Dressing up Chambray

Today I wanted to show you how I love to dress up a chambray top! **FYI this should be a wardrobe staple in your closets.** Now, this usually casual fabric looks great paired back to a tweed, and tweed is a great fabrication for spring. You can see below that I choose to wear a bright coral skirt (I love color), I really liked the contrast of my light washed chambray with the bright tweed skirt, also there is a great mix of texture when pairing these two fabrications together.
This outfit actually started with the necklace, which my mom found in an unusual place.....HEB here in San Antonio! (If you don't know, HEB is a grocery retail chain here in south/central TX) It is actually a shop located inside HEB Plus called Mia's Mirror, this is evidently a new concept that HEB is trying, so I believe that this is a tester location. (Evans & 281) It goes to show you never know where you are going to find fabulous items!  (The ring is also from there)

And finally to finish out the look and add that edginess that I love, I choose to rock a great pair of neon leopard print heels that have black base to match my nail color! I love these shoes for many reasons and also because they were a birthday gift from my best friend a few years ago. Gifting shoes is a hard thing to do, so I think it speaks volumes when you have a friend that can really know your style!
 
I hope this not only inspires you to try and dress up your chambray top but also to always be on the look out for great pieces that you can incorporate to your wardrobe, because you never know where you will find that one of a kind item!
