    Styling Gingham for Summer

    SKIRT: Reclaimed Vintage (Asos)  |  SANDALS: Wanted  |  BAG: Unbranded (T.J. Maxx)  |  SUNGLASSES: Unbranded (T.J. Maxx)  |  T-SHIRT: H&M           I have been a lover of gingham since basically forever.  It just always reminds me of summer because so many picnic blankets come in gingham print.  I think Gingham can be good for fall and winter as well, but summer is more fun to style in my opinion.  I love this skirt because of the diagonal ruffle and the length.  I love how it is a bit longer than traditional midi skirts.  Midi skirts are normally unflattering on me because of my muscular calfs.  This…

    Gingham Sweater

    JEANS: Target |  SWEATER: H&M  |  BOOTS: T.J. Maxx (similar)  |  BACKPACK: Ted Baker London  |  HEADBAND: H&M            I bought this cute sweater on Black Friday from H&M.  I think I got it for around $6, because I had additional discounts. I think it is super cute.  I love the preppy look of it, especially with the pearl headband.  I also got this backpack recently as a gift to myself for getting the job I really wanted.  I promised myself I’d pick out a new bag if when I got a new job.  I currently work as a Sample Coordinator for Nordstrom Rack/Hautelook.  I work in the studio…

    Gingham Peplum

    TOP: 1901  |  CARDIGAN: Poof New York  |  JEANS: H&M  |  SHOES: Massini  |  BACKPACK: Sole Society  |  SUNGLASSES: Marshall’s            Almost all of these items are new (from my birthday).  I paired them together because they are all black and white.  I love the gingham checker print mixed with the black and white speckled cardigan.  I wore my new black jeans with the outfit.  They are from H&M and honestly I regret buying them.  H&M jeans never fit me properly.  They are too tight in the thighs and too loose around the ankles.  Don’t you hate when you try something on and you think it fits?  Then you…

    Gingham in Grand Haven

    GINGHAM TOP: J.C. Penney || SHORTS: Target (I think) || SANDALS: Forever 21  || PURSE: New Look || SUNGLASSES: ASOS || CHOKER: Zaful || MICHIGAN NECKLACE: Glik’s (in Grand Haven)           Sunday my boyfriend and I spent the day in Grand Haven, Michigan.  We also went to Saint Joe later on in the day.  These pics are all from Grand Haven, though.  I am in love with Michigan.  I feel like it is more of my home than Indiana.  I try to go as much as I can in the summer because it makes summer feel right.  I love taking day trips to different towns by lake…
