I have to admit, I’m slightly gingham obsessed. Which I will also shamefully admit up until a couple of years ago I had no idea this stellar print was called gingham and would often refer to it as, checkered or worse picnic table print, embarrassing. I have since become oh so educated on this fabulous print that to me is what leopard is to accessories, the ultimate neutral. Coming up Southern I have always gravitated to the Southern preppy vibe and I can’t think of anything more preppy than gingham; well maybe if you monogrammed it or monogrammed it on top of a Lilly Pulitzer print and then put it on a bow tie, that then would be the ultimate southern preppy.
So when I ordered about six of these ASOS maternity dresses that are the most comfortable thing ever and needed to come up with different ways to style my wardrobe repeat, it wasn’t a question to pop one on top of a trusty gingham. You would totally laugh knowing that under the dress, I couldnt button my shirt all the way over my piggy belly!
Prepare yourself to see this dress in many colors on the blog, maybe with a jacket, a vest, tights on an on.
Kidogo Kidogo fashionably makes a difference, which we love. Each purchase of a phone case, results in Kidogo Kidogo sending a woman in Tanzania a mobile phone. We take it for granted around here, but the impact that a phone makes on these women’s lives is amazing. Head over to their website to read stories about women they have helped!

I love gingham and the idea behind Kidogo Kidogo. It’s true. We do take what we have for granted. I love how this reminds us to appreciate what we have, and to help others enjoy what we have everyday.
(p.s. I had the same issue with houndstooth. Didn’t know what it was for the longest time!)
That asos maternity dress is SO pretty! I can see why you bought multiple pairs. I love how you styled it with the gingham top underneath. And of course loving the leopard flats. Great look!

Thank you Lauren! I promised myself I wouldn’t buy multiples of the same thing this year, (I tend to do that too often) but, seems I broke my rule already, just couldn’t myself!
Oh thank goodness I’m not alone in the print name department, haha! You’ve made my day Yvonne.

This is such a cute look! I love the gingham shirt underneath the purple dress and the statement necklace is the perfect addition. Kidogo Kidogo sounds like an amazing cause! thanks for visiting earlier!
Hi Brooke! This is such a cute look! I love gingham for Fall, too! And how funny- I wore a gingham top like that in my post today. It looks great layered with the purple dress and paired with those chic leopard flats. Nicely done!

Gingham is what print I don’t have but I’ve always liked. I like the touch of it in the sleeves and the printed clutch added. & but the way those phone cases are for such a great cause!!
