This is probably the corniest blog title you've ever encountered! Please forgive me! lol

Gingham is really one of my favorite prints because it's classic. Though this print can be worn all year round, there's something about this print that screams summer. It's such a versatile piece in your wardrobe that can be style in many ways.

According to my research, the word "gingham" originated from the Indonesian word genggang, meaning striped. It refers to any medium weight cotton fabric that is dyed before being woven. It has been worn by mods since 1960. Awesome!

For a refreshing look, I paired it with my pants that are so comfy from United Colors of Benetton. The color combination look so well together.

This was my outfit when I attended a seminar at UP Diliman last friday. I took advantage of the nice location to take my outfit photos! haha

Ombre shirts are really one of this summer's hottest trends.. There is just something fascinating about the gradual color change from light to dark.

This is my outfit for today when we attended the mass, and went to Makati after with family. I was really bored yesterday, and got so inspired with this D-I-Y Ombre shirt (link)! so I decided to do my own. I bought this denim polo in a thrift store for only 60php, then Zonrox, plus hot water, then, voilà!  = Instant Ombre shirt! I'm definitively doing this again! ;)

 Good thing, my new blue trousers complemented my "OMBRE" look! These aztec socks are also my favorite! It can easily spice up an outfit. Don't you think?  Thank you to my sisters for taking these photos!

Have a great & productive week! TDA
