Gingham Skirt & Link Up Birthday Party! ?

June 22, 2017

That’s right, today is my birthday!  So of course I needed a fun summer look!


Gingham Skirt

I’ve been wanting a black and white gingham midi skirt and Shein was nice enough to send me one.  When I first tried this on, I wasn’t too sure about the pleated silhouette.  I like A-line, but maybe this was too poof-y? But with the right shirt, I think it really works. Plus it makes you want to swish and twirl when you walk.  And there’s even pockets! The Hidden Pocket Detail Pleated Checkered Skirt also comes in blue!

The Other Pieces

I paired the skirt with a sleeveless denim shirt tied at the waist. I also added my red patent leather pumps and shiny red lips and nails to match. If you’re a regular reader, you know how much I love a pop of red!  Then for extra interest, I added my vintage floral handbag.  Isn’t this a sweet little bag?  I found it at an antique flea market a couple of years ago and I don’t use it often, but when I do it always makes me smile. The sunglasses are Desert Rose by Winkwood (use code FASHIONSHOULDBEFUN for %30 off).

Featured look of the week: Amy Ann of Straight A Style is also rocking her Shein gingham look!

 

So Dolls, help me celebrate my birthday today and link up a blog or Instagram post and show me your style! Can’t wait to see all your fun looks!

And just in case you missed it, also loving this fun summer dress!

OXOX

    Happiest of birthdays, Dawn!!
    I love this skirt. I know what you mean about the pleats and such, because one of my new skirts is like this!! But sometimes, it’s fun to have a different silhouette!!

    I love everything about this outfit. The gingham skirt looks great on you, pleating and all! And pairing with the sleeveless blouse is perfection, as well as those fierce red pumps. And is that a Margaret Smith handbag by any chance? It looks like one of hers. She was a designer from Maine who is known for her floral print purses from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Its adorable and so summery.
