Chambray

I have noticed that chambray has become quite popular lately. For me, it is definitely one of my go to pieces if I am leaving the house to meet up with friends for coffee or just running errands. Its basic material and style allow it to go with practically everything.

The light tones and thin material of the top and the skirt are practical for the summer months.The chiffon material of the skirt is a breathable material for the dreaded summer heat and gives an illusion of elongated legs. The use of black and metallic accents are used throughout the outfit with the clutch, the flats, and the jewelry. It is important to be consistent with the metals. The mixing of, for example, steel and bronze becomes messy. There is a fine line between grungy and tacky . If you plan on buttoning the chambray top, tuck the necklace underneath the collar, if not, having the necklace just lay on th collar bone overpowers the collar detail. Finally, the flats give that effortless look and are not too formal for a lunch date with the girl friends.
