Chambray Dress

May 9, 2016

I’ve been doing a lot of summer shopping lately, mostly because the weather in Boston has been less than perfect (I’m talking 45 and rainy every. single. day.) and I just cannot wait for those gorgeous sunny summer days. I started looking at summer clothes for our trip to Florida and now I can’t stop.

For summertime I always look for easy pieces that can be dressed up or down. (I seriously wore this dress at least once a week last summer!) When I saw this chambray dress, I knew it was going to be that piece – the thing I reach for constantly because it’s comfortable, it looks good, and it’s easy to wear – whether it’s with a pair of heels or sneakers, from brunch to a Sox game.

Since then I’ve had to replace that shirt twice because I keep buying fast fashion brands. But like with bags and sunglasses and an LBD, if you know you’re going to wear it a lot, why not invest in a nicer piece?

This dress is made by Brass, a Boston-based company started by two ladies who were looking for an alternative to designer goods and fast fashion. Their brand is made up of versatile pieces every capsule wardrobe (or any wardrobe, for that matter) should have.

Chambray, button-down, and pockets? Perfect.

What piece do you know will be your go-to for this summer?

    The whole east coast has been suffering from bad weather lately. I feel your pain. I’m in NY. But it looks like better days ahead (or at least a better day today and tomorrow). Thanks for the clothing site tip! I just headed over to Brass to see what they offered. They don’t have anything I need right now, but I can see myself getting some of their stuff in the future.
