Trend Alert: Gingham

Although this pattern makes me feel somewhat like the tablecloth at a picnic in the park, I am loving summer’s hottest print— gingham. Most commonly found in black or navy, gingham has exploded throughout the racks at various stores. Because the pattern, itself, is quite loud, wearing one gingham garment can truly let your ensemble do all the talking. Therefore, it is wise to pair gingham with more understated pieces and solid colors, especially white.

I paired this black and white gingham top from T.J. Maxx with white jeans and pink statement earrings from Bauble Bar x Target. Aside from the fun earrings, I kept my outfit more simple and allowed the gingham top to be the focal point.
