camo is a neutral
well, i’m certain you’ve heard that leopard is a neutral. but did you know that camouflage is a neutral too? according to jenna lyons that is. i don’t know about you, but once fall arrives i think camo is the perfect pattern play. for the past several years, i’ve slowly transitioned several camo items into my wardrobe. here’s a pair of chinos seen here and a fun scarf seen here. but this year i knew a bomber jacket would be just the ticket. especially since the nordstrom anniversary sale featured the perfect camo jacket last july. of course, this particular one is no longer available ( i waited just a bit too long for the weather to cool). but several variations are floating around in the retail world.
there’s a jam-packed day ahead of me, so a pair of flats is a must. but i couldn’t resist a little pattern play. so out came my trusty cheetah loafers as they are the perfect compliment to black skinny jeans. a chunky turtleneck, a black tote, and a little bling are all that’s needed to bring this outfit home.
it’s november peeps! time to get our holiday game face on. are you ready?

Such a great look that shows ‘style at a certain age’ can be a little edgy – not stodgy! I have to admit, I typically wouldn’t have considered trying on a camo jacket until I saw how attractive Kris Kardashian looked in a casual camo hoodie. Your outfit has inspired me to search for just the right camo piece to give my wardrobe an update. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are rockin’ the camo! Love the zippers on the pockets of the pants…adds a little something extra… xoxo
the devil is in the details, donna!

Bomber jackets are big this year. Cute style–I like the contrast color ribbing.
bomber jackets are definitely on-trend this year. and there are so many to choose from. but i’ve been on a camo kick the past few years and thought this one was darn cute to add to my collection.

Coincidently, I received this morn an email from the “Who What Where” feed on this very topic! Several camo choices here: http://www.whowhatwear.com/camo-jackets-for-fall/slide10
