IN THE {CONCRETE} JUNGLE

If you don't have a camo jacket in your closet, what exactly are you waiting for!? 

This one (from Old Navy) has stood the test of time. I've had it for several years and literally wear it with everything. This look actually came together at the very last minute. I had packed some things to wear for my shoot the next day and the plan was to wear these denim shorts (I'm gonna guess and say they're from TJ Maxx because I'm honestly not sure) with an off-the-shoulder top. I honestly didn't love the look but was so exhausted that night that I figured it would be fine. So, the next morning, I'm getting dressed for work and I'm about to put a denim jacket over my dress that I was wearing to work and I thought "wait, I should do the camo one instead." And then, a light bulb went off! What about the camo jacket with a white tank, the denim shorts and my Steve Madden red heels? Yassssss! Perfection. I love it when effortless looks just come together like that. Sometimes, when I overthink things and try on a million different options, the look seems forced and I end up going back to the original idea. Moral of the story: keep it simple. That original off-the-shoulder top with the shorts would've probably looked a little skanky and overworked. lol That's the other moral of this story. BALANCE. If you're wearing short shorts and heels, balance it out with a jacket or something longer with more coverage on top. Alright, so let me know what you think of this pairing in the comments below. I appreciate you stopping by! Have an amazing week. ;) XO - Ash

That little kid in the blue t-shirt behind me was actively trying to ruin my shoot. Living his very best summer time life in the sprinklers. I really can't be mad, I get it. lol

Don't mind my mangled knee. I fall a lot. :-/
