Gimme Gingham
A crisp gingham check seems to just scream summer. I love gingham and I’m on the hunt for it at least seventy-eleven times a week when I scour the web for the elusive gingham dress that I really want to own. I almost found it last week. See below!
It’s a shirt waist dress that’s cross-stitched with horses which just happen to be my spirit animal. Yes. I said spirit animal. I’m as freaked out by the idea of a spirit animal as you might be. Alas, I love horses and have been a horse lover as long as I can remember so what else am I to do but embrace the idea that it’s my spirit animal?
No worries, I’m not gettin’ all New Age freakazoid on you. Er…then again, I might go get some crystals and lay them on my forehead if it would make the perfect gingham dress come my way. This here red one with the horseys on it has a 27 inch waist. My mid-section hasn’t been 27 inches since the New Age movement started. Maybe I could get some crystals for that, too. (Hmmm…it’s all suddenly all beginning to sound very appealing, this New Age thing.)
Because one gingham dress isn’t enough to whet anyone’s appetite, I thought I’d do a quick mini round-up of gingham. There may even be a part two of this entry soon. I love the stuff very much, particularly when it’s all cotton. I included links for you in case you want to grab one of these cuties for yourself–be advised that some are on eBay and may end soon-ish.

Positively gorgeous roundup of gingham pieces! I adore this charming, timeless print, it’s so sweet and soothing, I never tire of wearing – and admiring – it.
Wishing you a fantastic weekend,

I’m ga-ga for gingham myself. Great finds! Jessica, thanks for posting a link to this on your site, Chronically Vintage!
Thanks for including my red gingham dress listing pic! It was hard to let that dress go but a happy lady in Texas bought it. I can’t think of a better home for a lovely vintage Western gingham dress covered with embroidered horses:)

Hi Rebecca. Welcome to my blog! I am so glad that great gingham dress found a new owner. It’s just my speed, but unfortunately, it wasn’t my size. What a great find!
Hope you’ll stop by again at Hollygab.
