Inspirational Monday: Gingham Pattern

(Another Day to Dress Up, Elle.com, Denimology.com)

D&G Spring 2011 collection is all about the girly feminine picnic look. But nothing screams out spring and picnics like the gingham pattern. As soon as I see this pattern all I can think about is Yogi Bear saying "Hey Booboo, how about a picnic basket?" I've always loved this pattern. A few summers back I bought a gingham pattern romper that I like to break out ever now and then. I'm waiting for the perfect summer day to break it out this year. This past Friday I picked up the perfect D&G inspired red gingham pattern skirt from Forever21. Today I am def. rocking it! And couldn't be more excited. Even though I wish I was out on a picnic instead of in my office.... Either way I love the retro feel of this pattern. I like the idea of pairing up a gingham crop top with high waist jeans to really give it a retro vibe.
