Time flies by when you are having fun. We are on week three of the Build Your Wardrobe Basics Challenge. I can’t believe it’s almost coming to an end. I have enjoyed seeing the participants show their daily style on the Facebook group page.
I’m featuring one of my favorite winter styles from the Build Your Wardrobe Basics Challenge. Last week, we styled a chambray top, skinny jeans, leopard belt and riding boots. Here’s the inspiration outfit.

My style goal this summer was to break out of the daily summer rut of my typical tank top, shorts and flip flops. It may not sound that hard but it has been. Mainly because it’s HOT in Texas so that severely limits my options, especially when it comes to layering.
So when I paired up this outfit wearing my favorite chambray, a bubblegum pink tank and my embroidered whale shorts, I was pretty excited. The layers are light enough to work even on a hot day and let’s talk about these shorts for a second. I may have squealed with delight (and embarrassed my daughter) when I found them at Marshall’s. They are just so darn cute! Every time I wear them, I get compliments from strangers. (You can find some similar pairs here and here.)

Hey pretties! I’m starting a new monthly series today called Easy Outfit Formulas. I’ll bet you can guess what it’s about. That’s right! My favorite tried and true outfit formulas that make it easy to get dressed everyday.
Today I’m featuring one of my favorite spring to summer transition looks. If it’s cooler where you live, you can wear long jeans instead of cropped with a long-sleeved chambray. When the weather heats up, you can swap out the jeans for white shorts and pair them with sandals instead of flats.
EASY OUTFIT FORMULA
White Denim + Striped Tee + Chambray
Add Ons: A fedora, your favorite bag and a pair of bright shoes for a pop of color.

My feet stayed happy all day in these super comfortable bow ballet flats from Ecco. They are very lightweight and have long-term cushioning for all day wear. The leather is soft, lightweight and breathable. These would be great to wear for shopping, a field trip or a day at the zoo.
It’s Your Turn: How would you make this easy outfit formula your own? Tell me in the comments!

Even though it’s been a lot of fun looking forward to fall fashion, I’m just not quite ready to let go of my favorite summer outfits yet. This chambray/maxi dress combo is one of them. I’ve worn it to church, sightseeing in New Orleans, to doctor’s appointments, even to run errands. It’s been my all-purpose summer look. I’ll be retiring it soon but here’s one last tribute to one of my summer favorites.
I’ve worn several variations of this outfit – with and without the fedora, with a head scarf, with statement jewelry – but this one with this gorgeous yellow and blue scarf from my friend Avril at School Gate Style is one of my favorites. Stop by and check out her beautiful scarves and accessories, like these.
