How to Wear Gingham at Work

I love this new gingham trend that I see everywhere but I will be honest I have found a lot of the ruffles and gingham impractical for my everyday life.  I love a cute, off the shoulder, ruffled gingham top but I could not figure out how to wear it in my everyday life.  

Most days of the week I am in business attire so I don't like to fill my closet with too many weekend only items.  So what is a girl to do who wants to get on this gingham trend in her everyday work life?

I have found some gingham work staples that I have pictured in these looks plus some other gingham pieces that I think are appropriate to wear in any work setting.
