The dress that doesn't quit

If you don't own a chambray dress, then you should. It's the one piece in my closet that just won't quit. It's almost as good, or better, than having the classic chambray shirt.

So, that was a real original title, huh? It's exactly what I'm wearing. I have a foggy brain thanks to the loss of an hour this weekend. I love the longer daylight hours, but it happens naturally, so why do we have to mess with the clock?

 

I based this outfit on a pin I have saved, but I can't seem to find it to link to right now. I guess I have too many pins? The inspiration outfit has sneakers, but I was going to a church and a wedding shower later, so I switched to my leopard flats so I would be a little dressier. This is one of those season neutral outfits that could  work fall or spring.  See how I last wore this dress in the fall HERE and  four more ways HERE.

Tassels and pom poms were trendy accessory items this summer, so I'm late to the party with mine. But let me justify. I came across this scarf on clearance ($3.99) recently and the jewel tones screamed fall to me. It's still too hot for traditional scarves so this light number is perfect. It adds some much needed color to this dress. The suede booties indicate I'm ready for fall, so I think this works great as a summer to fall transition outfit. I picked up these booties last year at TJMaxx while searching for some cognac booties. These are a long  way from cognac but were too adorable for me to pass up. I can't find any quite like them now, so I've linked up some suede wedge choices for you and some cut out ankle booties.

 

Let's talk about this dress too. There was a time when I would have only worn something like this just one way, the way it is and would not have recommended it as a must have. However, I've created so many different looks with this that I'll now say a chambray or denim dress is a must have. It's like a blank palette waiting for you to create with. It goes season to season. You can take this piece right into winter with a utility jacket, tights or leggings and boots, like I did here.

Chambray dress- four ways

Sometimes one single solid piece, like a dress, can be difficult to style in multiple ways. I've found this chambray dress to be very versatile and easy to create different looks season to season by changing accessories and shoes. By the way, the shoes in the first pic are no longer in my closet. They were uncomfortable, not to mention unflattering.
