Camo & Booties


I'm rockin' the military look this Monday! Camouflage is one of those prints that goes in and out of style pretty frequently. Without fail as soon as I think, "oh camo isn't in anymore. I should just donate this or toss it", boom- The army trend comes back in full force. Has this kind of thing happened to you as well? It is safe to say that I have learned my lesson. I plan on hanging onto these cute camouflage shorts as long as they continue to fit me. Printed denim is fun, edgy and these army shorts are super comfy given their stretchy material.



 

I was super excited when I came across these black booties at H&M. I had been searching for a good pair of black ankle boots for almost a year. I thought these ones were perfect until I wore them with a skirt. The thread used to sew these booties together was not really thread at all and it was attacking my ankle! This thick plastic thread cut up my ankles and made it almost impossible to wear without the protection of pants. I tried cutting the ends, this did not help. I tried burning the ends, this did not help either and smelled something awful. Finally I went and got black electrical tape to cover all the sharp spots. I was relieved that I finally found a solution. Now I can wear these awesome little booties without slicing up my ankles and since the electrical tape is black you can't tell that I have tape covering the inside edges of my shoes.

Military Trend


My outfit today is loaded with texture, studs and attitude! I've always been fond of the military trend and was glad to see it make a comeback! When I say comeback, I mean HUGE comeback. It is nearly impossible to walk into a mall and not stumble across tons of army green, camouflage and utilitarian silhouettes. I salute the military trend and you should too... not all trends are easy to wear but I think you'll fall in love with the unexpected versatility of the latest military inspired fashion. 



I found my long sleeved camouflage shirt from the little boys department at target. It was on sale for $7, so I just couldn't pass it up. I often wander into the little kids sections at Target and Walmart because their stuff is so cute and cheap. Why pay $15-$20 for a shirt when you can pay half the price for the same amount of fabric in a different section of the store? I normally wear a size small in juniors and can usually fit a size XL in little girls or a size L in boys. Some of my favorite fashion finds are from the little kids section. Now you know my secret!




The easiest way to wear the military trend is to stay with a neutral pallet. There are lots of colors that can and do look great with olive green and camo but if you are unsure about what to pair your military pieces with then you should stick with classics like black, white, grey, brown, nude, etc. I wanted to dress up my super casual camouflage shirt so I layered it over a nude chiffon blouse with gold studded collar and tuxedo tail back. I then rolled my sleeves together to form nude chiffon cuffs. You can achieve this style by layering just about any long sleeved shirt over a long sleeved collared blouse. To draw even more attention to my embellished collar I wore a short gold necklace tucked underneath.




Gold studs everywhere! I added even more attitude and shine to my outfit with more gold accessories. Military inspired fashion tends to have an edgy undertone anyways, I played that up with my rocker chic accessories and pink hair don't care outlook!
