I love this! YLF in a gingham check, and the colour combo is so fresh. I think all the pieces look great--your shoe choice is perfect and you also have white in the shirt so I think you nailed it. I can't see the full bag (and on my phone so pic is small). But it looks like it might work as a crossbody, which could update its vibe if you feel it's old? From what I can see the bag's shape looks like a lot of the crossbody styles I've seen.

Yes, I can wear the bag as a crossbody. I even tried a photo wearing it that way but it didn't turn out. The bag is a bit deeper than my daytime clutch bags and a simple style.

Joy I think this is a great take on the ensemble. I am so used to seeing gingham in blue or black that the yellow is very refreshing. It works really well with the blues too.

Terrific! You could add more white, in a handbag, since that suits you well, but this is fab!

What a fun casual interpretation! I really love the shoes and think they do a lot to update it all.
If you keep rescuing the bag from the donate bin, it sounds as if it fills a need. :)

What a fresh-looking outfit. I love the sporty vibe, and your new loafers look fantabulous with the pants. I agree with Suz--the purse is making itself useful enough to retrieve, so I'd hang on to it until you no longer find yourself reaching for it.

Great shoes, love the outfit. I don't think the bag looks dated at all. It's a great color.

I love your interpretation Joy. Gingham has to be one of my favourite prints, I would so easily wear this look myself. The crop jeans, which are also very on trend, make this a perfect for the Summer too.

Carole, Donna, Thistle, Mira, and Cheryle, thank you for the boost for this outfit.
Rebecca, Firecracker and Suz, the handbag. Yes, it needs a reprieve from donation for now. Unfrumped, I could use a white bag. Good idea.
Rebecca, Ankita, Firecracker and Suz, I'm happy with these new loafer/slip-on sneaker hybrids and that you feel they look good with this outfit.
Angie, it is fun to do a retro preppy outfit for a change. I didn't see the preppy until you mentioned it.
Una, I love this shirt and it's unorthodox color for gingham. Thank you.

Color Queen, I missed your reply. I enjoy gingham, often mixed with other prints.
