Resurrecting Gingham

Just last week I pulled out a slightly dusty Steven Alan shirt out of my closet that has this lovely, slightly nostalgic gingham print to it. I always thought the fit was kind of awkward, but tucked into my high-waist jeans I know think the fit is kind of genius. It's a bit of a picnic plaid but reimagined in a neutral black and white and will be a great layering piece now that it's freezing in L.A. I then stumbled upon this photo and realize I may not be the only one crushing on gingham. I love the look and love how it's looking. With piles of layered necklaces (of varying lengths) and a cinched waist, somehow it's fresh once again.
