I have whole-heartedly jumped on the chambray train this summer, in part because the material is so wonderfully versatile. I'm a firm believer that chambray can even be worn to work, depending on your work environment, of course. I recommend pairing a chambray top with a pencil skirt, heeled sandals and a pretty necklace. If you work in a more creative environment, try the look with a skirt in a fun color or print and a statement necklace like I did here. If your work environment is a little more reserved, try the look with a navy pencil skirt and a strand of pearls or pearl stud earrings. If you prefer pants over skirts, try pairing your chambray shirt with tailored khakis or navy blue slacks and a sleek blazer. The key to making chambray work for the office is to pair it with other pieces that are more classic, refined, and sophisticated.

Thank you, Gina! This skirt is one of my favorite pieces of clothing!
ReplyDeleteI wore my chambray shirt to death this spring so I packed it away for a bit when summer rolled in but now I am itching to unpack it. Your pink pencil skirt and cute heels add the perfect touch of sophistication and make this a look that can transition easily from a day at the office to drinks with friends.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree- I just picked up my first chambray shirt a few months ago and LOOOOOVE IT! It looks gorgeous with that fabulous pink skirt!

Great outfit! I love how you styled it with the bright pop of pink and then toned it down with some nude pumps.
