Pinterest Style: Chambray Shirt

When it comes to my clothes, I tend to get into a rut and wear things the same exact way over and over again. With my chambray shirt, it's usually with leggings and a t-shirt or belted over a dress. So I thought a good way of helping me to think a little more creatively about it would be to scour Pinterest to see how other people have worn theirs to see if I could try and recreate it with my own wardrobe.

This is my least favorite look of the pictures that I took, but I figured I may as well include it anyways. As much as I wanted to love this skirt, I just don't love it. It's a little too long and not very flattering (the downfall of online shopping). Every once in awhile I decide to give it another try, and this was one of those times.

I liked this look a lot better than I thought I would. I had tried it with this skirt before (after seeing something else on Pinterest, ironically enough), but I wasn't really feeling it. Either way, this time it worked out better, so that's good to know!

I wasn't really feeling this one, because it just felt completely wrong with the skirt. The skirt is pretty dressy, though it doesn't translate well in the picture. Maybe if the shape of the skirt was different?

So, I bought this skirt for $3 at Goodwill about two years ago and have yet to really wear it. But I think I actually like it with this skirt, which I wasn't expecting. And the point of this was to see my closet in new ways, so I'd say this was a success.

This was my favorite one. I didn't think the skirt would work with something this casual, but I really liked the way it dressed it down. I'll definitely have to keep this one in mind! 

I think it's definitely interesting to think of new ways to wear things, especially because I do tend to repeat outfits so much. It was fun looking at pictures and thinking about how I could recreate the outfits with my own clothes. Not to mention it's always fun to play dress up.

I'm still having difficulties figuring out how to take good photos inside. Sorry my pictures are a little out of focus.

Also, I just went through 19 pages of a blog to find the proper source for the first picture, since I don't like linking back to Pinterest/Tumblr/WeHeartIt if I can help it. Would have been helpful if I realized the caption on the picture was the name of the post. Lesson learned, search for the caption first.
