Classic Camel

October 17, 2010







{Jeans ~ Z. Cavaricci (my faves!) / Top ~ Simply Vera Wang for Kohls / Thrifted Cashmere Blend Blazer / Leopard Booties ~ UrbanOG / Handbag ~ LV Paris Speedy Cube}


Wore this outfit to lunch with my hubby on Saturday and thank goodness we didn't have to walk much because these booties were so uncomfortable!  I felt like I was teetering on my tiptoes with every step, lol.  And for some reason, I don't remember the discomfort the last time I wore them.  Maybe it was because I only wore them to dinner and again, didn't have to walk much.  I had plans to rock them with a {little black dress} for a night out with the girls next weekend, but I don't think it's possible. So sad! 

...BUT!  I will be wearing them again for JUST dinner or JUST drinks where I will not be doing a lot of standing/walking/dancing.  These are stationary booties only, LOL!

Ok, so this blazer should have been a part of the Thrifted Blazer Mini-Series; it is just so amazingly soft, being a cashmere wool blend.  And the camel color is the perfect neutral.  It was extremely chilly and windy on Saturday and this beauty kept me so cozy!  It's so funny how all of my blazers are my fave.  I have serious issues, lol.

Speaking of shopping issues, has anyone shopped the ASOS sale?  The shoe sale is so good! They are also offering free shipping on all US orders, but of course because I am annoyingly impatient, I paid $12 for express.  :)

I got some really cute pieces; a few tops, a cardigan, a dress, a belt, some baubles and these amazing suede ankle boots for $30!!  I had plans to get the blue lace-up wedges that I posted about last week, but they were sold out. 

I am so excited about these though, I have been looking for the perfect pair of western inspired boots, ones that are not too pointy and casually fab... my search is over!  And I love the contrasting heel. 




I used to think western or cowboy boots were a bit too trendy for me, but with leggings and a cute tunic or dress, I think they would be adorable! 

What are your thoughts on cowboy boots?  Would you rock'em?

  6. Loving the combo of colors. The top is too cute, olive green is def a fave fall color. My last two ootds have had olive green. You gotta get those boots, I like cowboy type boots, that don't look too much like cowboy boots.

  13. Yeah, as soon as I saw this post I thought, that blazer shoulda been in the series. Loves me a camel colored blazer and cashmere?! Hursh.

    And thank you for being honest about how certain pairs of shoes are best worn for stationery purposes, lol. Folks be bafflin' me actin' like sky-high heels are always so easy, breezy. Ain't that much Dr. Scholls in the world ...

    The suede booties are TO DIE FOR, honey. LOVE, love, love!

    Since I'm a Southern girl who grew up in the country, I've always had an affinity for cowboy boots so YES! I'll rock'em. I've been looking for some ankle-length ones though, because the ones I have are classics and the ankle booties are more versatile.

    Cannot wait to see what you do with all the new goodies coming in :) I'mma stop tryin' to rank your outfits 'cause they're all 10s!

    Is personal stylin' your side hustle yet? It should be. I'll take you over Rachel Zoe 'nem any day; you make it look so effortless and lovely :)

  16. I too didn't miss the Asos sale, but only got a skirt. I like the combination of camel and green. They go very well together.
