Chambray 5 ways




Oh the chambray shirt.  How I love its many versatile stying ways. So much so, that after a little prodding from my friend Casey, I decided there should be a blog post dedicated to it.

And actually, I should really take this time to thank my friend Emily for giving me this thrifted find. Technically she spotted the shirt first, bought it and then we went to another store and she found an oxford shirt that she liked instead, so I was able to purchase this one from her. It was one of the most glorious $5.00 spends I think I've ever had.

So yeah, back to the versatility of a chambray shirt. You can dress it up or down and wear it from summer to winter. As usual, it's all just a matter of layering, my friends. And yes, I'd even wear this in our hot southern summers...as a bathing suit cover up, of course.

Honestly, this post barely scratches the photographic evidence of how often I wear this shirt. I'll go ahead and say you'll prob see another follow up post to this one later down the road!

Oh and if you want to see the full blog posts for 4 of the 5 outfits above, you can see those here, here, here & here.

Now, what are you waiting for? Go buy a chambray shirt if you haven't already! If you need a few affordable options here's one from Old Navy ($22.50), Target ($22.99) and Forever 21 ($19.80).

Shades of blue


Today's blog post title might seem a little misleading, considering in that my pants look a little more seafoamy green in these pics than the turquoise shade I think they are in real life. But whenever I wear this outfit (which is often) I always think I have this cool semi-monochromatic shades of blue thing going. It's funny how different things can look when you go back to them. Kind of like life, huh?

Also, how funny is it that when Leslie and I picked this spot for the shoot, we both thought it was just leaves on the ground. But then when I was choosing a shoe shot, I realized, nope those are all cigarette butts. Hot, right? Apparently this is where the entire city of Birmingham comes for a smoke break.

Oh and you'll notice in my last photo I decided to try something new and do a fun jump photo like I've seen some other bloggers do. First I'd like to give major props to Leslie who caught me mid air at least 2x with an iPhone. And I'd also like to note that I did not fall or hurt myself in the process even though I am wearing some major wedge-heeled booties. However, I did hurt my abs laughing so hard with Leslie at how ridiculous I am sure that I looked to any passerbys. Good times.

Here's the cheapskate outfit breakdown:

1. Vintage chambray button down, thrifted ($4.99)
2. Turquoise jeggings, Necessary Clothing ($19.99)
3. Scarf, c/o David & Young
4. Bag, Designer Details in L.A. ($40.00)
5. Blue shoes, Necessary Clothing ($19.99)
6. Triangle earrings, gifted (thanks Joy!)
7. Leaf ring, gifted (thanks Em!)
8. Square ring, Brooklyn Flea ($5.00)

Total: Under $100.00
