Chambray - Three Ways

I stumbled upon these cute chambray pants the other day while online shopping. Typically, when I buy something, I try to think of numerous ways to wear it. It seems silly to buy something that can only be worn one way. Here are a few of my favorite outfit combinations with these pants:

I don't typically wear a lot of flats but I love the print of the ones pictured above. They are much more fun than just a basic sandal and help keep the outfit from looking frumpy. When putting together a casual outfit, I think it is important to think about each piece going into the outfit. Choose a flat shoe with a print, pick a relaxed bag in a bright color, and a top with pretty cut-outs. This casual outfit beats a regular jeans and t-shirt combo any day.

Since I don't wear a lot of flats, this is a casual outfit that is more my style. The slouchy top and baggy pants are dressed up slightly with studded heels, a statement necklace, and funky sunglasses.

What can I say about this outfit except that it is right up my alley? Take a simple tank and dress it up with a statement coat, shiny bag, and edgy necklace. It's easy, effortless, and you will look like a million bucks. I need this outfit ASAP.

Which look above is your favorite?

My hubby and I finally got a date night this weekend. We went to see The Great Gatsby and later, to dinner. I remember telling my sister that I was going to see the movie and I told her that I had never read the book and had no idea what it was about. She said, "Yes, you did Amy! I have your book from high school with your notes in it!" Oh. Oops.

It was a great movie and a great date night. We even went the next day and saw Star Trek (another great movie). Two movies in two days? Things are getting crazy around here!

Have a great day!

I can't believe the multiple ways that I have worn this skirt. When I first bought it, the only option I could think to go with it was a white blouse. You can see the numerous ways I have worn it here, here, and here. Every time I think I have exhausted my resources to create outfits around this skirt, I come up with another one. We will see if this is the last time!

I also decided to mix a few textures together in this outfit. A suede skirt, sequin clutch, and snakeskin shoes mixed together add a little visual interest to this look. Not only is pattern mixing a clever way to make your outfit exciting, texture mixing is a subtle way to give your look a little extra impact.

Have a great weekend!
