New To My Closet... Camo!

Man, I am tired this morning!  I think my tempo run yesterday wiped me out!

I love that it's Friday!  I get to go out w/ my man tonight, yea!

 

Welcome to another edition of 'new to my closet'.

These items were added a few weeks ago... and I've only worn one item!

I do that... buy then don't wear for a while.

 

First up these fabulous wine colored, alligator skin heels.

 

Do you love these?  I so do!  Oh how I love shoes!

 

 These nude heels are the only purchase in this post from Target.  Everything else I got at Burlington Coat Factory.  I don't often buy clothes there, but I have found endless deals on shoes there!

My first pair of camo pants.  I'm sure I'm one of the last to jump on this trend, but I think it will continue, so I went for it!  This is the item I've worn... I'll show you that today.

I bought this cute, lightweight sweater to wear with these pants, although that was not the first look I went with. Love it, lightweight, and a little surprise in the back!

 

 Can you see the animal print?  It's sheer and a soft pink... fab!

Also following the 'have some leather' trend, this peplum.  Oh heart it!  It looks classy, can't wait to wear it!

Here is how I wore my camo pants...

 

 

I wore my fabulous Banana Republic sparkle shoes.  I love this color... I love these shoes!

Leather... at Church?

Hello pretties!

Today is Sunday... I love Sunday!

Sunday is our Sabbath day.  In our home it is a day that is different from other days.  We dress differently, we go to church, we engage in different activities, we spend time together as a family.  It is a day of rest and reverence... as much as we can with little kiddies running around!

 

I love dressing up to go to church!

 

Today, however is General Conference.  In the history of this restored gospel saints have met together biannually to listen to the words of the apostles and prophet.

And, today is that day!

 

So, today I'm in my comfy's, snuggled with my kids, listening...

Have you ever heard of this?  I invite you to listen... be uplifted, hear words of counsel... it doesn't even matter what faith you are... this is for everyone!  There have already been several sessions and there are two more today... pick one and listen... I'd love to know what you think!

 

Today I bring you a recent Sunday look... Is leather appropriate at church?

 

I found this amber skirt at Target.  I seriously find the best deals there, not all stores have the inventory mine does I guess!

I got this jacket this spring, also at Target... love it with this look!

 

I went with a high ponytail for some sass!

What is Black, White... and Leather...?

That would be me I guess!

Not too long ago my man and I celebrated 16 years of marriage.  I've yet to blog about it... mostly because like all things I get this great idea that takes 20 hours to put together instead of just writing about it!

Anyway... because he knows me well he got me a gift card to Marshalls... because I love that store!

 

I promptly went shopping!

At the end of my hunting I looked in my cart and everything was black and white... except my new workout wear, but that's to be expected.

This is crazy for me because I seldom wear black.  I love color!

Still, I went for it.

 

Here is what I added to my closet...

 

Oh no you didn't... oh yes I did!  Leather leggings... in the front, because my butt doesn't look good enough to don leather!  The back is regular spandex, hides more!

 

Leather is a must this fall.  So are classic prints.  I love this hounds tooth print top, can't wait to wear it!  I thought that little triangle guy was fabulous... I plan to wear it with the leather or some bold colored pants.

 

Do you love this jacket?  Oh my... love!  Leather AND black and white!

 

I have too many boots for one person, but I don't have a combat style boot.  Thank you Marshalls... these will do!

Keep watching to see how I wear these!

Do you buy things specifically to go with items already in your closet or do you just buy what you like and figure it out later?  I do a little bit of both.
