Summer’s Coolest Fabric: Chambray

Outfit Inspiration

20 Aug

Dress: Kate Spade Chambray Patio Dress

Shoes: Tony Bianco Light Denim Kira Sandal

Handbag: Fendi Flowerland Wallet on a Chain

 Chambray is a classic and timeless fabric, however it also happens to be super on trend right now! It’s known as denim’s lighter more breathable and more versatile counterpart. It”s really popular for spring and summer because of its lightweight nature and ease of wear — and it’s so perfect for pregnancy! It’s easy breezy and the fabric gives.  I love wearing  chambray on a hot summer day because I know it won’t stick to me and it’s super breathable.  I have a number of tops in the fabric, but when I spotted this maxi dress I fell in love! The color blocking, maxi length and flared skirt make this dress a showstopper!
Typically the fabric tends to be more casual, but this chambray maxi is definitely anything but casual!  Although I styled the dress a bit on the dressier side, you can also dress this look down quite a bit by wearing it with wedges of flats. It would also be just as cute with a cardigan over it on a chillier night as well.  The styling options are endless with this number!
I wore this darling dress when exploring the Chicago History Museum.  I decided to dress the look up a little bit bit on this hot Chicago summer day by wearing matching chambray sandals.  Who knew that there was such a thing as chambray sandals! I’m smitten with these and have worn them with skirts and denim too! Aren’t they so cute? I carried a pretty, colorful floral purse to add some pops of color to the look.
Do you love chambray as much as I do? Although it’s super trendy now, I always considered it a true classic.

I was born a fashionista… you would think I was wearing a hot pink tulle skirt and a cropped lace blouse, size: newborn. That’s how far back my passion for all things fashion goes — for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a little girl the creative fashionista fire in me has burned bright, and as I sit here today I have that same spark sizzling on and on….

I think of my style as romantic and feminine — but also creative and accessible. I like to be bold and creative with my outfit choices, styling pieces that one may not think would work with another piece. I believe that confidence comes not only from within, but also how you present yourself on a daily basis. When you walk out the house wearing a cute outfit that you feel good in, you are bound to smile! I hope to give you the confidence to put on that pleated skirt that’s been sitting in the back of your closet and feel like a million bucks prancing around in it!

I hope to instill that same confidence in my precious little princess, Madeline. Taking after her mommy, she already loves playing dress up – and you better believe that she always has a smile on her face!

I have had the pleasure of working with brands such as: Amazon, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, Christian Louboutin, Henri Bendel, Rent the Runway, and REVOLVE Clothing to name just a few. I have been featured in Crain’s Chicago Business, InStyle, and on WGN-TV.

If I give you just one idea for styling an outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks, then I will consider my work a success.
