Smart Casual in Chambray

It has been one of those hectic weeks where everything seems to be happening all at once. It usually gets that way at this time during the semester, which I like to call "the second round of midterms." Luckily, the weather has been absolutely beautiful for the beginning of November, allowing me to wear dresses and skirts without freezing my butt off.

My love for chambray shirts goes way back. Chambray is a light, denim-like material- I love the fabric because it is cotton and the color can be worn with almost anything. In this case, I chose a light khaki pencil skirt to pair the shirt with. The polka dot accent on the button down also adds a unique and playful quality.

Shirt: Marshalls

Skirt: Target

For texture, I paired this shirt with a beaded flower statement necklace inspired by the ones from J Crew. I love pairing button downs with statement pieces because it adds interest and substance to the outfit. It makes takes something ordinary, and makes it more special.

Necklace: Stein Mart 

Loafers: Urban Outfitters

This is a smart casual- neat, yet informal- look for fall. 

Best,
