Utility Chic

I pulled this look from my closet and I can honestly say that I am so excited with the way it turned out. I seriously want to wear this every day! I’ve been wearing camo prints for as long as I can remember – no kidding at least 30 years. I love the way the fashion industry decides to proclaim that “camo prints are back for Spring” – as if they ever left!! They are such a classic and really are like animal prints in the way they act as a neutral. You can wear them with any color and with most prints – I especially love them paired with plaids (which is a super look that I plan on wearing for the Fall). And any shade of army green is the ultimate classic neutral too. I’ve been wearing vintage army jackets since the 80’s. Oops, guess I’m showing my age here….

But the pants! Guess how happy I was when the fashion gods proclaimed that cargo pants were the hottest trend this Spring. Pulling out these babies from my closet brought tears of joy to my eyes. These pants are seriously about 12 years old – you can tell by that low rise. But who cares! They’re totally awesome. I got these from a spin-off store from Abercrombie & Fitch called Ruehl. It was a cool store concept that had more of a contemporary vibe. Unfortunately they shuttered the brand after only a few years. These pants check off all the best trends in pants right now – camo print, cargo style, flared leg & slim hips. I couldn’t ask for anything more!
