So here we are at the finale of the gingham dress challenge. Hallelujah! I can hear you all shouting.
When I originally spotted this dress I knew it was full of creative styling opportunities. Gingham lends itself to many combinations. The fact that this dress is black and white makes it extra versatile.

Starting with a quick recap of what we saw last week…

Outfit #12 of 13 ways to style a gingham dress.
Wearing the dress as a duster/coat. That is the brilliant thing about button up dresses, you can wear them like a jacket.
Aren’t those pants groovy? You’ll be seeing more of those soon as they are my favourite right now.

You have outdone yourself with this challenge Suzanne. And yes–those pants are magnificent. (I don’t suppose they will be going up in your shop anytime soon?—if they do and you remember…..give me a shout)
The duster idea, has been one of my faves ever since seeing it a couple of years back (on someone who I can’t remember)—it creates a whole different look, and is so smart for traveling!!

Those pants were also a recent retail purchase so they won’t be going in the shop. Sorry!
I love that dress no matter which way you style it. But I’ m really liking those yellow print pants with it.

Aren’t they fun? When I saw them I knew immediately they’d work with the dress.
This challenge has been an absolute treat! you’re so good at thinking up different and stylish ways to wear that dress. You could be one of those scary minimalists with a capsule wardrobe if i didn’t know you better! xxx
Ha ha! Don’t give me nightmares Vix! This was already boring me to death by the end. I still love the dress but it felt like I’d worn it for a month straight.
All of these looks say “Suzanne” to me, but my favorite has to be the dress worn as duster. Not only do I like doing that myself for button-down dresses, but THOSE PANTS!!! They rock. Can’t wait to hear more about them.
So…I assume you’re keeping the dress? 🙂

Oops…my bad. Yes! I’m keeping this dress. After all this I’d be crazy not to.
Drooling over outfit iteration number 12 ! Gingham dress as duster over that fab yellow print pants, takes the cake. ah mazing !!
Hope all is well..
Quick aside question… was thinking about your diet and everything tiny do not eat…
Do you eat a lot of tofu?

What do you mean by tiny?
I do eat tofu. Not tons, but I eat it about once or twice a week.
You give us so many good ideas. Your creativity is a super-power!
It’s a decent superpower to have : )
You certainly succeeded in this challenge, Suzanne. I very much doubt I’d been able to come up with 13 different ways to wear that dress. The dress worn as a duster over that fabulous pair of trousers is a definite favourite, coming very close to my overall favourite, which is the dress worn with the plaid jacket! But do tell us whether you’re keeping the dress. I’m guessing that’s a yes? xxx
Yes! I inadvertently left out the bit that I’m keeping the dress. I know it inside out now ; P
woww, these posts have been so brilliant and inspiring!, and I’ve enjoyed all of them!. So many good ideas!. And now you share even more fabulousness, and three new outfits!
I think that I would pick number 12 as a fav, the dress worn as a duster over those groovy pants. I do love the fab layering, and yellow shoes are perfect!. Lots of possibilities!

I love a button-up dress, I’m so happy that they’re in all the shops this year! I think my favourite has to be with the red and black tartan jacket over the top.
Thank you for the inspiration. 🙂

Where is this dress from, is it the Calvin Klein one? Doesn’t seem to be for sale in the UK and even the cheapo New Look copy has sold out! You are very creative in your styling ideas X
Oh I love outfit #12! That dress (coat) really is versatile- I’m glad you decided to keep it 🙂
Finally… she gives us the verdict: she is keeping the dress. I should certainly hope so. Outfit 12 is a really good one too.
