I love a lot of things in my closet, but one thing I love the most, is this chambray top. I bought this top from J. Crew Factory…three years ago? I think it’s been that long. Let me tell you, it’s still the bomb. J. Crew Factory still sells a similar version, because chambray is classic, and goes with everything. If you don’t own a chambray top yet, what are you waiting for?!
Chambray and Denim Outfit
I wear my chambray top with everything; skirts, pants of every color, and even sometimes as a topper over a t-shirt with a pair of leggings when I’m running around with my boys. This particular day, I grabbed my trusty chambray and this pair of jeans, that are also becoming something I love, oh so much. If you couldn’t already tell by how much I wear them on the blog. They’re new to me so I can’t speak on how well they hold up, over say a few years, but I can tell you so far, so good!
To finish off the look I wore a pair of neutral flats and my long halogen cardigan. Wash after wash, this cardigan holds up, which is an amazing feat for a sweater, in my opinion. My particular sweater has sold out in most sizes, however, Nordstrom has put out a heavier, wool blend version for winter that I can’t wait to try.
Sam Edelman Rae Flats at Zappos
I’ve been on a major hunt for fall shoes. I can’t tell you how many pairs I have bought and returned just to find the perfect pair. I’ve tried flats and booties mostly, and have only come to love the pair of flats I’m wearing in this post. I always go back to flats, they’re my absolute favorite to wear. This particular pair is Sam Edelman and are the perfect neutral shade against my skin tone. I ordered mine from Zappos on a Thursday afternoon and by Friday they were on my front porch! They run relatively true to size, but do take some time to break in. I got a couple of blisters from my first wear which left me rocking some bandaids on my heels for the next couple of days. It was cute. Totally worth it though. Since suede can be a little tricky to keep, I spray all of my suede shoes down with a suede protector prior to wearing. I mostly use Kiwi Suede Protector, but just ordered a bottle of Scotchgard Suede and Nubuck Protector to replace it. I love Kiwi, and will have to let you know how the Scotchgard holds up. I know Scotchgard did wonders for my white kitchen chairs, hopefully it will have the same effect on my suede shoes!

This was my “mom” uniform when the boys were younger. Comfortable yet pulled together and chambray is always a good idea! You look super CUTE!!
While I have the perfect chambray dress and skirt, I’m yet to find the perfect chambray shirt, it’s definitely something on my wishlist! 🙂
I like the double denim look on you here too.

Lovely casual outfit dear, big fan of chambray denim here. It’s really such a versatile style, and a classic too.

One of my most worn items is my chambray too! They are so versatile! I got a maternity version when I became pregnant and have worn it nonstop!
I so love this look. Fall style is so fun!

I do think that a chambray shirt is such the versatile piece. In fact, I have 4 of them….all in different washes. Eeeekkk—does that make me a hoarder?? LOL

I love my chambray top too! Yours looks perfect with your long cardigan and those flats. Flats can be such a hit or miss but those look great and I love how quickly you got them. Sierra ~ Beautifully Candid
I love a good chambray shirt, and this outfit is just so darling and classic. Plus, those neutral flats. Divine! Happy Wednesday!
Fabulous casual look! Those flats are so stylish and they really do compliment your skin tone wonderfully. I really need to wear my chambray shirts more often.
Thank you so much Jennie! When you find that perfect neutral, you have to have it!
Thank you so much Melissa!
Zappos blows me away, I’m like how do you even get the package together that fast?!
I know I love mine!
Nope it makes you smart!
I feel like it’s the one thing in my wardrobe that goes with everything! Thanks Roxanne!
Thank you Amy!
I love fall style! Thanks Cheryl!
I also had a maternity version when I was pregnant, must have a chambray!
Thank you Jessica!
Thank you Amy!
I didn’t wear mine enough this summer!
You definitely can’t! 😀
Thank you Marta!
Thank you Shelbee!
I hope you find one to love!
It’s the best mom uniform!
The best!!
I love the chambray look! I need to get one that I actually like. I feel like mine are too short on my, so they always seem to ride up…love those neutral flats. I hate having to break in shoes! I just did that with a pair of black flats.
You look so cute! I’ve been looking into getting a longer cardigan like this one, I’ll have to check it out! And I love your flats. I live in mine!
I hope the newest version is as good as this one! I was hoping it would justify its price and it does!
Breaking in shoes stinks! I’m still working on these flats, love is pain sometimes haha!
This is such a cute outfit! I love the look of a button up shirt under a cardigan, and adding denim to the flair was such a good idea. I could totally see myself wearing this.
Thank you for linking up this week!

Brooke, you are just the cutest. This is the perfect run around outfit. I have that same sweater and haven’t worn it that much yet, but I really do love it. I need to change that. Hope you’re having a great week. XO
I used to wear a chambray shirt very often 2 +3 years ago and I need to start wearing the new chambray shirt often, again. This look is so simple yet so classic and chic, your best Fall look yet. And I love your new flats. Flats are my favorite too and I found my perfect nude flats at Banana Republic.
Welcome by and join the linkup tomorrow, B!
I really wish I was more comfortable tucking in my shirts because I LOVE this look! May have to try it with the new rust cardi I picked up.
I love Sam Edelman shoes! Do these come in grey?
xo Jules
I don’t think so, I wish they did, that would be so cute!
Thank you Shelly! It would be beautiful with a rust cardi!
Thank you so much Ada! I saw beautiful flats at Banana Republic, I bet yours are great!
You better wear it! Lol.
Thank you Ruth! 🙂
Thank you Jacqui!
I totally agree!
Thank you Camila!
Thank you Sheree! Such a nice compliment. 🙂
Those shoes are darling! And now I officially need to up my game, and scoop up a chambray top <3

I’m with you on the chambray top! I have one that I got from Old Navy several years ago, and it’s still fabulous! Your outfit is super cute!
A good chambray button down is classic and timeless. I think I have had one for five years, and I love it just as much as the day I got it. This look is classic and and beautiful, love your cardi too!
