White Gingham Peplum Top + Cash Giveaway!

One of my favorite things about spring is seeing our local cherry trees in full bloom. All of the blooming flowers basically say "Oh hey, it's spring now!" but cherry blossoms are my favorite. The University of Washington (my alma mater) is famous for its beautiful old cherry trees in the Quad, and people always flock there this time of year to take family photos, engagement photos, wedding photos, etc. The park I took today's outfit photos at, however, is a hidden gem called Kobe Terrace Park in the International District with its own set of beautiful blooming cherry trees. We had the place to ourselves Saturday morning, and it was the perfect spot to photos of this spring outfit. This white gingham peplum top is a recent purchase and my new favorite spring piece! I absolutely love the flattering peplum shape and subtle gingham print. This top is available in both petite and regular sizes (I'm wearing a 2P), but since it isn't quite warm enough to wear a sleeveless top yet I layered a long-sleeved button-up shirt underneath. In today's outfit, I added skinny jeans, a classic trench, nude pumps, and my favorite monogrammed clutch. I can also easily swap the jeans for a pencil skirt for the office--I just ordered this faux suede pink one and am excited to see it in person. Please scroll through for more photos, outfit links, and more of my picks for spring gingham pieces.
