And yep, I could totally see you in a chambray top with white jeans. As Angie would say: go ahead, be a devil;-)<br />Maneera - I also like the idea of a crossover chambray blouse, you don't see them all that often, so it's a unique look.<br />AviaMariah - *nodding*, a chambray top in a different silhouette can give us a lot more outfit options.<br />Anne -&nbsp; I can really picture you in the kimono.<br />Sharan - Thanks. I'd been eyeing the Karen Kane on in the long-sleeved version. It's fun, isn't it.<br />Scarlet - Oh, I love your striped blouse! And I hear you, on the European website Boden sizes always sell out extremely fast-(( I'm very drawn to the BCBGMaxAzria striped blouse with the bell sleeves, the Karen Kane blouse and also the dip dye blouse at Last Call (that surprised me, as I'm generally not really into dip dye detailing).<br />Debbie - Exactly, it's great to have plenty of options that will work in a warm climate too.<br />Sally - I like your picks:-)<br />Jeanne - A two-piece jumpsuit, how fantastic is that!! I sadly missed out on those chambray jogger pants last year, so I will vicariously enjoy them through you.<br />Joy - That top would look amazing on you. And agreed 100%, the faux wrap tops are really versatile pieces.<br />Vicki - Glad I could help;-)<br />Kate - Oooh, lots of good options here too, thanks. The Monki brand is a brand to watch. Asos has been showing seen several fun denim pieces by that brand lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1647265 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 18:28:31 +0000 rabbit 1647265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some great choices! &nbsp;I've been hunting too, especially for a dark wash boxy short sleeve to make a column of color with dark wash jeans. &nbsp;(An ideal choice for me is below, the monki, unfortunately it's sold out in my size). &nbsp;Here's some I came across in the search on Asos: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1647201 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 16:19:54 +0000 Vicki 1647201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I'm in blue Loveland with your photos, Inge, and a beautiful chambray shirt was the one item from Angie's denim with denim list that I don't have. Your photos and links may just change that! Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1647173 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 15:06:58 +0000 Anonymous 1647173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, you are a marvel! I see several of these tops that I would like to own, but the 'Velvet' crop top at Lord and Taylor (in the first grouping) is my first choice, a breezy woven tee. I also like the faux wrap tops that are great at hiding Apple tendencies and create a bit of waist. Thank you for this lovely roundup. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1647082 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 09:57:32 +0000 Jjsloane 1647082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun, I also love the Boden broderie top. I have chambray and light denim button downs, but sometimes don't feel like worrying about the button gape. I bought the Gap Tencel top last year and the "matching" pants for my own custom fit jumpsuit. Now I guess it qualifies as denim on denim too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1647080 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 09:44:25 +0000 Sally 1647080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love tunic tops and my favourite would be the last one followed closely by the middle one in the 2nd row.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1647060 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 04:51:38 +0000 Cassie Lyons 1647060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute!&nbsp; I don't currently have any but I love a lot of those looks.&nbsp; I might have to try and find some that I like around here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1647057 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 04:13:02 +0000 Debbie 1647057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge-Thank-you for sharing! I absolutely love that Boden top! These tops would work because they would' be as hot in the summer.<br /> I hope you share your favorites with us. I had to look at each and every top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1646966 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 00:30:13 +0000 Scarlet 1646966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So which one has captured your heart, Inge??? I love the Boden Broderie top. I am mad at Boden though. They always sell out of my size so fast! I have a top very similar to the striped one. It's the one in this scan. I bought it a couple years ago from Comptoir des Cotonniers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1646798 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 19:31:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1646798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, you are the best online shopper! I really like that Karen Kane asymmetrical wrap-front tank. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1646770 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 18:58:51 +0000 Colette 1646770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great selection! I've been looking at a few non button down chambray styles. I do really like the tank and peplum versions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1646758 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 18:35:42 +0000 Anonymous 1646758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the chambray kimono from Forever 21 (of all places!). I don't wear chambray or denim-on-denim ... ever. Not for lack of trying! I just end up looking frumpy. The kimono has me eyeing the trend again, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1646726 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 17:48:58 +0000 AviaMariah 1646726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great selection! &nbsp;After posting on Angie's blog I realized that one reason I don't wear this combo much (although I love it) is because I don't have any denim-like summer tops. &nbsp;My only denim tops are LS/button ups. &nbsp;So I'm going to have to give your finds a good look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1646723 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 17:42:14 +0000 Summer 1646723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Inge.&nbsp; I'm one of those who find button-downs tricky, so some of these tops would fit the bill nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1646706 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 16:54:53 +0000 Angie 1646706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohooo, Inge.

I really love the peplums and the faux wrap-front blouses. Off to find something similar that's available here in India! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1646679 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 16:19:50 +0000 rachylou 1646679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super finds.

I will have to study these in more details when I get home. Lots of promising options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1646618 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 15:03:33 +0000 Elizabeth P 1646618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, who knew there were so many options!&nbsp; Loving some of the tanks... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-tops---not-button-downs#post-1646617 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 15:03:07 +0000 Roxanna 1646617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great finds to share Inge!

I also can't wait to experiment a bit more with my new light wash denim jacket.<br />Like Tanya, Angie and other Fabbers, I also love the idea of sporting double denim with a top or blouse that is a little different from the classic denim/chambray button-down, so I had a look around to see what is out there right now.<br />Just thought I'd share while I was at it;-) </p>
