Color Me Styled - Chambray 2 Ways

Chambray 2 Ways

Since we don't have access to unlimited closets or get free clothes to wear from designers just because we're so stylish we have to make the stuff we've got go further. One of a "staple" for your closet, a Chambray shirt. It can be dressed up and down for a variety of events and because it is denim, it goes with anything!

For a garden party pair your chambray tunic with floral shorts, bright wedges and a wicker bag. Keep jewelry light and sparkly with jewel tones, just like twinkle lights! A large cocktail ring is essential and will easily be put on display when sipping champagne.

If you're headed to a beach bash, harbor party or sailing trip find a madras print short and top-siders for a casual but not overly nautical feel. A canvas tote bag allows you to pack sunscreen, a hat and extra sunnies with plenty of room for a towel and swim suit if a dip is on your agenda. Think neutral colors for jewelry and fabric or rope materials.

A party go-to is always a dress, but keep in mind that at a garden party you may be sitting on stumps or ledges and near the water there are typically breezes. To avoid any unmentionables from coming into view a cute short will keep you covered. Plus, you'll be just a bit different than all the other girls!
