Camo Crusade

I'll start this post off with honesty.  I'm not completely sure I'm on board or should try this trend, but I keep seeing it and wondering if I could pull it off.  Not to mention, models and celebrities, and even fellow bloggers [Blair from A-P just seems to make everything look chic], all seem to look undeniably cool with their loose-fitting camo jackets over their outfits.  Whether it's a basic dress or a t-shirt and boyfriend jeans underneath, the balance of feminine and tough just looks good together.  I love the idea of a black dress and feminine jewelry with simple, comfortable booties, but can't deny that boyfriend jeans and heels looks just as good.  From the styling I've seen so far with the camo craze, it's much like leopard in that people are using it as a neutral.  I feel like I would still need some thought behind my look, but I may just be able to make it work.

Peplum Power

Peplums seem to be taking the fashion world by storm.  This, I am perfectly okay with because they have been one of my obsessions for awhile now.  First of all, it's the cutest addition to a shirt, skirt, or dress that still keeps the garment simple.  Second, I love that the style draws in at your natural waist while giving you some breathing room [comfort + style = my favorite].  Lastly, these styles are the perfect backdrop for any statement necklace you've ever been itching to wear.  They showcase these necklaces like no other garment, while still adding some interest to the bottom/middle.  I have one arriving today from ASOS and I can't wait to wear it, as in I've seriously been dreaming about it for the last week.  [disclaimer: I know my set below is too wide for the blog, but I didn't feel like fixing it so y'all could see the detail]
