Camouflage Bandana: Inspired Outfit and On the Edge of the Week Link Up #11
As long as I can remember, I have been a fan of camouflage anything. Shirts, pants, bags, shoes. I even had camouflage curtains in my bedroom a few years back. But it seems over the past few years, my collection of camo items has dwindled to three: one pair of pants, a pair of blue camo Converse, and a bandana (that I only just found a few weeks ago tied to an old bag stuffed in the back of a closet). It seems either my camo items were just worn to death…I had a fabulous pair of knee high camo boots with buckles up the sides that I literally wore until they fell apart…beyond repair. Or the items just didn’t fit right…I am thinking of a gorgeous pair of camo pumps and an adorable pair of camo ballet flats that suddenly became too narrow after two pregnancies!
I definitely need to get back on the camo trend wagon! So, I was super excited to see that Sheela Writes, The World According to Eve, and Jodie’s Touch of Style recently featured camouflage in a blogger collaboration. I was totally inspired! Having only three camo items to work with, I decided to go with my newly discovered bandana. I think I may be styling my camo pants this week at some point. Perhaps I will feature it as a second inspired post for next week’s On the Edge of the Week Link Up post!
I kept my look pretty basic with a white button down tunic length top, distressed denim, and some fabulous black wedges. Add a killer pair of earrings and stacked up bracelets and it was the easiest outfit to pull together!
And of course, aren’t all photo shoots better when there is photobombing? Amy’s (my photographer/friend/blog supporter) pup, Brady, wanted to be part of the whole thing! So we just let him. I think he is the perfect accessory to my woodsy photos anyway! So how do you style your camouflage?
Outfit details:
Bandana: Very old…rediscovered in the back of my coat closet.
Shirt: Cato Fashions Button Down Boyfriend Tunic.
Jeans: Gap Factory Destructed Boyfriend Fit Jeans (currently on sale for $29.99).
Sandals: Merona Meredith Espadrille Sandals in Black from Target (I picked these up at my local Target for under $7).
Earrings: A gift from Amy.
Bracelets: Why, Boho Betty, of course!

The camo print bandanna is a great way to wear the trend – knocking off two trends in one with it tied as a neckscarf 🙂

How fabulous that your carrying on the camo theme for this week!!
I was shocked that you used to have so much of it…I’ve never even thought about having it before now—it just goes to show how ahead you are in the fashion world, Shelbee!!
You look great—I love the neck scarf trend too—and your pup is quite camouflaged—totally on point!

I show a camo legging next week! Camo and legging! Haha, never would thought that! In the eighties we wore a lot of camo!
What a beautifulpictures and a very nice outfit! That s a beautiful blouse! And the bamdana is a great choice!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Nancy! I think I had a pair of camo leggings at one point! Love it. I always wanted a formal dress in camo but have never found one to my taste (they are always the hunting camo which I am not a fan of)! I will stop by to check out your camo legging post, for sure.

So fun, Dawn Lucy! I need to get more bandanas! I used to have a whole slew of them, but I have only rediscovered two in the back of my closet… the camo one and a bright pink one with black peace signs on it! I will have to style that one soon, too. Thanks for stopping by!

Debbie Stinedurf
This is such a perfect outfit Shelbee! So easy, but so cool. I love, love, love camo and probably own way too much of it. I always use it as a neutral and style it with other prints. I also love it paired with pink. Something about the girly/boyish thing gets me every time. And I love the pup…I often have doggie photo bombers when I do my shots at home!

Thanks so much, Debbie! I actually just wore my camo pants with a bright pink tee and then never took pictures because I was having an awful perimenopausal menstrual mayhem day and ended up very quickly in my pjs! I did however, wear the camo pants again with some blush pink accessories…I will show you all in next week’s link up!

I don’t have much camo either. I would love a camo button-down, camo pointy flats or pumps and a pair of camo skinny pants. I like this simple but fun look and those great Target wedges.
Also, I would love for you to be my co-host some day. Are you in? I have openings in Septemeber. Let me know Shelbee. (Comment me and let me know, thanks.)
Have a great weekend!
Ada. =)

I’m not a fan of camo as I live in the northwoods and I see it everywhere. I love that wearing it in a small touch, just the necktie. Love the photo shoot! You look great!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you, Amy! I actually am not a fan of woodland camo at all. But I do love good old fashioned military camo patterns. You would think I would get sick of it living a military life, but I just love it!

White & denim is a favourite for me and such an easy outfit to style. That bandana is such a great accessory and it looks like you had a lot of fun taking those pictures!

What a cute camo bandana/neck-tie!!! I really need to get a neck-tie soon, they are so popular right now. It looks great with that crisp white button down and I love the length of the button down, too!
Carrie

shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you, Carrie! I seriously fell in love at first sight with this shirt because of the length that I actually paid full price for it, which I rarely ever do! (Although full price was only around $22 so not that big of a deal!) You should check thrift or consignment shops for neck ties and scarves. I found the cutest brown polka dot skinny scarf/neck tie in a local consignment shop that is going to be so, so perfect for fall!

You added the bandana! A fun trend! Love the camo pants, I am a fan of distressed denim. Camo looks great like you showed here, as a neutral and fresh with the white top! Love that you took it in the woods.
