a lovely living

When it comes to closet workhorses, my chambray shirt is definitely in the top 5. Every so often I’ll update my go-to, this one being my current favorite, but overall, a denim shirt is a denim shirt. Just as a good pair of jeans coordinate with a million different outfits, a denim shirt can work just as hard. I took some time to play around with various ways I have worn or plan to wear mine during the fall season. Here’s what I came up with…

I love this casual yet pulled together look, not to mention the pretty color combination. The shirt and pants bring some structure and the sweater adds some necessary warmth. A blazer and a sleek bootie could easily be swapped here for a more dressed up look.

I’m far from ‘biker chic’ but that’s the first thing that comes to mind here! Cool vibes with the boots, black denim and cropped jacket give off a laid back yet intentional look.

This lady-like outfit is one I’d wear again and again, especially if I had a reason to dress up regularly! Perfect for a classroom or office, these wide leg pants and suede booties definitely make a statement. A neck scarf adds the perfect accent and gives it a little more personality.

For those with a laid-back lifestyle, leggings are there for you! Spanx leggings are my current favorites and have been for a few years now. They are a little pricy, but the fit and quality are very much worth it in my opinion. I wear the faux leather the most often, but this animal print which is new to me, may end up in a close second. Pair this look with slides or even a solid pair of sneakers and a long cardigan for an easy, on-the-go look.

I hope these looks gave you some refreshing new ideas and a reason to pull out your chambray shirt and put it to work!
