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.

Basics with a touch of gold



 
 
Shirt- Old Navy similar
sweater- Gap similar
jeans- Levis option
shoes- Ross  option  option
bracelets- Banana Republic, JCPenney, Ann Taylor  option
necklace- Chicos (thrifted)  option

It was 36 degrees Sunday morning but into the 70s by early afternoon. Those days always stump me as to what to wear. The answer is of course, layers. And you can bet a layer got peeled off that afternoon. I also wasn't feeling very creative, so I pulled some very basic pieces and put them together. It's amazing that basics with a few accessories always create an outfit that is beyond basic.

Camo and chambray




skirt- Loft  option  option
necklace- gift option  option
shoes- JCPenney option
worn Jan. 4, 2015

Even though I fought camo up until the minute I bought this skirt, I think it's here to stay for a while. What better to pair it with than a classic like chambray. I pretty much copied the Loft ad on this number. I know many of you are freezing right now, but I was able to bare my white legs at the very beginning of the year because it started with a heat wave. Our weather is a little schizophrenic.

Chambray and eyelet




 
skirt- TJMaxx (old) option option option option
shoes- Belk's option option option
necklace- Our World Boutique option
worn July 20, 2014

I was happy to see eyelet back as a trend this spring and summer because I was already set. I have owned this skirt for several years as part of a matching suit. The jacket doesn't see much wear anymore, but the skirt is still a great piece. It was perfect to pair with two other trendy items- chambray and a statement necklace. Sometimes it's too much to have too many trends in one outfit, but I think this works.

Red shoes




Shirt- old option
jeans- Levis option option
shoes- Forever21
worn June 4, 2014 PM
 
I have been wanting a pair of red shoes for quite some time. I spotted these online at Forever21 and put them on a wish list and watched closely. I finally gave in and ordered them last month after visiting the store and not finding them there. So far, so good. I've never had shoes from Forever 21 but I'm in love with these.
 
This outfit was inspired by Shanna. All I really needed when I saw it was the red shoes. I knew my anchor scarf would work perfectly.

Chambray and colored skinnies



 
Shirt- Old Navy
jeans- JCPenney option option
shoes- Payless option
sunnies- Espirit/ TJMaxx option option
Worn April 5, 2014
 
Should I admit that I wore this outfit THREE times last week? Yep, I did. I wore it to church youth group meeting Wed. night, out to supper Friday night, and threw it on again Saturday morning to go to a yard sale. By the third time, I thought, well, if I'm going to wear it three times, this outfit should definitely make it to the blog.
 
Sometimes I think things are too simple or casual to blog about or even be an "outfit" but then again, that's the charm of some pieces- not much thought required- throw on and go- and still look cute. Chambray shirts and colored skinnies can do just that. Throw on cute shoes, and well, you've just elevated it. The first time I wore this, I was just going to put on a pair of brown flats, but then I saw these plaid deck shoes still out from wearing them the weekend before, and realized they would match. I'm not much into matchy, matchy anymore, but I thought these worked. Needless to say (since I wore this three times on one week) this whole outfit was very comfy.
 
If you read from a reader, you may not have noticed the widget, but I've opened a closet at Poshmark to sell some things I can't and don't wear. Please check it out.

Red and chambray- a new classic

 
 
 
 
 
 
Blazer- Belks option
shirt- Old Navy similar
jeans- Old Navy similar
shoes- mule high heel clogs- old option
clutch- thrifted option
Worn March 15, 2014
 
All of the fashion magazines show this pairing of a red blazer and chambray shirt so by now it shoud be dubbed a classic look. I really liked how this outfit turned out so I got a little "snap happy" with the camera. I even threw in a "mean look" up there- haha. Too bad my pics weren't more in focus.
 
I'm really beginning to like clutches for quick trips or evenings out. Just throw in a few essentials and go. And because you carry them as opposed to wearing them on your shoulder, I think they draw a little more attention to an outfit. What do you think?

Sunday dress



 
Cardigan- Belks similar; dress- Target similar
shoes- Payless; bracelet- gift
Worn Nov. 17, 2013

After a very short lived cold front, the temps went back up into the 70's. So... bare legs it is. I've worn this dress before with boots and different necklaces to give it a slightly different look, but this is the first time I've added a cardigan. (And I was just hit with a brainstorm of an idea to add my fur vest and boots...what do you think?)

Any color of cardigan would work with this but I was inspired by this combo.


How would you wear a plain chambray dress?
