Oh, hey! I'm Sherri, a 25-year-old from Winnipeg, Canada. Nice to meet you. I can't even tell you how happy I am to be here today! I was actually inspired by Elaine to start a personal style blog to represent modesty and to share my love for fashion. At SHERRIAMOUR you'll find my daily musings, style diary, and thrift finds.
My all time favorite shirt is the chambray (denim-like) button-up. I would seriously wear it everyday if I could. So I want to share with you different ways to wear it.
1. Try pairing it with a skirt for a dressier look.

2. Wear your chambray as a jacket or as a layering piece.

3. Try belting your chambray and pairing it with pants for more of a casual look.

4. Try tying it up in the front. Also, a great trick for a modest cover-up!

5. Wear it buttoned up all the way for a preppier look and add a statement necklace.

6. Try wearing it under a shirt or a knit sweater/cardigan. You can also wear it under a dress or sleeveless top as another modest tip!

7. And, finally, the classic denim-on-denim, which you've seen the lovely Elaine work.

P.S. A tip for my thrifty friends: Try shopping in the men's/boy's section at the thrift store (That's where I got mine.) or a local shop like Walmart for a less-expensive button-up.
Now go and chambray it up!
I didn't buy a Chambray shirt until last summer, in fact my husband bought it for me, and I don't know why I waited so long to incorporate it into my wardrobe. It's an invaluable staple, as your lovely post illustrates. It's a perfect neutral canvass to paint your outfit around.

I'm so sad that I haven't been able to find the right chambray shirt yet! Everytime I find one, it's already sold out in my size! Bummer. This inspires me to get one even more! Seems like it goes with everything and I really LOVE the denim on demin! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post & lovely outfits.

At first I was so confused, I thought that chambray was just a fancy word for denim, so out I went looking for cute denim tops... I did eventually figure out the difference between chambray and denim, but while shopping I found the denim to be a cheaper (albeit often more bedazzled) than the chambray. No fear though, I did find one that fit (and without any fancy embroidery) and I am confident that the denim will do just as nicely when put into such combinations that you've sported above! Thanks for the great article and ideas!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I think looks 4 and 7 are my favorites. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a versatile piece! I love it! I have one denim shirt that I never wear because I don't know what to wear it with but I LOVE all of your outfits! :] Also, I will definitely be checking out the men's section of thrift stores more often now. So smart!
