I can't even tell you how excited I am for this collaboration! You see, I stumbled upon Shawna's blog a couple of years ago, and she quickly became one of my blog crushes. I love her quirky personality that comes across in her photos, I love her writing style, and most importantly, I love her outfits. When she asked if I wanted to collaborate with her, I felt like a celebrity was reaching out to me! If you are new to her blog, I hope you'll pop on over and check it out here and that you'll find her to be as much of a style inspiration as I do!

The title of today's collab speaks for itself. I couldn't survive without a chambray (or 7) in my closet. It's a holy grail piece, and Shawna came up with the idea of styling it for day and then for play. Let's get started!

chambray for day

Sunnies: Ray Ban | Scarf: Nordstrom | Vest: JCrew Factory (option) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Chambray: JCrew Factory (option) | Leggings: Express (option) | Booties: Dolce Vita

I feel like this is the stereotypical blogger uniform - chambray, scarf, leggings, boots. I'm not going to fight it though. The formula works so for me, it's about finding pieces that make it special like this bag and these booties. This is definitely an easy-to-throw-on outfit, and I'm one thousand percent comfortable in it.

And can we talk about the fall colors for a second? Jenna and I went to the Laumeier Sculpture Park over the weekend to take some blog photos, and it turned out to be the perfect weather and the perfect setting. This outfit definitely mimics the colors of my surroundings beautifully.

Sunnies: Ray Ban | Necklace: Charming Charlie (c/o) | Bag: Nordstrom | Dress: Charming Charlie (c/o) | Heels: Louise et Cie (other colors here)

Any time I can find a dress that I can layer both over AND under is a true winner in my book.    This is definitely one of those dresses. An easy way to transition your sleeveless dresses into fall is by layering them over a chambray. Ditching the heels for tights and knee high boots pushes this outfit back into the "for day" category, too!
