Outfits Not Just Clothes

I think this occurred during one of my wardrobe reorganizing frenzies when I went with a color-coded system. Sometimes I like to shake things up with an overhaul of hanger partners, which doesn't necessarily make things more efficient, but DOES give me new ideas on how to style my current wardrobe. Consider it another way of shopping one's closet. So, I've breathed some new style life into this blazer with this camouflage button-up, while keeping the look casual with black joggers and duck boots.  And speaking of "new style life" I realize my posting has been haphazard at best, and the past few posts I haven't really brought my Style A-Game.  Maybe this post should be "Lack of a Style Li...

I wore this for Saturday errands to Target and Costco, but I can also see it working for a low key brunch, a movie date, an evening reading at the coffee shop, or just a put together around the house look. FYI, this shirt is made of the softest flannel AND I've layered tights and a long-sleeved tee underneath for warmth. Also, my hair it totes cray in these pics, the wind was not my friend during the shoot. :)

In this outfit I paired it with a tweedy blazer and boots. The subtly of the camo pattern is a chic little nod to the trend. Here's another instance of camo I featured this fall. The thing about this trend is that a little goes a long way -- it might be time to take a break.
