Chambray All Day
If you don't know I am a denim addict. A good pair of jeans puts me in the right mood. To me denim can be sexy, fun, casual, or serious. Over the past several years the amount of denim options has skyrocketed. No longer are we limited to just bootcut or skinny jeans, there's ton's with embellishments, fun detailing, and ruffles. What I am loving this season is all the Chambray options available in plus. When the temps rise, having the right denim is important. Having lighter washes and weights of denim allow for you to still wear denim, but not having to be uncomfortably hot.
Rocking an all denim look is something that I always wanted to try, but I wanted it to look cool and not just denim overload. I figured wearing all lighter denim would be a great way to wear as much as I like without looking over the top. When I saw this awesome jacket from Eloquii, it was bought asap. A good denim jacket is always something you should have in rotation, but I love the flare sleeve detail. Sleeve details have been HUGE this season, so the fact that I as a plus size woman can partake in the trend and look amazing is an incentive to buy. Eloquii has been cranking out hit after hit, and this jacket is a great way to try out the trend. It's made from good stretch denim, so I was able to get this jacket in a size 18 and still have room for layering. If you are looking for a new jacket, the flare tie sleeve jacket is great for Spring.
These jeans were a pair of crops from Eloquii that I bought a year ago. They still look and feel great. Since the pants sit up higher on the waist, I thought it would be great to wear a crop top to add a bit of a playful vibe. I originally was going to wear a chambray top, but the boxiness of the top with the jacket just made me look bulky, and I for one do not want that. The pants are no longer available, but here is an option available now.
What I love about this look is that I was able to tie in all chambray accessories and didn't have to break the bank to do so. My sunnies are the denim Ray-Ban Wayfarers that I have had for about a year now. The classic Wayfarer will never go out of style, add some denim, and you have a piece that will be classic for years to come. Anytime I wear these bad boys, I receive compliments.
Finding this bag happen out of pure coincidence. I was on the Sam Edelman website checking out shoes, and something said hmm, I wonder if there are any bags that I may like. Even though I am all about carrying my entire life in one big bag, going smaller is great on the shoulders. Less stuff, less stress. I was looking at their bags from their Circus collection, and I spotted the Marion chambray shoulder bag. On the Sam Edelman site it was on sale for $83 but I did a google search and lo and behold found it on a promotional sale for less than $30!!! Mind you, this bag is originally $118, so I am definitely patting myself on the back for finding it cheaper. It has two compartments which held my wallet, keys, phone, and sunnies. Can't ask for anything more in a super cute handbag!
Last but not least, are my shoes. I was on Macy's website looking for some new sandals since it was their great shoe sale. Anytime I can get three pairs of shoes for 40% off plus free shipping, I am gong to check out what they have to offer. The Shasta frayed denim sandal is from the It Girl herself Zendaya line Day by Zendaya. These three inch block heels are easy to walk in and have a good amount of cushion so I was comfortable. The ankle strap fit just right and the shoes did not rub at all. This was my first purchase from her collection, and this will not be the last.
So lovers, did I pull off my Chambray All Day look? Let me know what you think in the comments! Muah!
