If you're not keen on wearing florals for spring, one perennial pattern that is going to make the best alternative is gingham. It has a classic appeal that is similar to polka dots or stripes. In some regard, it can be edgy too. By now, you have probably seen gingham all over the blogosphere and on the street. I admit - I am not a fan of gingham at first. But it slowly won me over and has now been converted into a fan of its sophisticated style. To inspire you to jump in on the trend, if you haven't already, here are some pieces to inspire you:

When talking about timeless prints, there is one that rules them all: stripes. It never goes out of style and is never redundant. Over the past few years, there have been many stripes styles that have emerged further cementing its status as a classic pattern. And you probably can tell that I love this pattern so much judging by the many looks I've featured showcasing stripes (see here, here and here)! And today, you can add another one to the list...

I got this striped maxi dress from Rosegal since I was searching for a comfortable tank maxi dress to wear to an upcoming vacation in Southeast Asia. And anyone whose explored Southeast Asia knows how punishing the heat can get. Hence, I am gathering items that are easy to wear and helps to keep me fresh when I am out and about! I am not going to spill any details yet as to where we are going, but I will be sharing some glimpses in the future! I am just so happy that this dress was as comfortable and refreshing as can be, so this will definitely be making it to my packing list.

As part of the Trend Spin linkup today, I am excited to see your striped pieces! Be sure to linkup below!
