Time to get fancy with the French chambray!

I have recently realized that I am obsessed with chambray shirts, i.e. mostly lightweight denim. (Who decided to call it chambray…?) It is the easiest to pair with anything - especially other denim, even though that is considered a fashion faux pas. But if you read my blog regularly, you know how I feel about fashion faux pas… 

Enter: out of state family gathering. So I have already come to terms with the fact that I put WAY too much thought into what I am wearing on a daily basis, but it works for me - so whatever. After driving all day to get to Long Beach, I figured an easy outfit that can be thrown together would work the best for a surprise graduation party (Congrats, cuz!!) And what have we learned completes any outfit, according to me? Well a scarf, of course!! :)

And we cannot forget the addition of my newest, most favorite boots! I really need to stop wearing them so much though, so that they do not get too worn out too quickly. Super sad story that I need to talk myself into NOT wearing something that I love so much. Womp womp.

It's all in the details...

I am completely obsessed with this scarf - I got it years ago at a store based out of Finland (I think?). What I love about it is that it completely looks like a bandana, but is not. When you look closer, the print is actually made out of little flowers and leaves. I get compliments on it all of the time, and when I do, I wonder if they’re complimenting it because they noticed the flowers or if they just plain like the look of it. I feel like bandanas have a way of looking a little bit grungy or rebellious, so I absolutely love the contradiction with this piece. I think if I could wear it with everything I own, I would.  J

And did you notice the new boots? These little booties are my newest obsession. I LOVE them with a skinny jean rolled up to show off the boot. I figured I would throw in a little pattern play with a peek-a-boo sock. I am not quite sure what the recent fashion obsession has been with polka dots, but I can’t say that I am complaining.
