Giddy for Gingham (See Jane Click Her Heels)

Whether it’s on display at a picnic via the tablecloth or splattered across your bathing suit, nothing says summer like gingham prints .  It’s a universal print that’s been around for decades–even Dorothy couldn’t resist its checkered charm…

My friend has the quintessential summer top:  J Crew, gingham, sweetheart neckline/halter combo, i.e. perfect.  I attempted to find a summer gingham top to call my own last month and discovered this top by Gemma; I haven’t pulled the trigger yet as it only started warming up here in Chicago.  I have, however, quenched my insatiable thirst for gingham (giant, mind you) in the meantime with the J Crew shirt I bought last weekend.

Now that it’s finally warm:
