jacket: c/o choies (here)
romper: urban outfitters (old)
boots: asos (here)
chambray: h&m
Every once in a while, you just need to wear all black, you know? Well, in this case, almost all black. I felt like mixing it up a bit, so I tied a chambray around my waist. Because my motto seems to be, “just add a chambray!” And you know what, I like the end result. A good leather jacket is a must this year, and this one I got from Choies is seriously the best. It’s soft and fits so well and is actually warm! Which is a huge bonus because it has been freeezing lately.
What do you think about all black?
How many chambrays do you own? Let’s get real for a sec. I have four. Intervention soon?

Perfect! Totally agree about a leather jacket being a must (still in search of the perfect one).
Katie

Okay, I don’t have any Chambrays!! Maybe I’ll finally get one at the after christmas sale, I’m making a list so I’m prepared :) Ugh, I have been in search for the perfect leather jacket (a black one). My last one became too big because I started lifting weights. And this one looks perfect!! I sometimes go all black, mainly when going to pilates. Black leggings, black sweatshirt, but I’ll wear a mint green shirt under to add some color :)
Katie
WHATTTT Chelsea, you need to get on that. The chambray is a very important piece in anyone’s wardrobe! ;) Good call on after-Christmas sales, though. I’m sure you’ll find lots of great stuff! And danggg girl, you’re too swol for your leather jacket- now THAT is impressive!!

Hi Katie,
5 more days before we leave Thailand. I am trying to post now every single day like you.
What is a chambray?
I first thought it is a color, then I thought it means lace. Does it mean a shirt? Should I start counting my shirts? My jeans shirts? HAHA What do I need to do???
I like black. I like to wear all black as well though I might end up adding a touch of color like you did. A belt for example. No belts for you young lady.
Did I see correctly the name of your baby in your last post?! Noel? ;)
xoxo,Eszter

Awww how exciting for you!!! Where are you headed after Thailand?? A chambray is a jean shirt! :) And nope, no baby name yet! Noel is French for Christmas :) Since I speak French, I lean towards all things Francophone!

Great outfit!! I have one chambray shirt, and I’ve been washing it a lot to try and get it a lighter color (it started out a darker blue). I wish I could wear my leather jacket more, but our fall season is so brief, and then it’s too cold. Oh well :)

Aww you could always layer a lot underneath your leather jacket!! Thermal top, hooded sweatshirt, leather jacket, scarf- love that look!

if babies in utero had closets, i bet anything yours would be rocking some converse today with that outfit…but i imagine it would get pretty tight in there if babies did have closets!
note to self….must try the waist tie more often….because it’s tre chic!
Katie
Hahaha omg Ashley, you just made me laugh so much! Um, duh, my baby’s closet is going to be amaaaazing. And there will most def be Converse! ;)
