Cardi's and Camo

Y'all, it's finally sweater weather in Georgia! For real! Like you can wear a sweater in the morning when you leave the house, still have it on when you get home at night and not have suffered heat stroke during the day! Insert praise hands from this fall weather loving girl! Better late than never, right? I bought this cardi well over a month ago and I've been patiently waiting 😏 to wear it ever since. Is there anything more perfect than a thick, cozy cardi with a hood AND pockets?!? I don't think so! I love this one so much I also added this one to my fall/winter wardrobe.

Enough about my cozy cardi love affair and let's address the elephant in the room ~ or the leopard on my feet paired with camo jeans. I'm not some crazy pattern blind lady, promise! Both leopard and camo are treated as neutrals in the fashion world which means you can wear both prints with anything you would wear neutrals with. AND pairing leopard with camo (or with stripes or florals) actually makes a chic fashion statement! It may not be for everyone but it sure is one of my favorite combos.

~ What I'm Wearing ~

Hoodie Cardigan: Entourage Clothing

Henley Tee With Lace Detail: Similar

Camo Jeans: Similar | Loving these leopard joggers too!

Leopard Booties: Amazon | They are super comfy!

Sunburst Necklace: Entourage Clothing

Aviators: Vera Bradley c/o | Favorite pair of sunnies I've ever owned!

Olive Crossbody Bag: Urban Expressions c/o | This bag is the perfect size ~ not too big and not too small

Hoop Earrings: Stella & Dot

Is it finally sweater weather where you are? How do you feel about pairing camo and leopard? Yay or nay?

My Fall Weekend Uniform

Happy November! My favorite month of the year!! I titled this post "My Fall Weekend Uniform" but to be honest this is pretty much " My Fall Everyday Uniform"! Lucky for me I work where leggings, camo and cute kicks are welcome and I love it! Don't get me wrong, I have denim days and dress days but my favorite days are legging-tunic-comfy kicks days!

Every piece that I'm wearing is on constant repeat. I live in these Spanx Moto Leggings and when I'm not wearing them I'm wearing this faux leather pair. Both are fabulous, slimming, comfy and a must-have for every girl! (This pair and this pair are on my birthday wish list because you can't have too many!) Tunic tops cover a multitude of sins and make leggings acceptable to wear as pants. You gotta cover that bootie, ladies! Now the jacket... this camo cutie can be worn as a shirt or a jacket, is totally on trend and makes an otherwise basic outfit pop! I sized up so it goes easily over other shirts. Do you love comfy, chic kicks like I do? Then these are for you too! I've been carrying this gorgeous backpack every day this season but I decided to switch to a crossbody to change things up a bit. This one is the perfect size ~ not too big and not too small ~ and the olive green color is gorgeous!

Have you adopted a uniform yet this season? If so, tell me about yours!

Camo ~ Another Neutral ~ Another Staple

I'm as girly of a girl as you can get but I love camo! When camo became a hot trend a few years ago I jumped on it hard ~ from tops to jeans and joggers ~ my camo collection is pretty extensive! I'm glad it's a trend that stuck around. I'm also glad that camo, like leopard, is considered a neutral and pairs well with most colors, especially brights. Everyone knows that a denim vest is a closet staple (and if this fact is new to you stop what you are doing, click on the link and get one now!) but I think a camo vest should be as well. It's a great, versatile completer piece that can be worn year round!

Excuse the face. I was focusing hard on crossing the street, coffee in hand! ha!

~ What I'm Wearing ~

Orange/Coral Maxi: Old Navy (last year) | Current season here (I love the hem!!)

Camo Vest: Scored at a "bloggers' closet" sale | Identical

Tan Leather Tote: Another closet staple and I've had this one for years! | LOVE this one and the price is amazing!

Wedges: I've had these for years too! | This fab pair is at the TOP of my summer wish list and they just went on sale!

Fringe Necklace: Stella & Dot

Sunnies: Quay Australia

Sorry that this post is a day late! My weekend was INSANE (all good, lot's of family time, but so very busy celebrating my son's birthday and father's day) and every Monday after work I meet my blogger friend, Hannah, to shoot pics for the coming week, so I'm a bit behind! Better late than never, right?

Girly Camo

I love taking something "tough" like leather or camo and softening it up with something feminine and girly. The contrast is fun and makes an outfit interesting and a little unexpected. I have two great pair of camo skinnies that fit perfectly and are on HEAVY rotation in my closet. This metallic bow blouse was a recent purchase from the W Hotel/Shop the Bloggers Closet event about a month ago. I've worn it multiple times since it came home with me and I know it too will be on HEAVY rotation this summer! It will be great with everything from skinny jeans to boyfriend shorts and little summer skirts! I finished off today's look with metallic wedges (is there any shoe more stylishly comfy than a wedge?) and a hot pink bucket bag by one of my favorites, Isaac Mizrahi. How do you wear your camo?

What I'm wearing ~
Top: MM Couture (similar here and here)
Camo Skinnies: Old Navy
Bag: Isaac Mizrahi via TJMaxx (last year, similar)
Metallic Wedges: Steve Madden (old, completely obsessed with these)
Twitter Handle Necklace: Bauble Bar

Happy Weekend!
