Sew Cute: OOTD: Gingham Girl

Can you tell I have a slight gingham obsession? Gingham is my go to print for spring and summer. I love the checkered look to it. Plus gingham and pastels go hand in hand. But, this dress mixes things up by taking a black and white spin on gingham. Normally I'm not a big black person, but I make exceptions for a dress this cute!

To add a pop of color I paired the look with these bold red statement earrings from Kendra Scott. During spring I love wearing bold statement earrings. I have quite the huge collection. Something about cute spring dresses and statement earrings just goes hand in hand for me. As you probably know, I am a big accessories girl. So statement earrings are right up my alley. But, if you don't feel bold enough to wear big earrings try out a statement necklace first then work your way up to a statement earring.

Ruffles are also a recent obsession of mine. There are so many cute layered and ruffle tops this season it's giving me major girly vibes. I'm not complaining! I love spring fashion because it caters to my sense of style. Everything is girly, pastel, and floral which is perfect in my book. I'm so sick of the dreary weather and dark outfits. Now that it is warmer outside I'm breaking out my Lilly and bright colors from the back of my closet.

Fun fact: This is Carrie Champan Catt Hall at Iowa State. Catt was actually a Pi Phi believe it or not, and she was a major player in the women's suffrage movement. I'm in a History of American Women class right now so excuse my dorky fun facts. But, it's been super cool to learn more about women of America's past. Including this killer Pi Phi who won us the right to vote!
