Hooray for Chambray

Looking for a way to class up your boring fall sweaters?  Layering a sweater over a chambray shirt can create some snazzy looks to take you through the fall season.  There are so many looks you can create - preppy or cozy....it's a great outfit to wear at Thanksgiving dinner with some stretchy leggings to allow for expansion after devouring the turkey and dressing.

Start with a great basic like this from JCrew.

J. Crew Chambray Shirt

Layer over a loose knit or chunky sweater.  Pair with colored tights, feminine skirt, and booties.

Or...wear under a chunky sweater, cardigan, or sweatercoat.  Pair with an equestrian style belt and leggings or jeggings and of course, tall riding boots.

Bring out those colored jeans from the spring!  You can transition into the fall by layering with a sweater.  Bring it back to fall wearing camel boots/booties and carrying a camel purse.

There's always the classic head-to-toe denim look.  Nude shoes and a navy blazer really add lots of class to this look.  Just make sure your shades of denim are varied.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week and Happy Thanksgiving!
