WhatIWore: When I took my entry level sewing classes in college, we made basic dresses (to learn to tailor for fit) in blue and white 1″ gingham, so it’s always felt a little like a throw away/scrap fabric verses a fashion textile. It’s become pretty popular this season (shown at both DvF and Oscar de la Renta) and has trickled down to fast fashion too.  I’ve pinned some of my favorite looks and tracked down similar pieces to this one in particular. I also bought this gingham two piece swimsuit for the pool this year!
