A few months ago I started a series about my closet essentials — the pieces in my closet that I just can’t live without. Today let’s talk about chambray button ups. These are without a doubt one of the most versatile pieces in my closet. I remember a few years ago when people started wearing them, and I was super unsure of them, probably because my dad had a chambray button up and I often teased him about wearing it with his blue jeans (a look I wear regularly now. Sorry, Dad!).
I have a medium blue and a light blue one, and although my light blue one probably gets a little more use right now, they are definitely both staples.

h&m denim, similar on sale!
HOW TO WEAR THEM:
The possibilities are literally endless. Try them tucked into a skirt, half tucked with jeans, unbuttoned with a tank or dress underneath for a laid back look; wear them with white, blue, or colored denim, wear them underneath a sleeveless dress, or tied in the front (like I did yesterday to church); wear them open and belted (or closed and belted), then wear the sleeves cuffed or half cuffed. The list could go on. Have I convinced you the possibilities are endless yet?
WHERE TO BUY THEM:
Chambray button ups can be purchased almost anywhere, but I found a few of my current favorite ones. Click the images below to shop for them!

You don't have to convince me that chambray is awesome… it's one of my staples too! I'm glad you linked to this particular one because I've been looking for a new one (and Old Navy has 30% off online today! Score!) Also, that necklace is fab. I feel like I haven't commented lately but you look gorgeous, as always!
Love this! That chambray top pairs perfectly with the white denim!

Completely agree that chambray is a must! Especially love it with skirts, something about the mix of masculine and feminine.
