Camel Colored Accessories

‪

pants: H&M; shoes: Franco Sarto.

I remember when I was in college, many years ago (eeeeks!) & my bestie, Amanda, bought a pair of camel colored boots. We both ogled ‬at them agreeing that they were indeed a must-have despite collegiate credit card debt. When Amanda would try them on we also both agreed that they looked a little cowgirlish (not the look at the time) so they would stay nice & unscathed (read: unworn) at the apartment. It seems as though we just didn't know what to do with that color, yet we were still drawn to it.

That was then, this is now. I can't believe my life without camel colored accessories. They go with everything - or at least I think so.  I hope you still have those boots Amanda, they (& you!) were ahead of our closets :)

Fiddle Fern Color Play

Happy Memorial Day!!!

I recently sent the photos from out trip to San Fran to my mom.  She responded with excitement about the "fiddle ferns" and asked what I planned to do with all of our photos. I hadn't really thought about either.   At first I wondered what in the world she was talking about. Then I realized that she was talking about these squiggly things I saw at the farmers market.  Now I can say that I want to try fiddle ferns and since I didn't have any on hand to try I did the next best thing - I used the colors as inspiration for a hypothetical outfit.

Parts of this spunky casual outfit stems from a new-to-me site, Bodenusa.com.  When Dulcie, one of my amazing sister-in-laws, told me that it had clothes with the likes of Anthropologie I couldn't wait to check it out.  Officially obsessed. Thanks Dulcie!
