Having just come back from the West Coast (where everything felt relaxed), I find myself craving looks with a little more polish. This outfit is the perfect blend of casual (chambray + stripes) and sophisticated (sparkling necklace + pointy pumps)…the ideal solution for those days when I want to get dressed up without going over the top.
What I’m wearing:
Shades of Blue
Metallic Jacquard
Walk On
Daytime Sequins
hey you…we californians can do "polished" too. ha ha! i've been feeling the opposite…it has been so hot that i can not even think of dressing up in anything more than sundresses and flip flops!!! you look SO pretty…especially love the last pic!

Girl that skirt is so chic! I love a good stripe. They can make such a great statement w/out being over the top! 🙂

I love the chambray-with-pencil-skirt look. I wore my chambray with a shorter white pencil skirt, but untucked and with a neon belt over it. It was one of my favorite outfits of the summer!
And I know you're a busy lady, but I'd love for you to check out my style challenge for fellow bloggers. Sarah's Real Life – Outfit Challenge!
I really like your skirt with the chambray top together 🙂
hey denim twin! love how you styled yours. Is that the skirt featured last month or something online? lucky by chance? looks so familiar! You rocked it and love those nerd chic glasses. 🙂
You look amazing! That skirt is great – love it with the chambray top! Love the glasses, too!
Love the glasses, they look great on you.
Amazing outfit, as always!

Loving your look!! That shirt is exactly what I've been looking for!
I saw this look on pose and really liked it so I'm pleased to see this full feature here. I find that I sometimes crave relaxed / chic after spending too much time in one 'mode' too. My summers in Ibiza you'll find me in shorts and tee and then as soon as I get home I'm back in my sharpest dresses!

Excellent skirt ! The mix with the denim shirt is really wonderful and classy !
LOVE your look, LOVE this outfit – the glasses are super ADORBS! I am a new fan!
Let's follow each other!

I recently returned from Seattle, and I feel the exact same way! I'm craving a dress up occassion. I really like how polished this look is.
I LOVE these photos!!! Stunning. The outfit is the perfect mix of comfort & chic. This is a great skirt-kicking myself for not snagging it when it was onsale.

Love this look so much I'm considering buying this skirt. Can you tell me if it runs big/small? All they have is an 8 and I'm usually8/10 so i don't know if I should just take the chance. I love it though! Hate that ASOS has no customer reviews! I'd really appreciate it!

Hi Jill, I would say the skirt runs true to size or maybe a little small, so you should be fine to order the 8 (and if it doesn't work out, returns are free!)…hope that helps! 🙂
thanks, I ordered it in an 8! I love their free return policy! I have a ups store a block from my apt and i swear they must think all i do is order and return ASOS items..her again! ha. You have great style and I one your blog.

If I had that skirt, there is a chance I would wear it 3+ times a week!

Gorgeous! I'm from CA and I've been wearing a chambray shirt on my blog three ways this week too 😉
Do you ever misstep with an ensemble? Such perfection… again.
FLAWLESS.
