Denim Dressed Up

Hey everyone!  The other day I posted about all my favorite wardrobe essentials, so today I wanted to do a post featuring some of the pieces I shared.  I took these pictures back in the fall, but I really love how this outfit can really be worn year-round.  It’s a perfect work or church outfit and it’s made from 4 of my essential wardrobe pieces.  Here is why I love these clothing items. 

Chambray Shirt- I love denim and I think that having a chambray shirt in my closet is a must.  I love that I can layer it under a cardigan or over a tank top.  It’s perfect on its own as well.  I can wear it with white pants, black pants or even jeans.  I like wearing it with a skirt because it gives the appearance that you’re dressed up, but having denim on keeps it a little more casual than a blouse. 

Black Pencil Skit- This is a must-have in my closet.  A black skirt will go with EVERYTHING!  It’s flattering and classic.  You can find a pencil skirt easily at an affordable price.  I’ve had great luck finding skirts like this at thrift stores.  I’ve also found cute skirts under $10 at stores like Forever 21 and H&M.

Nude Pumps- I love nude shoes!  I prefer them over black pumps.  I think that the nude color lengthens your legs and for a short girl like me, that’s always nice.  Nude is a very neutral color, so shoes like this will go with everything.  My nude shoes are from Target and they are my favorite pair of heels.  I can wear them comfortably for a long period of time, which is rare for a heel.

Statement Purse-  A statement purse could be anything from a beaded purse to a bright color.  I love my leopard clutch.  I love to accessorize in leopard print and this clutch gives a sublet pop of fun to any simple outfit.
