I got this skirt in a charity shop today, will it look ridiculous on me:-

Yes, don't forget if you're on the shorter side or, god forbid, carrying a few extra pounds, to always dress only in shapeless garments, preferably black so you don't stand out too much...

Wear it, OP! It's joyful!

I am a 12-14 but trying to lose weight. Stuff it though it’s getting worn!

A lady on social media Robynmia (tik Tok, instagram) she does a lot of styling clothes she bought from a charity shop and she puts outfits together you would never think of and looks amazing... This is definitely up her street , ignore the haters, big up the charity shop bargains!

This was her styling a similar dress recently.

I love it. I love gingham but DH absolutely hates it, and as he is not usually that fussed what I wear, I avoid it. But I am jealous of your find. I'd love to wear that. Gorgeous happy retro 1970s summer days vibe.

oh dear! Shades of 'Oklahoma!' or 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' I'm afraid😄

Sorry, but gingham just gives me school summer dress vibes.

Yes I saw that or similar.

Think they’re in now and I like it. With boyish accessories.

That sounds lovely! I'm mid 50s and would wear with vest tops/band t-shirts hi tops/converse chunky sandals.

Loads of gingham in the shops at the moment.

Until I googled I hadn’t noticed. I barely go to shops these days.

I love it! I'd go classic with a white t or white shirt & either trainers or mary janes, but you could do some colour blocking with a hot pink or orange t shirt

I had one like that circa 1978. But I had a little bit of white lace that peeped under the bottom.

Oh, a band tshirt is a good call.

I've got a red gingham dress so am now browsing Vinted for different jumpers and sweatshirts to wear over it!

I think it's lovely, I've got a similar one from nobody's child in black and cream. There's lots of gingham print around this year

I quite like it

Can’t seem to share but got a red t shirt from H&M today and have an &other stories cropped red tie top coming soon.

I've got a red and white gingham maxi skirt and I wear it with a very pale blue t-shirt - still fresh but different from white. I also like red with coral for summer, or a pale yellow might work.

I’ve got a white vest top but no white t. I also have gold hoop Huggies, red bead necklace and red beaded bracelet and a Red Crescent bag. Would hi top trainers look silly with it?

That all sounds great. I love high top trainers with maxi skirts & dresses. I wear my neutral converse boots with long dresses. Definitely don't think you'll look silly!
