Freckles in April is starting up a bi-weekly style challenge. She is the one that created the 21 Day Challenge that my sister and I did a few months ago. I had a lot of fun doing it and it really got me thinking more about my clothing. So I'm planning on participating in her style challenges.
Her challenge this week:
I have quite a few things I want to try from my fashion board but I chose to try out this look
I love this look. It has the 3 C's of a summer outfit: cute, casual, and comfortable. I can wear an outfit like this to clean my kitchen, take the kids to the grocery store, or go on a date with the hubs.
I know it will shock you all to hear this, but I do not currently own a chambray shirt. It's been on my "to buy" list for a while now, I just haven't gotten around to doing it. But I do own a button up shirt and a maxi dress and the outfit I came up with is (in my opinion) just as awesome.

Oooh! I love your inspiration and your take on it! I hadn't seen that one before but now I want to try it too. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Just found it while browsing gap.com and wishing I could buy something. But coming up with a new outfit was almost as good. :) Thanks for the link up!
DeleteSo cute! I esp. love the necklace, and how summery this looks w/ the white.
ReplyDeleteI love it, and I don't own a chambray shirt either, don't feel bad. Your teal dress is great and the geometric print one is really sharp looking.
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfit! I love layering shirts over a maxi dress, they are so versatile (and comfortable). I am not a mom, but I am a special education major, SO comfort is definitely key. I strongly encourage you to invest in a chambray shirt at some point (even though this outfit is perfect without one). I swear by mine. In my blog I even refer to it as my "grown up security blanket".
