Herringbone, Tweed, Chambray (& my bargain picks)

Blazer: H&M last season (similar in reg XS-L)  Pants: old LOFT  Shoes: Calvin Klein Elara

Top: J.Crew "perfect fit" tee (2010 version) in XXS  Chambray shirt: old Target

Now that mild days are officially over, i'm turning to rugged textures for consolation and heat. i was so happy to re-find out this chambray blouse, now gentle from wash & wear. I wore it to death this spring, however once hot summer season days rolled round, I were given wary of sweat stains (which display up on mild chambray loud and clear) and placed it apart for fall.

for the reason that elbow-patched blazer, trousers, and button-up are so "masculine," I balanced them out with female jewels and leopard pumps. This glowing Sage jewel bib necklace (also comes in blue) was a random pattern sale discover a at the same time as again, and feels light-weight and a bit reasonably-priced - no longer really worth complete rate, in my view. I kept it for the sale charge due to the wealthy jewel tones.

i'm so excited to percentage those low-cost chambray unearths with you guys. My shirt is a cloth wardrobe favorite, and the styling and layering possibilities are limitless. there are many colorings of chambray available, and in my opinion most of them aren't "right." some are too close to denim, a few are too light, and so on. In my ideal international, an appropriate chambray is a softly-colored, balanced weave of denim and linen cloth. It should have a casual match and no longer be snug. right here are my bargain selections:

1. Old Navy Chambray Shirt - 2 colors, available in petite, reg, & tall for $21:
*Update - No more 30% off, but use ONHURRY20 for 20% off until 12/20/11* 

This might be going to be a quite good supplier on ON.com (until something is reduce very incorrect), so get your petite sizing online due to the fact once it is long gone, it is long past! If you may wear normal sizing, ON stores usually have higher income than online so i might take a look at there first.

2. Coldwater Creek Chambray Shirt - P or reg XS - Now $10.19 & free ship!

Now $10.19! Wow - $eleven.89 and loose shipping for what looks like a classically tailored, chambray shirt? I could not accept as true with this deal. I checked out Coldwater Creek's size chart, and a PXS/four lists the measurements 33.5B - 26W - 33.5H...so it's now not for additonal small petites except you are k with a unfastened healthy. I do not like the blue version however the bitter Cherry and light black each look pretty excellent within the pictures. I ordered both of these colorings to check out. Returns are well-known in stores, plus in the event that they do not work out for me, i have a feeling mother would possibly like 'em : )

Readers - How do you style your chambray shirts?
