The Forgotten Casual

I totally wore this outfit months ago during my last 30x30 go around. It was actually one of my favorite outfits worn during it but for some reason I apparently never got around to posting the photos - until now!


Tee: Old Navy, $6 (on sale)
Camo Jacket: Old Navy, $20.99 (clearance)
Jeans: Old Navy, $15 (on sale)
Earrings: Francesca's Collections, $5 (on clearance)
Sandals: Isaac Mizrahi for Target, Target, OLD
Glasses: SEE Eyewear

Yes, lots and lots of Old Navy. What can I say? I love the place. I joked the other day with a friend that 98% of my wardrobe is from the thrift store and the other 2% is from Old Navy. They have had a lot of good pieces lately!


This camo jacket was one of my favorite finds over the summer. It was most likely way to hot to be wearing it when I was here but I didn't even care... Now that fall is starting, I am really looking forward to getting more wear out of it and mixing it with some unexpected items.






I loved pairing these awesome earrings with the jacket. They added that nice colorful summer note to an otherwise pretty neutral outfit, no?

How was your weekend, guys?

Camo Dreams (4/30)

Let's talk about camo today, shall we? I have been obsessed with the idea of owning a camo jacket for a while now. The obsession got further out of control when I came across this photo at All The Pretty Birds! Doesn't she look amazing? The camo jacket just totally makes the whole look and the necklace she paired with it? Oh, swoon. Needless to say, I have spent great amounts of time dreaming up my own camo jacket and what I would pair it with.

Then came one fateful trip to Old Navy. And there it was. Hanging alone on a clearance rack amidst tanks and sundresses. My perfect size. A dream come true!


Pleated Skirt: Peter Popovitch, Thrifted, $1.50
Black Tee: Forever21, Thrifted, OLD
Camo Jacket: Old Navy, $20.99 (on clearance)
Braided Belt: Tagless, Thrifted, $1
Wedge Sandals: Mossimo "Pilar", Target, FREE ($29.99 but bought with gift card)

It got a simple styling today - all black and camo. It doesn't get much easier than that yet it still looks good, you know? Classic with a twist. Pleats with an edge. My favorite belt to cinch the jacket in...


And my favorite jewelry ight now...


Both are pieces I inherited from my grandma... The watch doesn't work at this point but I wear it because it reminds me of her. Out of all the jewelry I inherited from her, this is my favorite. It is the one of my favorite memories of her - she was always wearing a watch and it was always a small, dainty watch like this. In fact, this was the one she wore the most and the only one left in her massive jewelry box at her death. Clearly, it was her favorite, which makes it a fast favorite for me as well.

In closing,



1. A favorite jacket
2. A favorite skirt
3. Favorite jewelry

It all makes for a happy Katie.
