Use it in pastels, combine it with a camo print, dress it up or down, layer it- Gingham is the perfect way to freshen up your summer outfits and we, at BuDhaGirl, just love to see it trending.

In 1959 when Brigitte Bardot got married to actor Jacques Charrier she wore a pink and white gingham wedding dress! Did you ever see The Philadeldhia Story?  (We love black and white films) Katharine Hepburn wore a fabulous long gingham dress and because of her character, a complex socialite, she elevated this print to be chicer than what it was considered to be at the time. And this Spring designers like Joseph Altuzarra really made gingham standout.  There are some brilliant pieces to update your wardrobe in the stores.  We love this cute gingham shirt which comes in fun shades (we love the lilac especially!) And these flats are so perfect.  We are also coveting this tweed gingham jacket. it is such a classic!

You are going to love seeing how we accessorize our BudhaGirl pieces with gingham this month! Stay tuned!
