guys in gingham

many years ago my dear friend erica (of the e list) infamously sold me a gingham suit. to say the least my 5 foot 1 and a half inch frame looked beyond ridiculous amassed in nothing but navy gingham. ( i will add that the jacket also boasted an extremely unflatttering peplum style)
so to be honest i was surprised that upon noticing a slew of gingham and checks this spring at how in love i was with the look. i realize that this here is no gingham suit with the peplum..but i was pretty sure i could never look at it again without being sad.
in fact i ran right out and bought 2 shirts in the fabric for the hubs for daddy's day. he has yet to put them on!
i am even thinking i might need one.
will i be able to rock the look?
i am worried!
