Camouflage Pants: Inspired Outfit #2 and On the Edge of the Week Link Up #12

September 1, 2016 / 84 Comments

This is my second camouflage post inspired by Sheela Writes, The World According to Eve, and Jodie’s Touch of Style from their camouflage collaboration. If you read my post last week, I styled a Camouflage Bandana. This week, in addition to being inspired by Sheela, Eve, and Jodie, I was also inspired by Karen of She Thought She Could So She Did. Karen styled a pink shirt with an olive skirt and I immediately thought I wanted to pair pink with my camo pants.

At first I had coupled a bright pink tee similar in color to Karen’s top and I accessorized with black gladiator sandals and black accented jewelry. But I was so miserable that day in a perimenopausal hell with cystic nightmares taking on lives of their own on my face that I never found the motivation or desire to take any photos. It was a pretty cute outfit minus the acne outbreak! I quickly switched to my pajamas and stayed inside all day.

Camo and pink take 2 happened a few days later and then I just wasn’t feeling the bright pink. I decided to try some blush pink instead. But all in my accessories. I went with a black tee and moto vest then added blush lace up flats, a blush floral scarf, and a blush bag. And I really kind of loved the contrast of the feminine pink and floral against the tougher camouflage and black moto vest.

The hell of the few days previous had passed and my skin had cleared up pretty quickly, so I was feeling much more confident in this outfit. Maybe it was the outfit. Maybe it was the insane hormones going back into hibernation for a few weeks. But either way…it was a much better day.

And because I felt better, my confidence soared and I had an amazing and quite productive day. There are big things in the works…more on that later. Probably much later.

So how do you wear camouflage? I would love to know! And have you been outfit inspired by another blogger lately? I thrive on these inspirations!
