Gingham




Tweeds gingham dress, GB pumps, Striped blazer & ring (courtesy of 80's purple)





Christopher Kane Spring 2010 photo credit: Style.com

I bought this dress a year ago and it's been hiding in my closet until now. I never wore it because I thought the distinctive checkered pattern reminded me too much of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz! But after seeing Christopher Kane's Spring 2010 collection, it completely changed my perspective on gingham and inspired me to give this dress a try!

Very girly yet edgy look. It's funny how this reminds you of Dorothy! It's the red shoes that remind me.

You surely don't look like Dorothy in this dress, it's way too sophisticated and chic as for a fairytale character! :o)

Julia, the Thanksgiving Girl said...

Beautiful Kane creations and I really like your dress too and how you mixed patterns here with the striped blazer! And I know what you're saying - I've also had it happenign to me a few times - I would purchase something and never really figure out the best way to wear it, then a year or so later it just dawns on me, usually due to some outer inspiration as well!

Briana Laemel said...

I just bought gingham shorts. Such inspiration for wearing them! I love how you mixed the patterns.

I love the playfulness of this dress. I think the element that really made this outfit stand out was the pattern mixing. It's daring and not too sweet. Badass.

pretty!

Mae Lu said...

I'm totally glad you gave it a try. Gingham is fun, isn't it?

I think it's refreshing and really inventive that you did a contrasting print with the striped blazer. The blazer in and of itself is pretty interesting with the vest-shaped hem. Most jacket hems are as boring as a Kansas horizon.

XXs,
Mae Lu, thereafterish.
