black gingham two ways

I happened to wear black gingham in different ways in recent days.  One a more feminine/vintage look on a picnic with Ben, and the second a mix of modern and vintage in a menswear style for a day shopping with a friend.  I guess the somewhat chilly and cloudy days here meant black gingham was going to be the pick.

    Such a pretty playful dress!! The second outfit is cute and casual!!

    Both outfits are adorable, I always feel like I am wearing a picnic blanket when I wear gingham but I do not get picnic vibes from your gorgeous clothes!

    Love both your black gingham outfits, I have a ’50s gingham dress too (I really like the red detailing on the hem of yours). Am envious of that ’50s letterman sweater, I’ve been searching for one for ages… sadly the ones I find are always super itchy or big.

    Gorgeous both of them. I feel a hankering for black gingham now. x
