brought to you in a parking lot.

 
i have a confession. i didn't always like chambray.
 
i feel like i follow with fashion like i connect with music. sometimes i'll hear a song and have it on repeat 500 times like i find a trend and jump on board with it face first not caring if it's the 'in' thing or not. but then, there are other times i'll hear a song & deem it as the worst song ever. pretty dramatic, i know. then i'll hear it a few more times, and familiarize myself with it, then it's the first thing i turn on in my car.
 
that's how my love of chambray developed. i didn't like the look of it & i would see people pairing it with jeans. two demin colors that clash? eeek i hate it.
 
  
but then, i realized how many different ways you can style chambray. i wore this outfit this past weekend when we were shopping for an outfit that night. and right outside of old navy in a parking lot, i decided to have lee snap some pics.
 
i'm officially the worst picture taker location decider ever?
 
dark wash chambray top: old navy | leggings: target | earrings: kendra scott | bag: tory burch | loafers: target
 
i'm not big on leggings as pants. a shirt has to cover my torso & most of my caboose for it to be considered public worthy. luckily this top does that. and these leggings are thick enough that they aren't see through. this is important if you're going the leggin-pants route.
 
and i'm just obsessed with leopard right now. i snagged these loafers from target! i can't wait for the weather to be even cooler so throwing on a infinity scarf is an option. the chambray feels like a t-shirt, leggings feel like sleep bottoms, and these shoes are like bedroom slippers. basically this outfit is glorified pajamas.
 
...that are acceptable when shopping. i love comfort.
 
this is also the debut of the beautiful tory burch bag my amazing fiance gave to me for my birthday. i'm obsessed with the camel color as it goes with everything. this will be on repeat for a while.
