Camo and Stripes with Pigtails

Back in March, I accompanied Jill to an event at LOFT. At these things, there's usually a giveaway of some sort, and I wound up wining a $100 gift card! When I finally went back to pick up the card and go shopping, they were having one of their myriad 50ish% off sales, so I was able to scoop up these ridiculously comfortable jeans, a great pair pair of mint sunglasses, AND I still have money left over. Ooo that reminds me, I need to go back and spend the rest of it soon!

Camo Jeans with Pink and Yellow

FINALLY!!!!! I have been searching for the perfect camo jeans that weren't too dark, but weren't too girly either. And, of course, the fit had to be perfect. Gap had a few good looking options last year, but the fit was never quite right. Old Navy Rockstars to the rescue! I ordered these online, and they were everything I wanted them to be. The best part is that this is the new mid-rise fit, so no more booty-exposure getting out of the car!

Go-to Tuesday: Skinny Jeans at Old Navy

I'm a huge fan of shopping around, checking out new stores, and rifling through the racks at Marshalls. But sometimes, I know exactly what I need and where to get it. Go-to Tuesdays will be a weekly(ish) feature where I share my go-to stores for particular items.

Let's start off with Skinny Jeans.  Old Navy is, hands down, my first stop when I need to stock up. The Rockstar fit is my favorite (now with some great flares, too!), and I recently discovered that The Diva has a nice thickness to make white pants less see-through.

I've also had good luck with colored/patterned skinnies at Forever 21, although that is extremely hit or miss with the fit. And my newest discovery are the Super Skinny jeans at LOFT.

What's your favorite store to shop for jeans?

Red Turtleneck and Camo Vest

I'm posting this outfit on April Fool's Day because a style blogger in Uggs is a bit of a joke. Out of desperation for something to wear to/from Bar Method in the winter, I bought a pair of $14 purple faux-Uggs. I quickly wore those out - and it was definitely not because I was working out a lot! It pained me to spend real Ugg money on such ugly shoes, but I finally bit the bullet. AND NOW I CAN'T TAKE THEM OFF.  My black Uggs paired with Magic Pants is my official uniform until Spring. Sorry not sorry.

Camo and Diamonds

I bought this ridiculous "diamond" necklace as an option to wear during my bridal shower/bachelorette weekend. I didn't wear it, and I figured it would eventually go into the costume or giveaway pile. But something about this simple jeans and tee outfit was begging for some interest. And in some inexplicable way, the necklace doesn't seem so ridiculous here.

Brown and Black Spiked Ankle Boots

This was just a little whatever outfit for the weekend, but I am super excited to finally share these boots with you! I bought them at my fave Bare Feet Shoes back during Christmas Break. It was a buy-one-get-one situation, so I bought these plus a fabulous pair of over the knee leopard boots for less - COMBINED - than these boots were going for at Urban Outfitters alone! All hail Bare Feet Shoes.

Hot Pink Stripes, Camo Vest, Snakeskin Sandals, and New Hair!

WHOOPSIE, I have been slacking off! With the wedding right around the corner, details have officially taken over my life!

These pics are from over a month ago, right after I got my hair done (which you already know if you follow me on Instagram). It started out as a very simple casual look - jeans and a striped tee - but as I kept adding patterns, it turned into something more exciting. I continue to be fascinated with New Neutrals, and if you're playing along at home, add snakeskin to that list.

Camo Blazer and Leopard Pumps

This is a Casual Friday Remix of the outfit I wore on the first day of school. I had originally imagined regular skinnies with this, but the slouchy boyfriend jeans seem a little more interesting. I topped it off with this camo blazer, and I'm very pleased with the way the boy/girl ratio turned out.

DO try this at home: Both camo and leopard are considered new neutrals, so mixing them together is a fool proof way of mixing prints!

Camo Blazer with Pink Necklace and Jeans

Aaand finally day 3 of Mini Take One Pass it On: the camo blazer (and, of course, purse) is back again.

Day 2 of the Accidental Mini Take One Pass it On. The white jeans are the major pass on here, but the necklace and purse are repeats, too.

On Safari: Camo with Leopard and Zebra

This trifecta just happened organically. I knew I wanted to dress up this vest to wear to school, and this is how it went down. I love how it turned out!

Citizen's Arrest

These are an oooold pair of pale grey Citizens I dug out of the bottom of my summer pants box - hence the semi-awkward length. They are also extremely low rise, so I left the back of the tee untucked to keep my buttcheeks under wraps!

I'm SO into chambray/denim combos! The polka dots on the shirt, ballet flats, and sparkly jewelry help it look a little less Cow Girl.

Private Benjamin

I tried this pink top on a month ago, and decided that I'd never wear it because the bra situation is a mess with that neckline. Then, I saw a bunch of bloggers in it, and I was sad I hadn't just plunked down the $18 for it. On a recent Forever trip, I spied it again and took that baby home!

I'm wearing a bra that can cross in the back, but even then, it takes some maneuvering to make sure the straps stay tucked in. I wore the jacket all day, so it wasn't an issue. But if I wore this by itself, I'd have to go strapless or come up with some kind of crazy contraption.

ALSO: I announced to Jill that I was no longer going to buy cheap shoes. I end up wearing them once, they tear up my feet, and then I'm scared to ever wear them again. Two days later, I bought these little camo ballet flats for $14 at Gap. Willpower of steal. But the great news is that they are super comfy even after a day of traipsing all over school, so all is well!
