Happy Easter! He is risen! Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays. It never fails to get me in a spring state of mind. Today I will be sharing the outfits I wore throughout Easter weekend.

GaGa for Gingham

Hello, friends! The flowers in my yard are starting to bloom and nothing makes me happier! Spring is here y'all! The other day, the J.Crew catalogue came in the mail and I opened the cover to find it filled with my favorite pattern, gingham. After I read through the gingham index and flipped through the gingham-filled magazine, I went straight to my closet to find my favorite shirt... which of course is a gingham shirt. (I wasn't dropping hints there, was I?) I started styling it right away. For today's post, I have compiled seven different outfits with my gingham shirt. I purchased it here. Join the gingham craze and add one of these shirts to your spring wish list-- the options with this shirt are endless!

I was nominated by two lovely bloggers for for the Liebster Award. Thank you so much, Julia from The Velvet Runway  and my good friend, McKenzie from Styled By McKenz for nominating me! I started Merging Threads in mid January. So I'm still learning all the ends and outs of blogging. So far, I have been loving it and I appreciate all the support that everyone has given me.
