Gingham is always in style if you ask me, well at least I think so, ask me again in five years. But, one thing is for sure, it’s really in at the moment and is set to be big player this spring. Being that I love this print, you can assume, I’m pretty excited to score some new loves and bring out some of my old favorites. Back when I was having my closet shopping day, I found this shirt that had become a little hidden, thanks to the fact that I’m a hoarder and my closet is way too full. Yes, I’m guilty of not letting go. I try to purge my closet, but seriously, I have a denim jacket that I’ve had since like the 7th grade or high school and it’s still fabulous, I still wear it. My closet struggles are all too real. Every time I do purge and take things to the Goodwill, I spend the drive home mourning their loss and second guessing my decision. I’m sometimes a little embarrassed to admit that I’m not the best at letting go of things. Especially when I go to Erica’s house and her closet is so organized and streamlined, I always feel a little bit guiltier. Oh, man tell me I’m not alone in this!
Since the shirt was a little hidden, I had almost forgotten about it and was really excited to stumble upon it again. The color and print scream spring and make me think of warmer days and St. Patrick’s Days of the past where I donned this shirt. I know it’s only almost February, but this time every year I start to get really excited about the spring and the changing seasons. Chances are with our weather, we will have a giant snow storm between now and spring, but a girl can dream that it’s just around the corner.
p.s. – hope you enjoy my totally outie belly button showing through in these pictures 🙂

I’ve tried green and leopard together, but not gingham and leopard. It’s a wonderful combination! I’m glad you ‘rediscovered’ this top!
Gingham is always in style! and you styled perfectly with a touch of leopard! xo

super cute! love that bump!!
Love the green and leopard combo! It’s an underused pairing but works so great. I’m pretty good about cleaning out my closet lately. I get such an odd thrill out of streamlining and have a clean looking closet!

You are looking so beautiful! I have read gingham is going to be a big trend for this fall. I need to go buy some and I don’t really have much of it in my closet. I love how you made your shirt an extra layer. I always think that is such a smart way to use non-maternity clothes.

I love the baby bump peeking out from your open button up! And I am very excited for more gingham in the Spring. I might have to do some Goodwill donating myself — to make room for Spring styles of course!

Oh I think gingham is always in style too. And I totally have a couple of things from high school that I still wear, it’s a tribute to our great fashion sense back then! (Haha jk for me.)
Also you look great! I’m always impressed when I see cute baby mama bloggers, I feel like when I get pregnant I will just be sitting in my own filth every day.

I like your animal print scarf.
Also the pop of colour from your shirt makes this look so much more vibrant.

I think gingham has been and will always be in style 🙂 Yours is so very adorable in green. It’s always so fun to find treasures in our own closets. I relate to you a bit too much. I always try to organize my closet but it becomes a monster so very quickly. 🙂 I guess we need more shopping. 😉 Have a great Saturday! XOXO, Elif
I love gingham as well, I really like the green one you are rocking! I’d love that color as well as blue!

You look so cute! That shirt was a great “re-find”. I have found items in the back of my closet that I forgot I even had. It’s embarrassing but kinda nice. It’s like finding money in your pocket you had forgotten about. ~Cynthia
Great combination of colors. Love that shade of green! Also love the shade of your lipstick. Looks pretty on you.
