PUYV: Khaki & Olive "Soft"

Dress, Mossimo (swap). Jacket, Dex (swap). Sweater, Body Central. Boots, Diba. Earrings, Target.


Accent colors: pumpkin, pine, saffron, and wine.


In Style’s “soft” khaki and olive example

I’ll admit: I’m no stranger to khaki and olive.


If we “accented” our khaki and olive, though, it was with blood red

Nowadays when I wear camo, I wear it in only the most ironic manner. I’ve only recently acquired a few olive colored items: this jacket and the matching skirt. (Oh, and I can’t forget the olive uniform skirt that I now wear to work.) Khaki has fewer military associations for me.

Previous Khaki & Olive “soft” looks:

As you can see in the left photo, the much maligned yellow hallway was once orange or, as I christened it, “pumpkin puke.”

  4. You look great in Camo, I'm not sure I could pull it off though. I am searching for more citrus colors for my wardrobe, inspired by your posts :-)

  5. KD - this following link is a sort of close up of the earrings. I'll have to take a better shot:

  7. I feel so dumb in cammo, but I always think it’s super cheeky and cute on your, given your background of actually wearing it as a uniform in service.
