I remember as a child being mesmerized by Glenda's beautiful pink dress and enthralled with Dorothy's iconic midwestern gingham dress. Now as an adult, every time I wear navy gingham I immediately am taken back to summer days curled up on the couch watching the movie with my family. My gingham shirt is among one of my favorites in my closet. It's bold and pairs well with many different types of outfits. I love dressing it up with a skirt - I especially think a pop of neon works well with the navy. But it also can be made more casual with jeans - try black for a cool and chic style that still looks very adult.
MY WAY: GINGHAM SHIRT |
This week marked my official end to summer. Thursday, the new teachers were called in for special orientation inservice meetings. We'll continue with more meetings Monday and Tuesday with the rest of the faculty and then students will return on Wednesday. We were told to keep dress casual, so for my first day I wore jeans, but I chose my magenta polka dot pants for a bit of fun. I elevated their laid-back style with a lace black t-shirt and statement necklace. It worked well and was comfortable enough for sitting in chairs all morning!
The Wizard of Oz has always been my favorite! I was once the wicked witch of the west for Halloween five years in a row...my mom put an end to that. Love your take on gingham!
