Embracing New Trends - Gingham

Ok, so I'm not really one for following new fashion trends as tbh - I'm probably going to be shot for this - a lot of the time I find them to be actually extremely ugly. Yes I said it. Now of course this is only MY opinion and I know a lot of people love certain trends that come out. I wish I did, but the majority of the time I hate them. 

For instance the gingham trend, now don't get me wrong I actually do love the pattern but I find that a lot of the time the actual clothing the pattern comes on is horrendous, in particular the shape and the fit. Some of them are just not flattering on anyone (again my opinion). I don't find them to be suitable for every day wear. So I decided to scout out some more wearable clothing that still fall in line with this trend. 

New Look is always the site I go to when purchasing clothing that is currently 'in' and that may not be in in a few months as it isn't too expensive and doesn't really matter if you only get a few wears out of it!

So with less of the blabbering here are my favourites!

Outfit Of The Day (OOTD)

Sunday is basically the only day during the week that I actually wear normal clothes. The rest of the week Im in uniform for work. I didn't realise when I bought this top that the slits on the arms go ALLLLL the way from the shoulder to the wrist. Which does not make for a flattering look when your elbow and all your arm pop out!! Even my boyfriend told me to keep my jacket on hahahaha. Whoever designed this top should be shot. I'm going to put a stitch or two down the slits at the elbow to keep them closed so I can keep wearing it without rocking some weird batwings. Its a shame because its such a lovely blouse, I'm loving tie front tops this season they pair perfectly with mid-high waisted jeans!
