I love dresses but I just don’t have a whole lot of them. They are not as versatile as tops and bottoms, so I rarely shop for them. I think chambray dresses are the exception, since the material is denim-like you can easily mix and match them with a lot of different colors and patterns I had a $20 Loft reward that was about to expire, so I decided to shop the sales while they had an extra 50% off. I ended up getting that dress for $15.

I’ve recently started to shop in the petite section, because the length works so much better for . That chambray dress is still available in regular and tall, it’s on sale with an additional 50% off. It is sleeveless so I can use it for work or for casual outings.

This time I kept it simple with a stripe sweater and my favorite flats that I should have totally gotten in navy while they were available. This pair by Jeffrey Campbell is very pretty. I am also wearing my new quilted purse on the blog, isn’t it pretty. I have to say Big Buddha’s bag are well made and the price point is awesome as well. I linked to a few gorgeous and unique chambray dresses below, I kinda want them all.

    Yo can’t beat a good chambray dress. The cardigan is a great layer, and I love those flats!

    I have issues with length sometimes too! Do you mind me asking how tall you are? I love this dress and am wondering if I should order petite too? I am 5’4″ – so always on the cups(: You look lovely today! Susan

    I love how you mixed the different shades of tan with your chambray; great way to incorporate color that complements.

    Oh man, I looovveee dresses. I wear them all the time. I totally get what you are saying about them not being as versatile, but I just think they are so easy. Plus, I wear them in the winter with tights a lot. I love this one on you! You know I am obsessed with those shoes.

    You will get so much wear out of this dress – it is so cute!! I love dresses for the summer – they definitely aren’t as versatile as pants/tops but they are sooo much more comfortable 🙂

    I used to not buy a lot of dresses either because I though they weren’t versatile enough too. But this summer, I’ve really started to love dresses 🙂 Chambray dresses are probably the best ever! And I love your flats!

    Ooh, I’m liking that striped cardigan with this dress! And of course, those lace up flats are fantastic. Also love the more boho chambray dress option you showed at the end. Maybe someday I’ll be a dress person and own something like that. 🙂

    anything dresses lack in versatility, I make up in volume, lol. Love how you dressed up the chambray with a cute cardigan.
