*This post is not sponsored by Pam Munson but she did gift me the bag seen above, and I have to say I am one of her biggest fans. I wrote about her as a Woman of Substance years ago, and then had occasion to cross paths with her while living in New York, and she is The Real Article: elegant, bright, compassionate, hard-working, kind. I love supporting women entrepreneurs like her.
I have been wearing a lot of gingham pieces this fall season — I love that this print can transition so easily from summer to fall with the right accessories! — and was absolutely floored when the talented Pam gifted me her gorgeous Gardner tote in blue gingham. I immediately trotted it out with my tiered gingham maxi skirt (few sizes left, but very similar here and here), a tissue turtleneck, my go-to navy drivers, and this gray sweater over my shoulders (seen above). I wish I’d had this dramatic SEA cardigan in navy instead to throw over my shoulders, but I ordered it and it was just way too big on my frame. Below, some additional styling options that jumped out at me…
SEA DRESS // LE MONDE BERYL MARY JANES // PAM MUNSON GINGHAM TOTE // SEA CARDI // TURTLENECK // GAP SKIRT // J. CREW CARDIGAN // AGOLDE JEANS // SHERPA CLOGS // BYTIMO BLOUSE // CORDS (UNDER $100) // PUMPS (ON SALE!)
I also immediately imagined pairing the bag with a copper-toned dress like this or this or this and some velvet flats in a similar color like these or these, and maybe a cableknit cardigan on top, finished with a leather headband to tie in with the leather trim of the bag.
And of course it would look fabulous with jeans — I have been wearing these Agoldes a lot lately — and imagine with this pearl sweater and clog boots or sherpa clogs or brown suede pumps (which are currently in my cart). I have been contemplating purchasing a knit gilet/vest like this or this to layer over white blouses like this, finished with cords…the gingham bag would add just the right amount of interest/pattern to the look!
A few other gingham pieces I love for fall…
J. CREW CARDIGAN // ETSY HEADBAND (UNDER $10) // SEA BLOUSE // FAITHFULL GINGHAM MIDI // MADEWELL DRESS // KNIT VEST // MANGO DRESS // MARGAUX MULES // TURTLENECK // GAP SKIRT // TOTE // PUMPS // KITRI BLOUSE // GAP BLOUSE // FAUX LEATHER HEADBAND
THIS GAP BLOUSE (OR THIS SIMILAR VELVET OR EMERSON FRY)
THIS DOEN, WHICH I OWN IN RED — SOLD OUT IN THAT COLOR, BUT STILL AVAIL IN BLUE AND MARIGOLD!
THIS BYTIMO DRESS (VIBE FOR LESS WITH THIS)
THIS PUFF-SLEEVED BEAUTY WOULD ABSOLUTELY WORK WITH A CREAM CABLEKNIT CARDIGAN AND SUEDE BOOTS
THIS EMBROIDERED COLLAR BLOUSE
THIS IS A BIG STATEMENT FOR UNDER $100 BUT COULD BE TRES CHIC
THIS PADDED HEADBAND (UNDER $10)
P.S. Two color trends I love this season: chocolate and burgundy.
P.P.S. Do you negotiate?
