I noticed a common theme in my Instagram feed today.
Two similar pictures. About a week apart.
I guess this is what I'd call my school uniform.
My favorite boots, skinnies of some sort, Starbucks. And lately, gingham button down shirts.
I like gingham. Is gingham still cool even? Do I care? While at the thrift I always skim the racks for it.
These were both found with the original tags still attached at a local thrift shop.........the gray is from Gap...........and the chartreuse is J. Crew (eeeekkk)!!!
With the weather being so fickle ~ spring one day, sleet the next ~ this is a good season-transition type of outfit. I can roll my sleeves if it's warm........or unroll them if it's chilly and throw on a cardigan.
The Starbucks is just an addiction.
Or an accessory?
Love the yellow gingham!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat's really cute :) I love both plaid tops on you!

Thank you!
DeleteOh, I love that yellow gingham. So springy and bright. The Starbucks accessory, that's funny!
ReplyDeleteOooohh I vote that Starbucks is an accessory! I think I'm going to steal that phrase from you and use it when people ask about my need to have it all the time :)
ReplyDeleteLove the gingham. I would call Starbucks a teaching assistant.
ReplyDeleteLove gingham. It screams summer to me. So I tried Goodwill this past Saturday. Total bust. The racks were so incredibly packed that I could barely even pull anything off the rack to look at. Needless to say I went home empty handed.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I just found a true vintage pink gingham dress last week. It will go in my booth though since I can rock neither gingham nor pink ;-)
ReplyDeleteOHHHHH! I bet it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteLove both outfits! And oooh green jeans! Sooo. Cute. :)
ReplyDeleteGingham is totally "in" and I'm SO jealous that you found a JCrew gingham shirt at the thrift store! It fits you SO well!!

Both looks are great, the yellow is really nice! Very springy!
ReplyDeleteGingham is cool and Starbucks is most definitely an accessory!
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSS! Thank you for being on my side!!!!!!!
DeleteGingham is awesome. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteWhich thrift store are you using in town? I get so overwhelmed when I attempt, that I always end up leaving before finding any keepers.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these were found at Red Rack right by Relics!!!!!!!! There's also a DAV I like by a Salvation Army on Campbell (by Bass Pro).
DeleteThe yellow gingham is great for spring! I think I need more gingham shirts!

YES! More gingham in the closet is good!!!!!!!!!
DeleteLove the school uniform!
ReplyDeletegingham is always cool, as far as I'm concerned. I only have one shirt so far and I always make sure to wear it when I roast marshmallows in the spring/summer. It just feels right. (I wear a flannel when I roast in the winter).
Girrrll we have the same school uniform :))
ReplyDeleteJust read an article about how gingham is in (again you're in & didn't even know it) both in fashion & home dec. Love your gingham shirts! Jan
ReplyDeleteI love gingham! I am so jealous that you found both of those thrifting! I don't own anything from JCrew, but I am convinced that someday I am going to find my first item at a thrift store - the hunt continues!
