Pinterest Told Me To Buy Camo Pants! And Then She Told Me How To Wear Them!

By 56 Comments

Pinterest told me to buy camo pants almost 2 years ago now.
When I bought them I was VERY unsure if I would actually wear them.
Bless My Heart.
I wore them so much in fact that I just bought a new pair.
Click HERE for my new pair.
See below for the inspiration for my Pinterest Told Me To recreation today.
How cute and cool does this girl look?
via
Here’s how I did it.
My shirt is from LOFT a couple of years ago, but sadly they no longer have it.
Don’t worry though, I’m going to give you lots of shirt options for camo pants in just a sec!
I thought it was a fun and little bit funky look!
I’m not gonna lie, when I wear my camo pants, I feel a lot cooler than I am.
The pants are powerful y’all.
And, I was wearing my favorite bracelet HERE.  You can find a similar watch HERE.
I also feel cooler when I wear my converse.
So when I wear my converse AND my camo pants together?
Well, I’m unstoppable.
I bought my converse last year, and again, I wasn’t sure I would wear them.
Seriously.   Bless my heart.

Converse HERE.
(My converse have a red stripe around them, but they are no longer available.)
For size reference, definitely order a 1/2 size down.  I’m typically a 6 or a 6 1/2, and the 5 1/2s were perfect for me.
I chose the grey because I wasn’t sure I could keep the white clean…and I love the grey!
The women’s “DAINTY” version is available HERE.
So, my new camo pants are the ones that are on the right (the modern skinny version)….and I can’t say enough good things about them!!!! They fit like a dream, they are stretchy (without being saggy), and they are comfy as all get out.  Full disclosure, I wore them 3 days in a row.
Carter even said “You are wearing your ranch pants again?”  😉
One of the great things about LOFT is that most of their pants come in regular, petite, and tall.
I have the regular modern skinny in a size 27.  I’m curvy up top, but pretty dang straight on the bottom, so I always go with the “modern” vs. the “skinny”.
I’m 5’4″ and they are perfect to wear with sneakers, flats, or booties.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.
Yep, they get the PTMT seal of approval.
Whatever that’s worth.  🙂

Both cuts have great reviews on the LOFT site!

curvy skinny HERE / modern skinny HERE

Need more options?
I’ve got 3 more for you right here!
The ones on the left are only $29.40 right now!
The only thing that worries about those camos on the left are the large cargo pockets on the side.  If you worry about adding bulk to this party of your body, then these pants might not be for you.

juniors HERE (40% OFF!) / designer dark camo HERE / piperlime camo HERE (only sizes 27, 29, 30, and 31 remaining) /

If you are still not quite sure about camo pants, I’m thinking this next collage might convince you.  If you browse Pinterest for camo pant outfit ideas, they are EVERYWHERE.
And like I said before, they just LOOK COOL.
Look!  Solid colors (oxblood, royal blue, and black) look great with them, and so do tees paired with denim and leather jackets or cardis.
Julianne Hough is even rocking her camos with a graphic tee and a boyfriend cardi!
And as you can see, you can wear all types of different shoes with them:  flats (I wore THESE with mine a lot last year), sandals, TOMS,  booties, WHATEVER is good!

no source /  HERE / HERE / HERE / HERE /  HERE  / HERE

So, if you already have camo pants or you are ordering some today, I thought it would be helpful for me to give you some different options for tops that pair well with them!

If you are ordering the pants from LOFT, then here are some LOFT options for tops that
all look great with the camo!
a) stitchy 2 in 1 sweater HERE / b) mixed striped tee HERE / c) collarless chambray shirt HERE
d) black and white striped 2 in 1 sweater HERE / e) coral striped sweatshirt HERE /

“b”, “d”, and “e” are all ON SALE and now an additional 60% OFF, no code needed!!!
They are pretty much just giving them away to anybody that wants a darling shirt.  😉

Or if you already have some or are ordering the pair ON SALE from Nordstrom, then here are some options from Nordstrom!
 a) vince striped boatneck top HERE / b) chambray HERE /
  c) free people boyfriend button down HERE / d) lace trim tunic HERE

And if you like the graphic tee look, here are some options:

MUST HAVE denim jacket HERE (other colors HERE)
a) nope tee HERE /  b) moroccan tile tee HERE / c) dream graphic tee HERE  


So, what do you think?
Please leave your comments with you thoughts on camo pants!
Do you have them already?  Do you love them?
DO YOU FEEL COOL WHEN YOU WEAR THEM?!?
Will you never ever ever even consider wearing them?!?
#neversaynever
LEAVE YOU THOUGHTS!!!!

And last thing……
If you follow me on facebook, then you saw this next collage Sunday afternoon!
I found this maxi dress on sale, and I thought I would show it styled with some items many of you already have in your closet!
THE MAXI IS UNDER $40!!!!

maxi dress HERE / MUST HAVE denim jacket HERE / earrings HERE
cognac wedges HERE (not many sizes left, other choices HERE and HERE)

I actually ordered THESE wedges for myself last week and they arrived on Friday afternoon.
They are definitely tall (taller than I was expecting), so I’m still deciding if I’m going to keep them.
They are a PERFECT cognac color, and I love the design.
I’m just not really used to such a tall wedge, but the height is perfect for me (especially for maxi dresses because maxis are often a little long on me and I need the added height).
Sadly, the sizes are already really picked over in the cognac color, but they are fully stocked in black.

One of my long time readers (Hi Jill!) sent me a couple of pics of her in the above maxi dress in different colors. I am dying at how DARLING Jill are her entire family are!!!!!  Okay….they are kind of more like GORGEOUS than darling.  Right?!?
 Jill LOVES the dress, but she does suggest that we for sure dry clean it like the label says.  She dry cleans hers and says it looks brand new, but her sister did wash hers once and the dress was ruined.
Thanks for the pics Jill!

See you all back here on Wednesday for the PTMT Bachelor recap!  It’s gonna be a doozie y’all because it was on FOR 3 HOURS LAST NIGHT AND IT’S ON AGAIN TONIGHT!!!!!!
HEAVEN HELP ME!

Sheaffer 🙂

    I have a pair of Jolt camo pants (Nordstrom Juniors) that I bought last year that I wear ALL THE TIME! By far, the most worn pants in my closet after jeans! I also love by gray Converse! Thanks for posting all these inspiration outfits! Happy Monday!!!

    I don't look good in maxi dresses that have waistline. Bought a DARLING black tank sleeve one at Target this weekend. Black but they also have several colors in stripes. For some reason, not on Target.com so can't post a link but it's super cute for those who like a clean look of no waistline. Merona brand $27.99 but I believe 20% off!

    I love my camo pants. I got them 2 years ago because YOU told me to! I have found that when I listen to you I never regret it! My latest regret is not listening to you and ordering those pink jeans a couple of weeks ago before I went to work. By the time I got home they were sold out in my size – ugh! Next time I'll be late for work but I'll have my buy!!!! LOL – have a wonderful week – I just adore you!!!!

    I wish I was brave enough to wear camo pants,but living in Alabama…I feel like the only time I can wear camo is when I'm heading out to the shooting house for deer hunting!
    But those wedges are to die for…they're my favorite shoes for Spring/Summer!

    Every time you do a camo post I'm tempted but haven't been brave enough yet! Really hope you are in the hunt for some new must have wedges….I love mine from your prior year must haves but seriously have worn so much I think they have about exceeded the useful life!

    Ranch pants!!! LOL …that cracks me up!! We are a camo family, well my boys are camo boys…they hunt everything, so camo is a must, but I have never thought about it for me!! They will be happy when they see Momma in these! 🙂

    I'm one of your fans that is over 50, and although I love camo pants, I feel that this is one post that I can't be tempted by. Such cute outfits though.

      Im 37 and I reeeeeeeally want to own a pair- after this post especially, but I don't know if its age appropriate?! I feel like if I wore a pair my friends would look at me and be all….."whaaaa? shes wearing camo?!" like it would be too loud/abrupt/unusual…….I don't know, I cant think of the adjective! but, I love reading the comments and honest votes for yay/nay. Please vote! 🙂

      I'm going to go for it….I figure I feel young and 44 is actually the new 22! =) I really wanted the dark (black/grey) pair that was profiled from Nordstrom, but they are out of size 26 (I thought the darker version might not scream I'm trying too hard). So, I'm going to buy the pair from Loft and live on the wild side.

      Thanks girls, for weighing in! I posted my comment then thought I should've told Wendy you look like you could rock them for sure!! I had the exact same thought that the darker pair would def be my first more subtle choice. Sheaffer we are the same age!! Yippee!! Love that! Makes me happy. 🙂

      Oh, and most importantly, Sheaffer, YOU rock those camo skinnies! So, I might just have to join in. I did buy the treasure & bond skinnies you featured last post from your Nordstrom clearance picks. Can't WAIT to try those on! My heart belongs to Hudson jeans, but you featured a commenter who felt the same way and now lives this T & B pair, so I'm anxious for UPS to show up at my doorstep :))) thx for that, Sheaffer!

    you are adorable in those camo pants! I just can't get on the band wagon, I feel like I'm a little old to be wearing that style! But if was younger, I think I'd be all over those!

    Cute wedges! They look too high for me too, but love the color!

    Thanks for the post as always! Fun read!

    I have some camo jeans…but I feel like my thunder thighs stand out even more when I wear them, so I've only worn them once…but maybe I need to get over my insecurity that when I'm wearing them, that they aren't looking at my fat thighs…Lol

    I'm so glad you did a post on the camo pants. I purchased a pair from Loft about 3 weeks ago and I LOVE them! I wore them with a black top and black booties! Thanks for giving us other options to wear with camo!

    I love the maxi dress, but wonder what people wear for a bra with it? I gave never found a comfortable strapless bra that didn't need to be adjusted all the time, which just ruins the easy-going comfort of a maxi dress.

      I have 3 of the maxi's and just wear a regular bra. Its comfy and v the dress straps are more noticeable than the bra straps.

    I have a darker pair of Camo pants that I bought at Target – Merona brand, skinny style. So cute and I love them! I'm thinking I need the lighter pair from Loft for spring and summer! The grey Converse will be added to my closet soon. I just got the Vigoss tomboy distressed jeans – LOVE!!

    Hey Shaeffer, I love the camp pants and I have a pair. I am a teacher so I have always worn them as weekend wear. Just wondering if you would wear the camp pants to work or not? I think I might give it try and pair it with a dressier shirt. What do you think???

    I think the camo pants are super cute…but I just can't bring myself to wear them. I am a transplant from CA, living in MT…and there is just too much camo here to feel like I want to wear them. Maybe when we move from here I can jump on board because…they ARE really cute!

    I have this awesome pair of camo-cargo pants that I wear at least once a week when I'm hiking. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit I've been wearing the same pants since 8th grade though! Eeek! I think it's time for a new pair to wear any day – and wow, I didn't even think you could make it look "dressy"! Thank you for all the camo inspiration! 🙂

    This is my first comment, but I have been reading your blog for a while now! You have been my personal shopping on my of my recent purchases this past fall 🙂

    I had to comment because I laughed when you said you feel a lot cooler than you are when you wear your camo pants! ha! I feel the EXACT same way! I bought a pair from H&M at the beginning of the Fall season and have only worn them a handful of times. But I definitely feel like I'm not cool enough to be wearing them, but LOVE them! Thanks for the different styling idea's!

    I also have the maxi from Nordstrom in two colors! It should be considered as a MUST HAVE! I have the cobalty blue color and LOVE it! It got me through my transition of just having a baby to getting back to my normal clothes and has worked every since! Great pc to dress up and dress down! However, I have the brighter coral color as well and its a little thin. Not near as forgiving, but still very pretty!

    I also just purchased the dainty gray chucks 🙂

    Love your blog!

    I love the lush maxis! Purchased two last year and wore them all summer long and into the fall with my denim jacket. I also made the mistake of washing one at home. Forgot to check the label because it doesn't feel like dry clean only fabric. I hung it to dry, but it shrunk and is way too small now. Definitely dry clean!!

    You look darling! I adore my camo pants, and do tend to wear them several days in a row. Must be a camo thing. What I don't love is every time I wear them to work, my boss says, 'Where'd your legs go?! I can't see them!? 😉 xo

    I picked up that pair of camp pants from Loft a week ago and walked around the store debating them because I didn't know if they would still be in this spring…darn! I should have just bought them!

    Love my Loft camo pants from last fall and I have the Loft top you are wearing. But I need a shoe option. It's way too cold to expose my ankles just yet.

    I'm a fairly new follower but OH, how I love your blog!!!! 🙂

    I bought my favorite Camo pants last Spring from CAbi… I LOVE them!! Never thought of pairing them with stripes but I just swooned when I saw you wearing the stripe top from LOFT that I bought at LOFT outlet this past November!! (Clearly, they sell things seasons after it was sold in stores :P)! Anyhoo, I will certainly be imitating your stripe and camo outfit "to a T" 🙂

    I love reading all of these comments! There are almost as much fun as your blog. I'm afraid I fall in the "I Don't Think I Can Pull These Off Camp" when it comes to the camo pants. They are adorbs on you, but I just can't see it for me… Maybe it's the geography? I'm not sure Seattle is ready for 45 year old moms to start wearing camo pants. But I'm totally warming up to the idea of the military jacket! Baby steps!
