It's more Indian summer than fall here. I guess I'm jumping the gun with the fall outfits. It's just hard to tell where I live--it's always cool and foggy in the mornings at home.</p> <p>Thanks Marley,&nbsp;Una, Parsley, Joy and Rachy--unfortunately&nbsp;I don't think DH will come around on the camo, he just has a poison eye for it. He did see me in it when I came home from work, but didn't say anything.&nbsp;It's OK, he doesn't have to like everything I wear. But I admit it does kind of take some of the fun out of it if he hates it. I didn't think camo had such a negative association, but I could see why that might be the case. I'm not the hunting/military type, so for me it's just a fashion statement.</p> <p>Deborah, thanks for the visuals, that is very helpful. You look great in your grey camo skinnies and I love it with the colorful&nbsp;&nbsp;And the graphic T is a good suggestion.<br />Marley--the bag is a Betsey Johnson burgundy patent&nbsp;quilted hearts satchel that I got at DSW. I believe the style was called Yours Mine &amp; Ours or something.</p> <p>Chadya, thanks and I can't wait to see your version!<br />Kkards, thanks for the suggestion. I don't wear trousers often, so I'd probably try pairing the denim moto with a full skirt next to femme up the jacket.<br />Pil, thanks for the suggestion! I think the brown lace up&nbsp;Fryes would definitely work with the outfit too. The burgundy sweater is a little bit baggy on me, I don't know if it's because I sized up or it stretched out or both. I still plan to wear it though because I really like it! It's good for luxe-ing up an outfit.</p> <p>Thanks Rae, Caro, Ceit, Jules, Gabrielle, Neel, Amiable, Sara L, Amy, AviaMariah, Brenda &amp; ABC! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042749 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 23:14:05 +0000 rachylou 1042749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have the right of it, more *you* elements. Polished shoes, heels, maybe DH will come around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042728 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 22:43:07 +0000 Anonymous 1042728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your camo with burgundy. Has SH seen this version? I like Deborah's ideas that make the camo look ladylike too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042451 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 17:39:59 +0000 Parsley 1042451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I *love* how you've feminized the camo pants! That outfit looks great, and more "you" than with a denim jacket. Maybe hubby will come around after all when he sees that!<br /> Personally, I still wear outfits that my husband doesn't love, just not usually when we're going out together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042445 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 17:27:12 +0000 abc 1042445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE that song! &nbsp;:)</p> <p>I like your idea on girly-ing up the camo pants. &nbsp;Wish I had suggestions on how, but I'm sure you will figure out a way, your style seems to tend toward more feminine so I'm sure you can come up with something! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042429 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 17:06:42 +0000 qfbrenda 1042429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042378 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 16:14:48 +0000 catgirl 1042378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The camo and burgundy is fab!&nbsp;&nbsp; I think you absolutely can wear both of these pieces.&nbsp; The key is whether DH's poison eye can be cured and how much&nbsp;it matters to you.&nbsp; I have a bit of poison eye for a lot of denim jackets so that one is harder for me.&nbsp; But you of all people can femme anything up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042333 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:04:34 +0000 AviaMariah 1042333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you've split these up - especially the camo + burgundy. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042332 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:02:35 +0000 Amy 1042332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042280 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 13:26:50 +0000 Sara L. 1042280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the camo and burgundy look!&nbsp; The denim moto also looks good with the floral jeans.&nbsp; I think this is a good way to wear both pieces in a more "you" way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042268 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:45:42 +0000 amiable 1042268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree #2 is a total winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042262 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:31:41 +0000 Neel 1042262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second look is very cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042237 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:08:53 +0000 pil 1042237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE how you have softened the look of the camo and made it more feminine in 2. I've always loved that sweater since I first saw you wearing it while you were pregnant. Would your laceup boots (Docs?) work with this too or is the color wrong? Maybe there would be too much going on with the laces *and* the camo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042230 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:44:30 +0000 Anonymous 1042230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. &nbsp;I love number 2!! &nbsp;You look amazing. &nbsp;All I see is class. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042219 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 10:52:54 +0000 chadya 1042219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the denim/camo look.&nbsp; I have the same GAP camo pants and also got the blue camo version.&nbsp; I have worn mine with contrast colors.&nbsp; I like the burgundy idea and will try that out today </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042217 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 10:50:10 +0000 Jules 1042217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfits and your title </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042211 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 10:18:28 +0000 kkards 1042211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i was so taken with the matching jeans and bag that i didn't even notice the denim moto! anyway, i do like this a lot. i also think that the moto would work with trousers as a way to take a business casual look to the casual side of the &nbsp;equation.<br />and the burgundy and camo--genuis!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042204 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 09:39:04 +0000 Anonymous 1042204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the camo and burgundy is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042183 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 06:32:26 +0000 Caro in Oz 1042183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the camo with the burgundy so chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042181 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 06:18:15 +0000 rae 1042181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, my favorite is the camo with burgundy!

And I like yours on you too:) I say pair them with items that are "you". I don't know if this helps but here are a couple of stylings I tried with mine. Mine are grey and work well with my overall colour palette. I like your stylings and think they look great on you.</p> <p>I also have #3 pinned on a Pinterest Board and it seems to be a very popular pin...cool styling for camo pants! I could see you working this look to your advantage:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-929-30-gotta-keep-em-separateddenim-and-camo-revisited#post-1042173 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 05:14:02 +0000 goldenpig 1042173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore a Gap <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-928-dhs-poison-eye-for-camo--now-what">denim moto and camo jeans</a> together (#3), but it didn't feel totally me (too tomboy) and DH didn't like the camo. Still not sure what I will do with the jeans, but I wanted to try your suggestions to split them up and pair them with more ladylike pieces so they felt more like my style. What do you think, are these better?<br />1. Denim moto with triple floral...WHBM floral jeans plus Kate Spade floral bag and sneakers. I've got the matchy matchy and ladylike print that make it more me.<br />2. I call this my "huntress" look...just need a bow and arrow!
