Oh, chambray. My ole faithful. When I’m at a loss of what to wear, I always reach for it. Typically I pair it with a pencil skirt for the office, but this week’s chill required pants. To dress it up a bit a blazer and layers of pearls did the trick.
And I don’t know if I’ve gushed about J.Crew’s Minnie pant before, but they are another one of my wardrobe staples. Much thicker than leggings but with a perfectly slim cut and plenty of stretch, these pants work great in Summer with flats and perfectly in Winter tucked into boots. What are your wardrobe staples?
Pants: J.Crew, Top: J.Crew Factory, Blazer: Target (similar), Boots: Corso Como, Necklace: Stella & Dot

Oh I love the pearl necklace with the chambray shirt! 🙂
Jeans are definitely my wardrobe staple 🙂
Perfect cold weather work outfit! I have been wearing my boots nonstop lately.
This is so classy and adorable! You seriously are SO good at mixing staple pieces. I’m sure if you came into my closet, you could make 10x the outfits that I do haha
Those pants sound awesome! As for my staples I think you already know 😉 Sweaters, jeans…
This is a great duo–I love the blazer you’re wearing!
This is a great way to wear your chambray shirt to work! Pants have been a must for me too in the freezing cold.

I still don’t have a chambray shirt… I really need to do something about this! I rarely wear button-up shirts because they always pull across my chest but I’m going to make an exception this time. I NEED one!

Oh how I love thee Chambray….let me count the ways!
It literally goes with ANYthing! Loving your blazer!
I need to pull my chambray out of the dirty clothes and actually wash it. It’s my lazy day go-to and I need to wear it again!
Love this! I’m obsessed with my chambray top (I have the exact same one as you!) It’s a great go-to!

I swear you are the reason I even have my chambray shirts! 🙂 You style them so wonderfully.
I’ve been wanting a new pair of black pants, and I really like how yours look! The rest of your outfit is perfect as well – what a fun blazer!
Another perfect outfit! Everything works so well together! And I love that necklace!
Your blazer and chambray top are perfect together!! I love this outfit!

Very cute and LOVE the backdrop! How gorgeous!
Your background and general snowlessness are making me incredibly jealous. As is this outfit! I’m loving the blazer, and you’re making me want to try the Minnie pant! I’ve heard mixed reviews so I’m not totally sold, but they could be worth trying!

This is a perfect winter office look – definitely something I’ve done! chambray is always an ideal go-to – the jeans of tops!
I love pairing a chambray shirt with looser fitting black pants for work. I like to tuck it in but wear it unbuttoned a couple of buttons and don a big statement necklace (usually with pearls too!).
I also pair it with black skinny pants and leopard flats, especially during the summer.
I’m going to have to check out the pants you are talking about!

I love your tipped blazer Lauren! Those pearls beautifully compliment the outfit!

Love this! So many wardrobe staples for me too – ponte pants, chambray, fun necklace, blazer – that a girl can always count on when she’s not sure what to wear. And of course even better when you put them all together!
I love doing this with chambray too! This outfit is super cute!
I love those pants1 I’ve been looking for work pants suitable for tucking into boots.
Lauren- I loved you look so much that I pinned it and used it as an inspiration photo for a Style Swap link up! Check it out: http://the-style-files.com/blazer-chambray-necklace/
