Favorite Look: Chambray Shirts

HER

Do you have a favorite look?  Something that when you don't know what to wear, you go right to and know it will work. You know, one of those last minute outfits. Well I know I have one item of clothing I go right to.  I love my chambray shirts.  They are the definition of a to go favorite.  I honestly feel that they are classic and a great item to have because you are able to dress them up or down.  That to me is a total plus.

You can pair these shirts with so many different colors due to their denim color. The shirts are simple so they are fun to accessorize.  Add a chunky necklace or fun scarf with some earrings and you have a complete look.

Here are some of my favorite looks

   

Love the J.Crew necklace with the basic off white sweater and chambray shirt.

This one pictured above is such a great find.  I have been able to come up with some great outfits with this shirt.  A dark chambray shirt is a must for the fall and winter.

These light colored shirts were perfect for the spring and summer.  

Like I said they are pretty much my go to shirt when I am not sure what to wear.  I think it is because I can pair them with black, yellow, orange, pink, really any color pant.  That makes the outfit planning a lot easier for those mornings I am running around trying to figure out what to wear.  I can make these shirts look casual or dressy depending on the accessories and I love accessorizing.

Must Have Monday: Steamer

HER

I used to work retail and we had a steamer for when new items of clothing came out of the box.  Of course they would always come in a wrinkled mess.  Winter would be the worst with all the pants and sweaters.  But anyway, I would steam but wouldn't think twice about it.  

Well let me tell you.  A steamer is a must have for any household!

When we were registering for our wedding, my now husband was like, "Do you really need it? Who is going to buy a steamer for you?  And I responded that I just have to have it.  With no surprise, my mom's good friend got it for me for a bridal shower.  (Did I mention my mom has a heavy duty steamer that the stores usually own for their steaming needs?  No, I don't think I told you that.)  

To be honest, it is a life saver.  I actually look forward to using it and seeing those darn wrinkles come right out!  It's that instant gratitude feeling!

So in the end, to sum everything up, I personally believe that if you don't have one, head over to Macy's, Target, or anywhere for that matter and pick one up.
