Stripes, Chambray, and Brogues.

Want to shake up your standard weekend uniform of jeans and a t-shirt? (See also: jeans and a sweater.) I suggest throwing on a few extra layers and a pair of oxfords.

I started with a basic striped tee + skinny ankle-zip jeans. A chambray shirt worn as a jacket is my second layer, and a much-loved military vest is the third. Lastly, I slipped on a pair of brown brogues and a pendant statement necklace. Presto– I’m ready to tackle the weekend.

I’m going to spend my last Monday of 2013 prepping the house to receive guests on NYE, hitting the gym (I’ve been on holiday long enough, ha!), and getting ready for my birthday tomorrow. Wishing you a 2014 full of health and happiness. See you all in the new year!

  1. You have such a good eye for layering pieces together- this is an awesome outfit! I love it! Happy New Year and Happy Birthday!

  2. I love the light layers that combine for an overall cozy look- this works for both fall, winter, and early spring! Love!

  3. You look gorgeous, Ashley! Have a great time celebrating NYE and your birthday- so cool that they fall on the same day! 😀

  4. I love this outfit! It seems like it would be pretty easy to recreate. Do you think I could work in a jean jacket somehow?

    1. Definitely, doll! Rather than chambray, wear a denim jacket. Military vest over, striped top under. 🙂 Just make sure the denim jacket is on the fitted side so everything lays nicely.

  5. I have a chambray shirt but have never thought to wear it open as a jacket- great idea! I will definitely be trying this.

    Happy New Year!

  6. I really like this outfit- the layers are lighter so you don’t look bulky or top heavy. Really well done, Ashley! Happy birthday and happy 2014!

  7. You are so adorable! And I agree – I love how easily layers can oomph up an otherwise simple outfit, with little effort. You look great, and I’m loving oxfords so much lately! Thanks for sharing this with the linkup, and happy early birthday!!!

  8. Ohh love all of your layers!! And those oxford are adorable. You look fantastic. I hope you have a wonderful birthday tomorrow friend!!
