There’s no beating a classic Gingham look…

We all know that a key fashion trend for spring summer 2017 is gingham. That’s why I created this series on three ways to wear summer’s favourite pattern! In part one, we tackled the gingham pants. Today, in part two, I’m all about the gingham skirt and adding colour to your street style outfit. Classically, gingham is blue and white and we tend to match it with similar colours. For today’s look, I wanted to add some bold contrasts with colour. I loved creating an all blue base with my blue oversized sweater (it’s a sweater I stole from his closet!) and my blue skirt. To create the colour contrast I added this red leather jacket from Deme by Gabriella. It’s a current favourite of mine because of the colour! One of my favourite parts about this particular gingham skirt is the ruffle on it! The ruffle adds femininity and elegance, so pairing it with an edgy jacket and sneakers creates the perfect balance. Plus, with ruffles being another trend for spring/summer, this skirt is a two in one! I hope you guys like this second look and I can’t wait to share part three of the series with you!
