It’s really true what they say about what goes around, comes around!
Some of us may or may not be old enough to remember (hey, I’m not sayin’ one way or another) the blue chambray shirt craze of the 1990s . Funny though, back then I think they were called “denim shirts” or “work shirts,” but this go-round they are called “chambray shirts.” That’s a little more sophisticated, I suppose. For the uninitiated, chambray is pronounced SHAM-BREY, as in, you know that show, “The Bachelor?” That is almost certainly a big sham (bray). (Yes, I still watch it. Sad. I know. But, really! What is up with that Tierra girl?)
Anywho! Back to the ooh la la chambray shirts! They are trending! Right now! All over Pinterest! Have you noticed? Actually, I really love these shirts; they are casual and comfy when paired with colored or white jeans, but they can be dressy and adorable when paired with a chevron or polka dot skirt. So cute, guys! Here are just a few of the tons of different chambray shirt looks I found on Pinterest:
I’ve rounded up a pretty good selection of chambray shirts with varying cost points, so let’s go shopping, shall we? Click on the pics to get more details about each shirt:

I know! Cute, right?! You might even be able to find a work shirt chambray shirt or two in your parents’ closet! Have you checked recently? If you do wear a vintage 1990s chambray, just be sure it hasn’t been Be-dazzled. Some trends simply just need to die.
Are you on the chambray shirt bandwagon? Tell us in the comments!
Ha! I don’t have to look in my mother’s closet, I already have a couple chambray shirts in mine! (I sent the bedazzled ones to DI’s!)
Whoa, Beth! Does this mean that you actually did own bedazzled shirts at one point? Ha! Love it!
Haha! What does Beth own that isn’t bedazzled?
