Spring Runway Trend: Gingham

As I'm sitting here today in the middle of a snow storm, I am thinking about spring.  Only 46 days to go!

The huge trend on the spring runway that I am in love with is gingham.   It takes me back to my younger years - the yellow gingham blouse with the Peter Pan collar I wore as a little girl, the red gingham tablecloth we brought to picnics, the fabric I used to make dresses for my girls.  But the most memorable gingham was the blue gingham dress that Dorothy wore in the Wizard of Oz.


Elle recently announced that "Gingham is the print of spring 2015" with Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, and Altuzarraa all showing gingham collections.


The collection I am so in love with this spring is Diane Von Furstenberg's - dresses, cropped pants, clutches - all to die for!   Check it out on the DVF website



Now, if some of you are like me and just dream about a closet full of DVF, I have some other options for you on My Effortless Style's Pinterest board Gingham for Spring 2015.    The scarf is available at Forever 21 for just $8.50!




So, for now, I'll go through my wardrobe to see what vintage gingham I have, add a couple of new pieces and plan my spring "Gingham Style".  All the while longing for the warm and sunny spring days to come!


With warm and sunny wishes,

Kathy
