This dress always makes me think of a checkerboard, especially since I usually pair it with red accessories. I always enjoyed playing checkers as a child. My sisters and I had a two-sided game growing up: one side with the typical checkerboard, and the other with Chinese checkers. For some reason, we never learned to play the Chinese checker side... I have no idea why! I still don't know how to play to this day.
Checkers also makes me think of a certain scene from
Overboard, one of my favorite movies ever. It is such a quotable movie. "Eat your checkers!" Check out the clip below.
