layering for fall

With summer officially coming to a close in less than 2 weeks, I'm already putting together outfits for fall. I won't lie to you. I really enjoy playing dress up and I especially like the challange of coming up with stylish ways to use the same pieces of clothing for four different seasons.

Fall is all about layering and texture. Have a look at the first of many ensembles I have already thought of.

What do you think? Yay or nay?

One of my must-have pieces of clothing is a chambray shirt. Aside from the fact that I don't need to iron it, it has proven to be versatile enough to be worn every season from summer to winter. A good closet investment, wouldn't you say?

Here are some of the many ways I've worn my chambray shirt this summer.

Would love to see how you've worn yours!
