Outfit details:

J. Crew Scout Chino (from last year--this year's available here)
Kate Spade idiom bangles
Crewlet necklace
Chloe sunglasses

Channeling a bit of Elaine (of Clothed Much) today and borrowing her pairing of chambray shirts with a fun necklace. She has a knack for making an outfit of basic pieces into something more jazzy with a little bit of ingenuity--the girl's got scarf tying, creative belting, and remixing down to a science.

Even with this source for inspiration and sartorial esteem boost, it still didn't seem like enough. Wearing my old nemesis, the khaki pant, I couldn't help but immediately worry that I looked dowdy or matronly. So I grabbed a handful of the most glamorous accessories I could find--big cat eye sunnies, bright and shiny bangles. Paired with the heart on my chest, it was finally enough to feel myself.

  2. Your accessories really elevate this outfit. (After I typed that, I realized it sounds very Project Runway-ish! haha.) And I am crazy in love with that chambray shirt! How adorable is the little heart pocket!

  5. That shirt is adorable. Unexpected details are the best kind of details. Would it be silly if I rip the pocket off my chambray shirt, cut it into a heart and sew it back on?
