Fabulous Fashion Friday: Take me Away, Chambray!

Watching Julia Roberts peddling her bike past the Balinese rice fields in the movie Eat-Love-Pray, wearing a loose, sleeveless chambray dress, sandals and a sunhat evokes a longing for a carefree day of peace, comfort and fresh air.  Can one dress deliver all this?  No, but slip into one of Kick It's new Chambray dresses for Summer, close your eyes and imagine you are there.  We have two looks for you today staring Chambray (soft-washed light blue denim) paired with darling accessories for summer.

First Up: The Chambray Shift
Cavalini 100% cotton chambray sleeveless dress, $46
This dress is the PERFECT length~just above the knee~with a nice flouncy A-Line, too.  Best of all? It has pockets!!!
Classic "shirting" details at the yoke.
We styled this dress with ShayD Design Howlite Points necklace and earrings set ($74 )
Available at our sister shop, Ponytail Jewelry Studio.


In case a breeze picks up, add a breezy open-knit cardi like this cotton-crochet version by MAK, $38.

Next up: The Chambray Work Shirt
Cavalini chambray work shirt, $32
Lani stripe maxi dress, $36
Madeline cotton stripe knotted sling back sandal, $34.50
We are using these versatile work shirts like cardigans, to finish a look with color and cover.  Look how pretty this soft light blue goes with a neutral like taupe!
A BoHo-style stone & brass pendant gives this look a fresh, beachy edge.
ShayD Design Lapis-druzy necklace ($52 ) available at Ponytail Jewelry Studio.

Make this look weekend-ready with a huge tote (Tosca Studded Tote, $48)
We love the way the cream & taupe in the bag picks up the same in the dress.
Why not wear a stripe shoe too?  We love the chambray-blues in these cuties.
(Also available in Black, $34.50)
A delightful, dare-we-say enlightened outfit. Ahhhh, Summer.

****************
So whether you are out this weekend to Eat Love and/or Pray, consider adding a piece of chambray to your looks for an easy--yet somewhat trendy--expression of your style.
Happy Friday, Lovelies!
