Fashion Forward: Chambray

I'm kinda in love with chambray for the fall. I'm not advocating a Canadian tuxedo (unless that's your thing, in which case keep on keeping on). Just a little lightweight denim in an unexpected way. Perhaps a shirt with colored denim on bottom, or a dress with tall boots for the fall, or a bright dress with chambray shoes.

There are a lot of possibilities, and here are a few of the items I love. I've mixed up price points, added a few options for little girls, and the skirt (No. 3 directly below) is a plus-size find I am loving (plus it's on clearance, holler!).

Would you wear chambray? If so, what would you pair it with?

Psst: I'm linking up with Deanna's Fall Fashion Week. I would post what I'm wearing, but it's the same stuff I wear year-round (it is not fall in L.A. by a long shot). So we can dream. Pretend I'm wearing that chambray skirt with tall brown boots (if ever I were to find a pair that fit) and a rust-colored long-sleeved shirt. Got it? Good!

    Funny that you post this! I just listed a J. Crew chambray tunic that I was thinking about keeping and pairing with a pair of black leggings and some knee-high boots (don't ask me which ones because I can't locate any of my boots at the moment).

  7. Thanks! I would totally do your Kelly Kapowski look with a chambray button-down tied in the front. Like so:

  8. I felt the same way about leggings, but then they took the stirrups off and I fell in love again. I'm a sucker for recycled fashion!

    This being said, I am a little hesitant about neon. A little.

  9. I'm late to the chambray party but you're selling me. I like the bottom left one the most! So cute.
