Leather and Camouflage

I've got a major crush on J.Crew's fall line.  All the leather accents and camouflage have me smitten.  If you're not sure how to break into the camo trend, a scarf is the perfect way to ease yourself into camouflage.  It's a small accent that will help you look fashion forward instead of "army chick."  
This trend represents one way in which I like to "stick to the classics" and only splurge on inexpensive trendy items.  This scarf, for example, is only $55, which would be well worth the money for the entire scarf season. I can't lie, I deeply considered splurging on the camo trend and buying this vest, but when I considered my options, the smarter choice was the classic striped vest.  I know I'll wear it season after season.

How do you feel about the camouflage trend?  
Do you think it will stick around for a few seasons or be out quickly like neon?

  2. Love this look! And I completely agree about splurging on trendy pieces, I would have opted for the striped puffer too :) Hope your first week back to school is going fabulous!

  3. Such a cute look! Now that I've got my first ever leopard print in a shoe, I just might have to go for a camo print scarf. Love it!

    1. You so should! I'm all about starting small with bold prints and then working your way up to something bigger. I LOVE the leopard print shoes...they go with so much and are great for fall!
