Ten Ways to Wear Chambray

Originally, I wanted to do a post called "Thirty Ways to Wear Chambray" but I realized nobody would want to look at thirty different pictures.  I do have that on GCOGH though, if you are interested!

I pulled together my ten favorite combinations using a chambray shirt.  I have owned this shirt for at least six months and have only worn it a handful of times, which is silly because that shirt could go with anything in my closet!  To prove it to myself, I started pulling out items I thought I could wear with it.  

This was the complete mess that was my bed as I was sorting through all the clothes I wanted to use:


And here is the (at this point very wrinkly) chambray shirt I chose:
From the Gap
I am sorry for the poor quality of the pictures.  The shirt got wrinkly very quickly as I was trying on various outfits and I didn't have the time to iron it after each outfit.  You'll have to imagine what a neat, clean shirt would have looked like.

There you have it.  Chambray shirts are versatile and can be dressed up or down.  And I love that the chambray can go with pretty much any color combination.  Being a teacher, I want to be comfortable, but look cute and at least semi-professional.  Thus, I have a few different chambray shirts I have bought to throw with various outfits.  Hope this helped to see how you can make your chambray shirt worth the price you paid for it!
