Happy Monday, friends, and welcome back to a new week! How was your holiday weekend? We spent a few days at the lake celebrating our son’s birthday, and unplugging a bit. I can’t believe I have a 19-year-old!!
I remember watching the fireworks from my hospital room, while holding my little swaddled nugget, like it was yesterday! That sweet boy with the fast smile made me a mom, and has brought more joy to my life than I knew possible. It’s so cliche, I know, but so true… the days are long (so very long!), but man those years absolutely fly!
Today I’ve got another fun Summer of Style for you, featuring a darling chambray skirt… that just so happens to be 50% off today! It’s such a great staple piece for Spring and Summer, and I’m styling it two ways to give you some ideas.
No-Iron Shirt | Chambray Skirt | Hat | ‘On Vacation’ Clutch | Similar Sandals
The skirt is so lightweight in the softest cotton, with a button-front and flattering a-line shape. The neutral shade makes it perfect for pairing with most any top, but especially fresh with light colors. I prefer to balance the volume of the skirt with a fitted top for that classic fit-and-flare shape.
Talbots offers a full range of regular and petite sizing, and I find them true-to-size. The skirts and dresses are always a modest length.
Fit Tip: I’m 5’4″ and wearing a 2-petite.
No-Iron Shirt | Chambray Skirt | Hat
The shirt is a crisp cotton poplin, and truly no-wrinkle!! Even on the hottest day, it needs no iron! It comes in a range of colors, and the white has no sheerness. It’s also a great length with a finished hem if you want to wear it untucked with pants or shorts.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a 2-petite shirt.

I shot the skirt with the buttons going down the front, but discovered later it’s actually cuter with them off-center!

The clutch is a fun stripe with beaded and embroidered detail… and yep, it’s 50% off, too!
For a second, more casual look, I paired the easy skirt with a fun graphic tee and flat sandals. It’s the perfect weight and style for hot days!

Aren’t these colors so fun? I love the raised embroidery, and the cotton is soft and lightweight. The neck is a little wider than a true crewneck, but still bra-friendly.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS
Graphic Tee | Chambray Skirt | Woven Clutch
This clutch is a great size for all your essentials, and even has a detachable chain strap for wearing hands-free. The neutral colors and stripes pair perfectly with all your summer styles, from shorts to dresses. And yep, 50% off plus free shipping today!

So tell me… are you more of a shorts or skirts girl in the summer? I wear both, but lean towards easy, lightweight skirts like these whenever possible.

Both looks are great!
Thank you so much! Great deals, too!
Luv your fireworks from the hospital room story-so special!
This skirt would look so good w/a black T and black sandals.
Thanks for the heads up on their sale today. Looks like I’ll be on the Talbots sight for a while.
: )
Sounds like a cute combo, too!! Chambray is so versatile!!
I wear both skirts and shorts, but my true summer weaknesses are 1. Rompers, 2. Maxi dresses! I feel like I’m wearing the least amount of clothing as possible in this TX heat with those 2 pieces, Lol! These clutches are amazing; I didn’t even realize Talbot’s had purses!
Yes…the least amount of fabric hugging my body the better! And yes, Talbots has the cutest accessories!!
Very cute! Even though I am a petite 70 yr. old with pretty good legs, I never go out wearing shorts out except on rare occasions. I never have. I sometimes wear a summer dress with my Chuck Taylors, girlfriend jeans or lightweight slim fitting knit pants, all from Talbots. My daughter always wears a dress with sandals. With two very young daughters she finds it easier to just slip into a dress and go. She’s a wise shopper and adds a few summer dresses to her wardrobe every year. She adds a bit of fun by usually wearing a head wrap or hair band.
Sounds so chic, Lyn!!! Such a stylish family! xo. C
Just finished Hart of Dixie! Loved it💕
