Gray + Camel

I've discovered that camel goes with just about anything, especially other neutrals. Camel in collaboration with other basic color palettes comes together effortlessly. For today's look I decided to pair my camel duster vest and tan pumps with my favorite pair of sweatpants (which I scored from the men's section in Forever 21) and my gray long sleeve shirt. I threw on my faux fur stole that I snatched from H&M a few years ago for $5 to complete the look. The reason I love this look is the fact that it's so chill but yet still put together. The sweats are SUPER comfy along with the top, but the duster, stole, and pumps elevate the look to be a bit more polished.

Which color combo are you willing to try? Camel + black, camel + navy, camel + brown, or camel + gray? Let me know in the comment section below. I hope you will incorporate camel into your wardrobe this season. It's the perfect neutral to compliment a bevy of colors.

P.S. I want to say thank you for the huge outpouring of support from my last post about my angel DJ. While, I was a bit hesitant to share my recent ordeal with you my readers, I knew it had to be done (you guys are like family). I'm glad I was able to open up about my experience and share my testimony from my greatest trial. Just know your kind words encouraged me beyond measure.

Happy Hump Day!

Camel + Black

Being pregnant causes your body to go through many changes. Some of the challenges that I face are the mundane pregnancy clothes they offer in stores and online. Mostly they use garments that aid in disguising your bump rather than celebrating it offering boring colors and hideous patterns. Even though I'm with child I still want to look great, feel sexy, and celebrate the fact that I have an amazing life growing inside me. I wanted to challenge myself to create a more dressed up look that accentuated my bump, was comfy, and high fashion. While I LOVE to experiment with color you can't go wrong using a simplistic color palette like camel and black. I paired a ruffled black cami with a black pencil midi skirt and topped it with my camel duster coat and camel pumps to create this two - toned masterpiece. It turned out really well. My bump is displayed in it's full glory! Baby Anderson is the focal point...and while some days I'm more subconscious than others about displaying him in such a light...I decided to just go for it and rock the bump!!!!

I found this really quaint courtyard that aided in the grown and sexy vibe of the photoshoot. I will have to recreate this look for a night out with the hubby. He really liked the look :)

TGIF! Have an awesome weekend.
