Gingham Coordinates
Gingham as well as I are/were in couples therapy.
I get that it’s everyone’s preferred summertime print, blah, blah, blah. But, it typically makes me feel like a twee picnic blanket, so I select to overlook it… thus the rift between us. And yet, we still have an unspoken, intangible, undeniable connection, therefore the requirement for a bit exactly how to lose A man in ten Days-style couples therapy.
Now, I understand what you’re wondering. Do we requirement to go to Staten Island for the weekend? Now THAT is a positive idea, Ben!
So, we went to Staten Island for the weekend.
Well, kind of. Our version of going to Staten Island was my browsing of Timo Weiland’s DIE. NO. MITE. capsule collection for Banana Republic during which one look at these gingham coordinates had me buckling at the knees as well as drooling on myself. Definitively less attractive than the Kate Hudson-Matthew McConaughey restroom scene, however no less real. It was the very first time in months (years?) that a gingham print didn’t make me want to waddle around asking when it was time to modification for tee-ball practice. I mean, the modern silhouettes? The navy fringe detail?! En fuego.
I’ve waxed on about the amazing versatility of coordinating twin sets in the past, as well as this duo is no exception. I like the coordinates worn together for a trendy-yet-work-appropriate look, however am likewise amped about the possibilities of styling each piece individually as well. The skirt alone with any other white or navy top is a no-brainer. And this crop top? Again, pair it with navy, white, denim, white denim… unlimited options! Outside of the office, I’m particularly itching to throw on some high-waisted white denim shorts (obsessed with these as well as these!) with this gingham crop top for a ideal bit summertime get-up.
