My Chambray Challenge -Fashion Friday
Don’t laugh, but chambray is new to me…
I know, it’s been a staple in everyone’s wardrobe for years, but it has alluded me until recently.
I don’t like to iron, so I have avoided all button down shirts for years. I realized though, as I was starting to rejuvenate my wardrobe last December, that I can’t do that. Button down shirts, especially chambray shirts are a true staple in every stylish wardrobe I see. So, I bought 3. Old Navy had both light and dark blue and red, so I ordered them and waited not so patiently for them to arrive.
I have worn each one a couple of times, but I have been a bit repetitive, so I’m giving myself a style challenge.
Next week I will wear each color of chambray shirt that I own 2 different ways. That will give me 6 chambray outfits, 4 in blue and 2 in red. I am looking at this as a pre 30 in 30 challenge challenge. I plan to blog each one, I would greatly appreciate your feed back as I go along.
Here are a few of my previous looks, not to be repeated next week 🙂
I’m linking up with Fashion Friday – Hope to see you back on Monday!

who planned this? 
Your looks so far have been great!
I’m looking forward to seeing what you get up to over the next 6 days.
Cheers,

Thanks – I’ve kept it pretty safe – going to try something diffierent I hope… maybe color combos or unexpected layers… and maybe there just is not that much your can do with chambray and my “challenge” will be a dud. At least it has me thinking again 🙂
It’s always good to try something new. Gets the old gray cells firing again! I saw something called the Uniform Project last night. She spent a year wearing the same little black dress every day but styled differently. It was amazing! I’ll be going back to look at it just to admire her creativity!
Cheers,
Laura
oh – that soundsd interesting! I’ll have to look for that to 🙂 I might never do laundry again!
Wouldn’t that be grand!
But I would hope the dress was alundered occaisionally or that she had a really good perfume!
Cheers,
Laura
so true! I found the blog – don’t love the dress but the fashion has some fun inspirational moments…
True, I could see why the dress ended up soooo accessorized! But it did make me think about the importance of accessories. I’ll probably have to do a few post just about changing the look of an outfit just with accessories.
Cheers,
Laura
Nicely done! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next week!
I bought some fun zebra espradrilles today, I think they will make a showing! 🙂
I heart a good chambray shirt!
What is it that makes a button-down shirt a chambray?
Erin, actually its the fabric that makes it a chambray- chambray is a thin jean type material. Thanks for visiting ! 🙂
