Fashion Friday: Gingham Ain't for Sissies

So, gingham. It's not for the faint of heart, let me tell ya. First of all, you must search high and low for gingham. Target? Not there. Maurices? Nope. Old Navy? Not even a stitch. Is that crazy or what?? For the past few years, Old Navy has been my go-to place for gingham camp shirts! And they had none. Nada. Zilch.

Now all of these stores had super cute plaid camp shirts, but not a single stitch of gingham. Okay, I'm done ranting. We finally found gingham at New York & Company. Now, I'm a NY&Co fan. I love their dresses and jeans and their shorts. But their gingham?? Wellll.....

When I think of gingham, I picture this or even this. Not blazers and pencil skirts and blouses.... That's just not my style. So, we were in a pickle to think of a way that would fit both Tabitha's romantic style and my edgier, eclectic style.

And... here they are!

Date Night

Of course, I'm a firm believer that accessories make an outfit! And take a look at these accessories!

Those shorts I'm wearing, believe it or not, they're purple. You just can't tell in these photos, hence my favorite purple jams ever, Desert in Dusk.

So, what do you think? Is gingham something you'd wear? Which look is your favorite?
