Fun Fashion Friday

So I was at Target last week, spent a glorious 2 hours there, alone.  While I was there I perused the racks that I never get a chance to because The Toddler wants to run and hide or the baby wants a bottle, again.  I saw some cute things, chunky sweaters, lots of layering tees, CAMO JEANS!

Hear me out.

I wanted these jeans {I can't find them online}.  They had zippers.  They were skinny. They were bad ass. I'm fairly certain that coming home with them would have earned me some major brownie points with Jimmy too.  BUT I'm not at the size I want to be to be rocking such a trend so I passed them up.

I heard or read somewhere that camo is being seen as the new neutral.  Kinda like leopard.  They're both bold patterns but you can mix and match them with stuff the same way you can grey, so they say.

But I'm no fashion expert so I'm asking you.  What do you think of camo as a neutral?  Or the camo trend altogether?  Love it?  Hate it?  Let's chat.

  3. I've definitely seen a huge trend of camo as a neutral this fall. Personally I don't wear any, because other that for hunting reasons, Skip hates when regular people wear camo. It's a Marine thing;-)

  5. I love camo! I just bought a super cute pair of Guess tennis shoes and I am loving them. I am dying for a pair of camo pants this year.

  7. I would have never imagined wearing camo. But looking at your pictures and this post, I'm thinking I need to make a trip to Target ASAP! And preferably for 2 hours ALONE! Jealous! Happy Friday!

  8. The way those models are wearing camo in the photo above is awesome! I'm not sure I could look that awesome in camo, but I would be willing to try it.

  9. I love camo. I bought a pair of canvas camo print converse style sneakers for myself at Target a couple of weeks ago. I am totally coveting the camo jacket in that picture up there. I think I need it. NEED.

  11. Speaking as your friend who works in fashion for a living, yes. Camo is a neutral. Yes you can pair camo and camo together you just have to be careful.

  12. i have a camo coat from the gap which i LOVE, but i can never seem to pull it off with so many prints like others do! perhaps its my body shape. all these fashion bloggers have the complete opposite shape of myself, and my boobs ruin the look of almost anything. even though i have no idea how to wear it as a neutral, id say its becoming one for sure!

  13. I'm with you on the not being the size you want! My husband doesn't understand how hard it's been for me (unlike you I haven't reached a comfortable weight since 2010 when I had Row) to find clothes! I got a magic time at Target last week too and found a great lightweight (we live in the south) cardigan for $11!!

  15. I don't know what to think of the camo. On the models I think it's cute but I don't think I could pull it off. I am not at my comfortable weight, but I have also always had a rule. I hunt, I wear camo during hunting season. I made a vow the rule that I wouldn't wear it otherwise. Now I know the camo that is "in style" isn't Real Tree or anything it is just don't think I could bring myself to wear it.

  16. I am the lone dissenter, I guess. I say no to camo. But I'm also old and like plain, classic clothing. LOL
