as evidenced last week (here & here), i've fallen hard for gingham this season -especially in classic black and white. despite being a print, it's demure enough to almost act as a neutral, making it crazy versatile for a number of occasions. since pairing it with my cashmere sweater and pumps last friday, i've also ...
