How to Wear Camo Pants

Julianne Hough's camo pants and graphic tee look for less is a cute and casual look to try.
Julianne Hough looked edgy yet effortless in her camo skinny jeans, graphic "C'est La Vie" t-shirt and black accessories while traveling through LAX.

This look is actually a couple years old but I think the styling is still on-point for today. I've updated the tee with a "Fashion stole my smile" t-shirt which Victoria Beckham recently wore (and is currently sold out) - but knockoffs abound!

Then I linked up the most perfect pair of camo pants under $30 at Target, a cozy neutral cardigan and all the finishing touches from aviators to ankle boots that never seem to go out of style.

A couple readers have alerted me to the fact that there's a lot of Victoria Beckham for Target on clearance online and in stores.

I popped into T.J.Maxx yesterday to run a quick errand with the kiddos and saw they have all their summer entertaining stuff out already, from beach blankets to picnic coolers and more.

I love this combination for a cute and casual summer look! In fact, I've been wearing my camo tee from Target (just $12.99!) with white jeans and nude/tan accessories myself (see my look here).

Whether you go sporty with white track pants, or casual with white shorts, you really can't go wrong with this on-trend way to wear a camo t-shirt!

Nicky Hilton's Camel Coat and Converse Sneakers Look for Less

Nicky Hilton wears a camel coat and white Converse while out and about in New York City.
Yesterday was downright frigid here in Connecticut, so Nicky Hilton's camel coat and Converse is definitely seasonally appropriate.

The star kept warm while out and about in New York while harkening to spring with her lighter wash skinny jeans and on-trend white sneakers.

You could either pull your wool coat out of hibernation to recreate this look, or update it for spring with a must-have classic trench coat instead.

All my finds are under $50, including Nicky's shoes, so I added a "splurge" handbag because it's way less that her designer bag and totally worth the investment to elevate all your outfits!

Did you know Amazon has its own private fashion labels? I'm putting Lark & Ro, Ella Moon, Paris Sunday and Scout + Ro on my radar.

I love the Olsen twins but had to laugh when I read Tom + Lorenzo's assessment of their recent Met Gala looks (mostly the part about the Bolsheviks).

I keep forgetting to tell you guys! You can earn triple points at Nordstrom now through May 7. Perfect time to get those Mother's Day gifts. Also, I'm eying these sandals for myself. And these denim shorts are in my cart.
