good picks! love to hear the jacket is soft. Mine drives me crazy being so stiff. Never thought of buying a soft one. love those sandals!

I like the tucking on you, Meredith, and what a cool chambray shirt. It looks so good with your capris and sandals.

The chambray shirt looks good on you - could be a good candidate to knot at the waist.

Perfect wardrobe pieces -- they'll probably turn out to be workhorses for you :-)
Gotta love chambray worn with white denim - so fresh and still so classic!

Thanks ladies! I'm sure the shirt and jacket will always need ironing after washing but they are so soft and cuddly that I don't mind.

Is this the chambray blouse with the polka dots? I love your pose. Darling.

@Heather,
This is actually a paler chambray from AE (not the polka dot gap - which I also own but is still sort of stiff). Thanks !

LOVE #1. You are finding your style, Meredith. Well done! A 10!

You look elegant, rugged, and comfortable all in one go. I hear you about nice, soft, worn-in-feeling denim. The best! I almost can't believe you didn't have a white denim jacket before - your blue one is a workhorse. I'm sure this lovely white one will take you straight through summer and beyond.

@Angie,
Thanks Angie! I appreciate the thumbs up for the chambray. It was tough finding one that was already broken in.
@Rae,
I am still thinking it is a whole lot of white next to my face but I believe it will be practical with summer dresses and jeans. I'm probably more used to darks or brights close to my face.

#1 is just gorgeous Meredith! I love the new chambray blouse tucked in. And I agree with Rae on the white jacket, this one looks great and I'm sure you'll find it very versatile. Doesn't look like too much white near your face to me, but if it helps you can just think of this as another "bright" :D

Hooray for chambray! It's so versatile and i'm sure you will love it no matter what season we're in! Glad you found a super soft one!

#1 is perfection! Slightly edgy, casual, yet polished. Love!

We are jacket twins! I ordered 4 different white denim jackets to find a good cropped version and this one won. This is a wonderful look on you.

Looks great. I may check out AD for that shirt.

@Jayne,
Softness was one of my requirements. I simply cannot wear stiff and scratchy clothing.
@Vicki,
I'm glad the tucking looks alright. I am not accustomed to tucking!
@Kiwichik,
I'll try the knotting thing next.
@Mnsara,
I really like chambray with white also!
@Aida,
Thanks for reassuring me about the white not being too much! I'll try thinking of it as bright!
@nicoleb,
I never really considered how versatile it could be but since I can at least layer it in the winter I think I'll be able to wear it almost year round!
@Isis,
I am pleased you find it edgy since that is not usually one of the adjectives I get!
@Joy,
I am so glad you like yours also!
@Mellills,
I don't usually shop there but I lucked out finding both pieces.

Thanks Shannon! I really like the shirt a LOT. It feels like I am wearing jammies.

Excellent! I love the belt and the shoes too!

First, can I say, 'very cool shoes!'?
So exciting to find two things you've been searching for in one fell swoop, Meredith! And I ADORE the way you've styled them here --- I like that you've got casual classics (chambray and white denim) in 'worn' fabrications in a very up-to-the-minute, modern (crops, fab high-vamped wedges!) silhouette. This is one of your best, right along with the black dress!
And I bet you can make jacket work as a 'winter white' layer with all your fun scarves near your face too. (I personally find I tone down the brightness and play up the deeper, cosier colours when it's cool.)

You are amassing quite a jacket collection - I love seeing you use them all! Nice find on the shirt. This is why I look EVERYWHERE... you never know.

Fantastic! I haven't stopped in AE for ages as I've "aged" and "sized" out of their target demographic, but in the past every once in a while I've found true gems. I still have a super soft white boyfriend cardigan that is my go-to piece when I want to toss on a thin, cozy layer. That chambray shirt looks like a winner.
