eyes wide shut


I spent 3 hours doing my hair on Saturday and by night time I was too exhausted to care what I put on or to take pictures. So I threw camo over a white tee, added a chunky necklace, some strappy heels and voila! O, and because I am a dedicated blogger ;) I recreated the look on Sunday just to take pics :)

wearing: OLD NAVY JACKET, j crew tee, AMERICAN APPAREL VELVET STIRRUPS, dolce vita heels, nordstrom necklace, kenneth cole men's watch

ETA: Lucky coincidence that I post this look and 3 days later I find out that the next BLOGGERS DO IT BETTER challenge is MILITARY CHIC!

    If I didn't just read that your outfit was thrown together I would have thought it was planned! Looks great I love the ruggedness of the camo jacket and the delicate balance of the velvet pants and heels! Your hair looks fab too ;-)

    I like how you threw on heels and a statement necklace with your outfit and it went from comfortable to casual chic.

    I love this! Just the right amount of "toughness" with the camouflage, and the heels/hair/necklace/& white tee bring in the chic.

    I like the camouflage look, myself. It goes well with white T-shirt and jeans and black polo boots.

    I've never worn with heels before. Lol.

    Just teasing. Your hair looks marvelous.

    I have this camo jacket. I love how you popped that collar on it! Where did you hide the drawstring? That's one of the issues that I had when I wore it. But it's one of my favorite pieces!

    "Is that velvet?"

    Lol, I just had to! I like the ruching on the fatigue jacket, it gives it a nice feminine shape. I need to have my fatigue jacket tailored so it will hang nicer.
