Yesterday I hosted a vintage gingham themed summer party. At last the sun is 90% reliable here in Portland. Who else better to enjoy the lovely day with than some vintage clothes wearing gals?

After proposing the party idea two or three months ago, I put in an ebay search for gingham. I was lucky to find a 1930’s gingham dress that was to die for! Finding a hat to compliment was a harder task but weeks before the party I found one on etsy from AlexSandra who is local to me in Portland. The hat is tagged a New York Creation. I paired it up with some white Chie Mihara sling back heels from many many seasons ago that I found on ebay too.
