CHAMBRAY + DENIM

CHAMBRAY BLOUSE: FRANCHESA'S COLLECTION - SIMILAR HERE - $23   //   DISTRESSED JEANS: TARGET - SAME HERE - $30   //   HEELS: LC BY LAUREN CONRAD FOR KOHLS - SIMILAR HERE - $104   //   EARRINGS: KENDRA SCOTT - SAME HERE - $65   //   BAG: c/o VERA BRADLEY - SAME HERE - $266

I'll admit it, this outfit was risky. Denim + Chambray, not to mention two light shades, is certainly not for everyone. That being said, these are two of my favorite pieces in my closet and I couldn't decide which one to go with - so I picked both! These distressed jeans have a price tag just too good to pass up. Jeans under $30? Steal. I picked them up on a recent trip to Target that started with me running in to get a greeting card and ended up staying for two hours, naturally. 

I decided to pair this outfit with one of the best Fall bags! This calf-hair cheetah print satchel from Vera Bradley is literally the perfect size. I think fashion has been fickle with bag sizing lately. Two years ago, the bigger the better! More recently, the mini cross-body bags have been all of the runways. With the fashion changing so fast, it's important to choose investment pieces.

So here it is denim + chambray. What's the verdict?

SHEER BLACK: HOW TO WEAR A NEUTRAL BLOUSE 101

Blouse: F21, Necklace: America's Mart, Jeans: A&F, MaryJanes: GoJane

Sheer is back, but just not enough. Stores shelves are lined with the

 see-through but the prices dont seem to be shifting even though the fabric

 is fragile. What can be done about the slinky-sheer? 

Well, for starters embrace the essentials. Every lady should own a basic 

white, black & nude colored tank to pair under any blouse. 

After that? Be versatile. Dress up your blouse by tucking it into a sleek 

pencil skirt or maybe even a flowy summer skirt. Mix it up by dressing

 the top down and accentuating your favorite piece of jewelry.
