Yes Please: Chambray

It reminds me of quilts, USA, and summer cottages.

Add this to your fashion vocabulary, chambray!
1. a lightweight plain weave cotton cloth used as fabric for lace and needlework.
2. a commune of the Eure département in France, located 13 km north east of Évreux on the north bank of the Eure River.

I still do not know if I pronounce this word right but since the days of sitting in front of Fashion Television I fell in love with the fabric. It is always worn loose and always looks good in warmer months. I had a vintage chambray sun dress that fell apart after a year of wear. I miss it a lot. I searched and searched for what would be key pieces.




Life is beautiful, let's share a little.
