bear @ ASOS  £27.99
High Waist Paper Bag Gingham Peg Trousers  ASOS  £30.00
Gingham Ruched Sleeve Top  Warehouse  £35.00
Gingham Top with Belled Sleeves  Zara  £29.99

For a more classic take on gingham stick with black and white. But this doesn't mean staying basic when it comes to cut and style. Think ruffles, ties, and frills....

Black Gingham Check Tie Waist Cropped Trousers  New Look  £24.99
Black Gingham Layered Blouse  SheIn  £14.69
Wrapover Skirt  H&M  £17.99
T-Shirt with Gingham Print Bandeau  ASOS  £16.00
Black/White Check Trench Coat  Next  £90.00

This trench coat is another 'it' piece available at the moment and looks amazing styled with a simple outfit of jeans and a plain tee. Add a bit of personality with a band tee and ripped jeans. For a pop of colour add red accesories.

Style gingham trousers with a yellow top to tick another trend off this season. See last months post 'And it was all yellow' for my pick of the high street. 

Sally Gingham Cold Shoulder Cotton Top  Boohoo  £16.00

This top is another amazing buy for under £20, that will surprise you with its versatility. Layer it up with a white tee, jeans and trainers for day and when the sun goes down loose the tee and add some heels.
