Good Monday morning my friends. I’m back…not quite up to my prime time form, but I couldn’t let Visible Monday #100 pass by without participating. My mind is still a little lazy, hence the abbreviated post, but it feels so great to have been able to enjoy a lovely evening walk along the shore. The tide was almost at it’s highest point, the sun was a golden glow, and the breeze was light. I found a feather along the path, which tells me that I am on the right path.

Gingham on gingham. Red on pink on pink on white What better way to celebrate feeling well again. The red jacket was a great find! I love the buttons. I wish I had a photo of my rear view to show off the double vent and plackets. Well done Cold Water Creek! The gingham capris are dark pink, and the shirt is two shades of pink on white. My flats are perfect for walking…okay not so great for walking on the beach; the peek-a-boo toe was like a mini sand shovel. Barefoot next time, I promise.

Morning, Sue. You look like you're feeling better – in fact, you look like you're in the pink! Or red. Or both! Lovely strong colors, and I'm so jealous that you get to walk on that beach all the time!
Have a great week!
What a great look! I read recently that the best way to pattern mix is to combine bit patterns with little, like you have done here. You are proof that really does work!
Glad to hear you're feeling better…you certainly look great!
Love, love that! Great color and I love the jacket with those great capris.
I absolutely adore this outfit! Wonderfully done!
Good that your are feeling better Sue
I have a little inconvenience too these days, i think maybe they are migraines or i'm coming down with something –
Anyhow, your gingham mix is a marvel, very nice to mix small and big gigham, it has more impact i think
The color is perfect for you, looking your lovely self as always

This is SO WONDERFUL!!! I smile every time I look at it. The pattern mix is perfect and I love how beautifully the accessories work with it.
Hello Sue,
Fine that you feel better. A walk in the evening sun works wonder, I see. You look so cute in the red outfit. I love the gingham mix and the gorgeous red flats. How nice they have a flower on the top.
Take good care of you my dear!

So glad you are feeling better, Sue. And you look great in red and pink and checks. The feather is for sure a good sign : > thanks for sharing with Visible Monday! xoxo
Love the mix, so alive!
I am glad to read that you feel better now. Your pants and shirt seem to have a similar print in different size, and go so well together. Your purse is delightful!
Beautifully done Sue –love the color! I like the warm light in these photos especially the way it highlights your face in the head shot. You look lovely and spirited.

You look as though you are feeling better – that's good! I love the double gingham, it works so well, and the bright colours look pretty and cheerful. So do you! Why don't I have any gingham clothes? What a terrible wardrobe oversight, I must work on that! xxxx
This is a stunning print mix! You did it perfectly when it could be tricky 🙂

Awe, mixing gingham with gingham = brilliant! Only you could pull this one off so well. I'm wanting to do a gingham for a picnic post (can I refer back to this again) since I won't be sporting an outfit even close to this much bizazz. So sorry to hear you have been under the weather, hopefully this cheerful post and ensemble with be just the right medicine.
What a fun look! Love the mixing of the two sizes of gingham checks and the colors are fantastic. Glad to hear that you're feeling better.

The hues of red and pink look great on you and I'm happy that they symbolized your return.
Red is a powerful color and in my family we believed in wearing red on Tuesdays and Fridays. Tuesdays as a recognition to the powerful Saint Michael and Fridays to bring us good luck for the weekend.
This is such a fun and happy outfit! Love the bright red and gingham. I'm glad you got to enjoy a soothing walk along the beach. I'm looking forward to having more of those in the near future!
I'm sorry I couldn't offer you my well wishes when you were at the peak of your cold. Happy to see you're on the mend! I love the photo of you with your leg up – so happy, so full of life. It helps that you're wearing such powerful colours.
Cute outfit! So glad to hear that you are on the mend 🙂
There's nothing like gingham to spell Summer! I have some similar capri pants, yours suit you wonderfully. Get well soon.
I haven´t experimented with gingham yet, ummmmmmmmmmmmmm You are opening a new door for me, ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Fabulous.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
glad you're feeling better! You look great!
Sue… you look like you just emerged from the Sunset! Wow!
Glad you are getting over the awfuls … bad enough to be ill during the winter, but a downright shame to be ill in the Spring.
Looking happy and beautiful. Great clothes, better girl!
Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Woot to the hoot! You look fab 🙂
My favourite dress when I was a wee girl was a yellow, gingham sundress. I miss that dress!
How is it that you have the ability to take gingham and make it grown-up, fun and city chic? Bravo Sue!
I always love reading your posts, Sue 🙂
You have such a refreshing outlook. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better!
Have a wonderful day!

You look fab and you look like you're having fun! All that matters. Good to hear you're feeling better.
Such a fun print!
I would have never thought to mix and match the different styles of gingham but this looks amazing!!!
Fantastic outfit, Sue. Love the double checks.
I love your rather monochromatic look! Sometimes it's even more dramatic to just use different versions of the same color like you did rather than going for the rainbow look–I love it!
What a genius idea. This is the best look ever. Never would have thought of it but I adore it so much.
Sue- double gingham- you are a woman after my own heart. And red/white, a favorite color due is right on the money! Lovely!
PS: Thank you for sharing your colorful self (and shoes) for June's Shoe Shine!
Ha Ha….good one Val!
Thank you Adrienne. I will definitely try this big/little pattern again.
Thank you so much Marla. I also like the balance between the jacket and the capris.
Thank you so much!
I sure hope those migraines have gone…and for good! Take care you!
Thank you so much Evelynne!
Sabine, always a joy to read your kind words!
Thanks Patti…and thanks for hosting VM.
Thank you Claudia. I appreciate your comment!
Thanks Dan. I do love my purses!
Aw, thanks for complimenting the photography! I always appreciate your artist's eye.
Yes, feeling so much better thanks Curtise! Hope you find some gingham to brighten your summer.
Thank you Mrs C!
Thanks Trina…I'd be delighted should you refer back to this post.
Thank you Heather!
Oh, that is so interesting about the significance of red for Tuesdays and Fridays. I have read about people wearing certain colours on certain days. I will look into that further.
Beach walks are indeed the best form of therapy!
Yes, the red/pink combo really lifted me up!
Thanks Flo. I'm still catching up on commenting, but feeling great now.
Yes, if there was a single pattern that said summer for me, it is gingham!
Oh you must try gingham Sacramento!
Thank you Jo-Anne!
Metaphorically and physically, LOL.
Thanks for the woot woot!
Gingham does bring on childhood memories, doesn't it.
Aw, thanks for the kind words Carley!
Thanks for popping by and leaving such a cheery comment.
Hey Natalie! Thanks for stopping by.
Aw, thanks Wendy. Appreciate your comment and your enthusiasm.
Thanks Lisa! You could do this too.
Thanks Rachel. It is a form of restraint for me, LOL.
Thank you Imogen! And you being so creative yourself!
Yup, our hearts are in the same place!
Thank You for hosting Shoe Shine! I've always had a special love for shoes, and it's fun checking out what others covet.
You look joyful and colorful!! Perfect!! I love the feather, too. A walk by the water sounds (and looks!) divine. So glad you're able to enjoy it. XXOO
Look at you in all the colour! : ) Brings a smile to my face for sure.
Glad you are feeling better. A summer cold is the worst.
bisous

Harmonious and radiant in gingham. I love the details on the jacket, your hair tousled by the wind and the whimsical feather. The perfect touch to an already brilliant combination.

The outfit is very cute and great for a dressy summer look.
What an absolutely fantastic bevy of summery (completely Canada Day approved) bevy of red and white gingham. I love everything about this fun, chic, delightful ensemble!
♥ Jessica
*PS* Many thanks for your wonderfully nice blog comment on my vintage outfit post today. It's a total pleasure to “meet” you as well, Sue. I love knowing that you adore the Okanagan, too.
