TREND TO TRY: GRID PRINTS

Every now and then I notice a trend that’s actually worth buying into (and usually after it’s withstood a season or two). This fall it’s grid prints (aka windowpane prints), a slight twist on the classic and simple patterns that tend to dominate my wardrobe year-round. Think of grid prints as a bolder alternative to your go-to gingham, plaid, or stripes. The styling is up to you: wear a windowpane sweater with a skirt or jeans and call it a day or go matchy-matchy and layer two grid prints in the same color palette.

Fun fact: Carly and I actually spotted this woman in line at Starbucks less than ten minutes before this photo was taken last year and we both loved her look. Fast forward to a year later and I’m finally feeling brave enough to try it myself…!
