MOMMA LOVES… chambray for effortless cool

A great chambray piece is perfect for transitioning between season – the look of denim but lightweight enough for the warmest months!

I love my Bella Dahl chambray top – pairs easily with any look – including denim!

and how cute is my little Max in his chambray pants which gives him the look of wearing jeans but they’re so easy going on and off in the hot hot summer!

Chambray is that great lightweight fabric that resembles denim but its softer and perhaps more versatile….  Where as denim is reserved for jeans, jackets and skirts chambray give that effortless relaxed look to shirts, dresses and even joggers…  We are at that weird point in the season where its crazy hot out, but fall clothes are hitting the shops so its time to talk about transitional pieces… Chambray items transition easily from summer to fall making this the perfect time for it.  Whether you’re looking for a little dress, jumpsuit or a great shirt to pair with jeans (yes – you can wear denim on denim particularly when it’s chambray) these pieces fit all your style needs.  Its great for our little ones too because its so light, comfortable and looks so adorable on them!  Check out some of my favorite chambray pieces to smoothly transition you from season to season seamlessly and effortlessly.
