Monday Remix: Classic Chambray

Hello there! ;)

Mondays are for clothes remix from now on and so I´ve changed my post title to Monday Remix from Anything Goes Monday. Although you´ll still see outfit remixes on Wednesdays and Fridays( because I love mixing old and new), old pics on how I wore a specific item will be shown on  Mondays. Just so you´ll know, I´m a not a creative remixer but I love mixing colors and textures. ;)

My first foray into chambray( although I´ve worn this in the 90s with a thicker denim and I´m not sure if it´s called chambray then, lol!) was this thrifted top in 2011. There were a lot of chambray shirts hanging on the rack in the only thrift store in my barrio that time and so I got one for myself to try. Little did I know that this old top will be one of my favorite go-to tops when I like to dress in a flash or do the layering thing. Chambrays in my opinion are a classic just like black pumps, LBDs and pearls.

Today, I experimented with mixing different prints and textures but with subdued colors.

You´ve seen this metallic clutch  a million times in the blog, it´s another of my fave bag to reach out to and to add an extra oomph to an otherwise boring outfit.

sweatshirt-Zara, pants- Promod, clutch(very old)- Pimkie, necklace(old)- Blanco

As for the printed pants, I first wore this on a trip to the mountains and the sweatshirt was an autumn discovery last year. I wore it backwards the first time, glad that it looked right in the photo, hahaha!




Here are some ways that I´ve worn the chambray top, I´ve worn it a la preppy as my favorite layering piece, over a skirt and as an overshirt the frst time in 2011.

Enjoy your Monday, luvs!
