While I was pondering on what was going to be my first official blog post I realised, while looking through pretty much everything I own, that I have a lot of black and white gingham pieces - all I'm missing is a pair of shoes and my collection would be complete.
The crop top is light and not restricting at all, I could go to the gym in it - if that was something I did of course. I must say, I do have a lot of love for this top because first of all, it's a stretchy fabric and as comfy as pyjamas (okay, almost as comfy). Secondly, it makes the most of your body shape. Never hide it, embrace it!
I paired these 2 gingham pieces with a leather skirt and jacket aka my essentials - which go with absolutely everything! Make-up wise I decided to go for a simple cat eye combined with black lips - the usual.
To add some texture I'm wearing patterned tights and if, like me, you're of a restricted height, heels make a necessary addition. I urge you to add gingham to your wardrobe as I have. I hope you've found inspiration and happy shopping!
