Camo & Lace





sweater: french connection (similar here) // dress: worn as skirt shopbop similar here // boots: lucky brand (available here) // bag: 3.1 phillip lim (similar here) // hat: michael stars (similar here) // necklaces: tiffany & co (available here) and vintage brooch on a stella and dot charm necklace
For some people, clothing elicits a sort of visceral reaction (whether good or bad)….I am one of those people. Growing up where I did everyone wore their hunting camo gear everywhere ALL of the time. Walking into school each morning was like walking through a forest of people literally blending in with each other. So naturally, I stood out like sore thumb in my 4 inch stilettos and carefully thought out ensembles. Back then I used to almost be embarrassed of the fact that I love clothing so much and actually care what I put on my body……but now after I stopped seeking the approval of everyone in my hometown (or anyone else for that matter) I take pride in the fact that yes, beautiful clothes make me HAPPY. Now its kind of ironic to be sporting a camo sweater and all of the feelings and emotions it brings back….but damn if I didn't love this camo and lace combo :)

  1. Damn this look is so good..I am starting to think that a little lace can make everything more chic. But this camo with it is brilliant, and of course the hat gives the look even more appeal..GENIUS!

  4. I can so relate to this! In my country, camo is worn almost by everyone and not in the positive,fashionable way too :D I'm still somewhat uncomfortable, by my willingness to dress pretty, which is so weird.
    The outfit is wonderful, I love the different color variation of the camo top and those boots are bad ass!
