Leggings are pretty much my go-to on the days when I am not at work. Just can't beat 'em- they are comfortable, warm, and ideal for playing with a toddler. Since I usually wear them with sneakers of some sort, I usually want to dress in athletic wear on the top too. So in an effort to avoid the whole "sporty spice" look, I opted to go more of the athleisure route. My chambray shirts have been getting a lot more wear these days (more on why I love it here), and this was a great opportunity to Read More
My Minimalism Style: Double the Denim
OUTFIT DETAILS Vest {option} // Shirt {exact} // Jeans {exact} // Boots {option, option, option} // Necklace {exact} Toddlers are messy. Really messy. I legitimately have some form of peanut butter, ketchup or some other remnants of a meal on my clothes in some way, shape or form on the daily. And that’s where the trusty denim comes in… Denim is lovely for a couple reasons: 1) it’s fairly stain resistant and 2) it’s also machine washable, and it gets better with time. Besides being super Read More
Mom Style #29 // Stripes + Chambray
On any given week day when I’m not at work, you can probably find me in workout clothes, possibly having worked out in them or trying to find a way to squeeze one in. But on those rare days when I get a workout in early and have showered and changed my clothes, you will find me in comfy casual clothes like this: a cotton (striped, of course) dress, an optional layer like this chambray button up, and some neutral flats…oh, and a diaper bag to hold all.the.kid.things. The result is a Read More
Red, White and Chambray
With Independence Day around the corner, I had to put together a festive (and comfortable/nursing-friendly) outfit with red, white and chambray blue. I’m counting the white in the embroidery of this top…and in the bird poop on our deck. Just keepin it real… Anyways, I styled this look with the chambray shirt I picked up last month, but the sleeves on this top were all kinds of weird. They were billowy and came too long to be a 3/4 sleeve and too short to be a long sleeve and wasn’t very Read More

Style Swap: Dressing up a chambray shirt with a blazer and statement necklace
Inspiration: Lauren @ Fizz and Frosting I’ve been looking for fun ways to wear my chambray shirt since it hasn’t been getting remixed much since I bought it. For some reason, it seemed too casual to wear on its own at the office, so adding a statement necklace and a blazer really dressed it up. I added some colored denim and boots since it was casual Friday and love how it turned out! Shop the look- Blazer: Target Chambray: J. Crew Factory (polka dot version, dark wash, light Read More
5 Days, 5 Ways: Chambray Shirt
Much like Franish, I had a heck of a time trying to find a chambray shirt. It was an item on my "clothing wants" list for the longest time but I could never find one that fit right, was the color I wanted, etc. etc. So after trying on about a million different chambray shirts, I finally found this lovely one from J.Crew Factory. I absolutely love it! That said, this week Fran and Whitney are hosting a 5 Days, 5 Ways link up. Today is tops so of course I chose my spankin' new chambray to Read More
