Loving Right Now: Chambray

This really shouldn't be a "Loving Right Now" post. It should be a "Loving for All Time" post.

I love chambray. It's soft, comfortable, and matches just about everything in my closet. It manages to be both chic and casual at the same time. I've been doing a major closet purge over the past few weeks, and taking a ton of stuff to the consignment shop, and I'm realizing my entire wardrobe could be paired down to a few chambray shirts and colored pants and I'd be super happy! 

Stay tuned for a DIY chambray lace shirt post over the next few days, but for today, here's some chambray inspiration to get you started!

BTW, I tried to do the proper Embed-pin thing but I couldn't get it to work in HTML or otherwise, so if someone knows the trick to doing this properly, please let me know! I would be much obliged. I pasted the embed code like it said but just kept getting an error message. Oh, well, old school post and link it is! 

In case you had any doubts on the versatility of this humble fabric...

And with a shocking pop of neon!

There will be a post dedicated just to the glories of neon in the future. For now, what's your favorite way to wear chambray, or do you tend to stay away?
