How To Style The Gingham Trend For Spring

April 24, 2018

Hey everyone and Happy Tuesday! Today I’m talking about the gingham trend with Ann Taylor and how to work one of their printed pieces into your wardrobe. I’m talking gingham tops, dresses, shorts and even shoes. Just check out how amazing these gingham bow heels are! I of course had to snag those shoes for myself, but I also picked up this gingham printed camp shirt from Ann Taylor and styled it with these super chic white cropped pants.

If you follow along with Haute Off The Rack regularly, then you know I’m fairly petite so I’m all about a cropped top or knotting the front of my shirt to accentuate my waistline. Fortunately, Ann Taylor offers petite sizes so I scooped up the cropped pants in a petite size and they fit perfectly. They look amazing with cropped tops and fitted shirts on the weekend, but they’re also great for the work week too if you just pair them with a blouse minus the knot in front. I don’t work in a formal office space, but if I did, I would definitely wear this outfit to work and just tuck the blouse in to cover my midriff.

How would you style this gingham print shirt for the weekend and the work week?

When it comes to styling the gingham trend, it’s not as tricky as styling other prints because it’s black and white so it’s easier to style than you think! Just add a pop of color and you’re good to go or you can always play it safe with an all black white look like I did. I added the colorful silk printed scarf on my bag for an unexpected twist with all the black and white outfit.  I also paired the look with a pair tan leather mules to help elongate my legs since I’m so short!

Good Morning readers, aren’t you so glad that it’s finally Friday?  I am, and today is extra special because one of my best friends, Abby is getting married tomorrow and I’m one of the bridesmaids. I’ve never been a bridesmaid before so I’m really excited for all the festivities to begin.  Anyway about the outfit, I can’t help but instantly feel cooler when I slip on a pair of distressed denim jeans, a plain white tee and some aviators.  I mean you can’t get much cooler than that. Right?  I completed the look with a collared necklace from T+ J Designs for some added flair and the mint clutch for a fresh pop of color.  I think this is such a great transitional outfit into spring. What do you think? Oh and about the title, these photos just reminded me of the intro to the song “Tiny Dancer” when he sings “Blue Jean Baby, L.A. Lady, Seamstress for the band.”  Plus I just really like that song! 🙂

P.S. I just thought I should warn you to get ready for wedding picture overload on my Instagram and Facebook this weekend.  Here are two photos from the Bridal Luncheon at Galatoire’s in New Orleans yesterday!  Obviously the bride-to-be is in the middle wearing a a gorgeous lace BCBG dress.
