Orange and Denim

Happy Wednesday everyone! I am back again in chambray, I know, I am such a repeat offender. But in my defense, these outfits were a couple of days apart, and I know you guys are guilty of the same offense. I figure, if I love it, I might as well rock it. Also, please excuse the huge burn mark on my arm, I had a run in with the curling iron, ouch.

{Weekend Snapshots: Friends Edition}

This past weekend, my best friend from high school was in town from the East Coast. It was so good to get together with all of my friends and reunite with our bestie. It was some much over due girl time. Here are some snapshots from the weekend with the girls, and some other instagram shots. For more daily photos follow me on instagram @ currentlycraving.

Boyfriend Shorts + Summer

Boyfriend shorts and some casual wedges make for a perfect casual day outfit in my mind. I has been beautiful here, but not exactly hot, so this light jacket was perfect for the morning. I have been obsessed with there shorts, they might be the most comfortable thing I own (other than sweats). Sometimes a girl just needs to go for more comfort, and this outfit mixes comfort with style perfectly, I think.

Floral + Denim

Lets just stop for a moment and talk about how deep my heels are sinking into the dirt in the picture above, so glamorous. It was hard to stand up, and there were people around, talk about embarrassing. Anyways, this shirt is probably one of my favorite blouses I own. I got it on a whim, while on an emergency shopping trip a few months ago. To be honest, this is that piece of clothing that I am currently obsessed with from my closet. I just seem to keep going back to it. Seriously, I over-wear this blouse, it's out of control, but I love the colors and the fit so much.

6 ways to Wear Chambray

Chambray is nothing new, in fact, it has been around for quite some time. But recently I have been even more obsessed with my chambray shirt. The possibilities for this sucker are endless. It is what the denim jacket was the the 90's, easy, practical, fashionable, and versatile. Here are my six favorite ways to rock a chambray like a pro. Rihanna has is going on, the denim on denim look is already cute, but the fact that her denim jeans are all kinds of fun makes the look more bold. Craving those pants badly. Alessandra is obviously a goddess and probably could make a paper bag look chic and cool, I love that her chambray is more of an over sized dress feel, belted to give her some shape. As for Ashley, I mean, she can do no wrong, but her simple and elegant look of chambray with black skinny denim makes me wonder why I can't seem to pull off something so simple quite that well. Okay, Brooklyn, I get it, you are stunning, and you have good taste. Is there anything better than chambray and sequins? No, it's like champagne and berries, a perfect mix of textures. Rachel has such a casual, laid back look with the tied chambray shirt and a simple skirt, somehow she adds such a cool factor to this simplicity as well. And last, but not least, is Kristen Bell, in chambray and floral denim, which I am in love with as well. Perfect for a daytime.

Jumpsuit Madness

 I am not going to lie, I have never even owned a romper, so this jumpsuit is a bit of a stretch for me. But hey, no risk, no reward....right? I actually bought this lovely frock of black fabric over a year ago, then it sat in my closet unloved and ignored. It even fell to the back, so I really never even remembered it. Then just last week I rediscovered it, and fell in love, thank goodness, because its amazing. So even though it is old, it is one of my favorite items I own now. Hooray for rediscovery! 

{Currently Craving: Colorful Pants}

Colorful pants have been around for a little while now, and I am officially jumping on the bandwagon. After seeing some seriously amazing outfits I have decided that it is time to invest in a pair (or five...there are just too many colors to pick one). Here are some pictures of my inspiration for colors, styles and ways to wear them. I am craving these more than I crave coffee in the morning, and thats saying a lot considering I am from Seattle, the city of coffee lovers. I think I want a pair or pink and/or peach, and maybe some violet?

{Currently Craving: Spring Collection}

The past couple of days have been the most beautiful spring days here in Seattle. Even though we still have a couple more months a rain and gloom before spring really sets in, these sunny days remind me how much I love spring clothes (they also remind me why I live in this rainy city). Winter layering is fun and all, but I am kind of over it. Thinking about spring shopping makes me crave so many unattainable items it is actually quite depressing. Forunately, there is the internet, so I can day dream about my cravings.

I'll be the first to admit I am a chambray whore. Not that I am ashamed, there are much worse things to be obsessed with in the world of fashion, really. I really do think it goes with everything. Especially in the spring/summer months when that little something extra either keeps your warm or adds that extra something to the outfit. This chambray creates the perfect contrast from the masculine leather shorts.

This outfit might just be my favorite of the bunch, but that may vary depending on my mood. I am so in love with these pants it is not even funny. Not to mention the belt options. Yes, plural. I literally could not decide which belt I would like better with this, so I chose both. Simply to show that each looks fabulous. I love the neon because it is so bright, bold and different from the pants. But I love anything leopard as well. Tucking in this cream blouse only in the front, to show off the belt would be my move. As for those ankle booties from zara...holy cow. I. Want. Now. 

The whole uneven hem thing has really grown on me. I think it really depends on how you pair the dress and/or skirt, and what material it is. Again, leopard print, so obviously I love it. Add some arm flare and we are in business.

Give me some rolled up boyfriend jeans and that sweater and I will seriously be one happy camper. Not to mention  that collar of perfection. I love that the collar goes so perfectly with the colors of the sweater, but adds so much. Anyone else obsessed with this J Crew bag? They have it in blue as well, and I can't decide which one to plurge on.  Happy spring shopping, ladies!
