Hi guys! Sitara here. I was going back and forth on what I wanted to share with you guys … should I talk about my latest favorite movie Aladdin, or the beautiful location of Wadi Rum Desert where it was filmed? The ancient town of Petra in Jordan where you can enjoy on a camel ride? But lately my biggest obsession has been fashion! It is just a part of me! I am still so inspired by the color camel and wanted to share some Spring Inspirations. I hope you find this article fun and inspiring! Here goes nothing … =)
The Rain Can Come Any Day
So it’s been raining a lot and I thought this photo was so cute and perfect for what type of weather we have been having. Who says you can’t be fashionable in the rain? This camel raincoat is everything! Find a fun pair of rainboots and you take sloppy and wet to chic in an instant. You can even find some rain boots now that look like regular boots. I got my latest pair of rain boots from target, they are black rain booties and I feel so trendy wearing them. Lesson to be learned, rain can come any day when you have the right essentials for it!
The Perfect Spring Layer
The chill spring wind has had me freezing lately … with Covid-19 happening I have been getting out with walks but realizing I wasn’t layering properly. What was I missing? A hood!! I love this idea of a casual, old school hoodie sweatshirt layered under a coat. Adding a little pattern with the plaid coat gives this casual look and fun hip vibe. Like, how “cool” (not cold) would you feel walking around with this look? All I need is my coffee to finish it up and my best girlfriend! I also love the idea of camel color in active wear. It’s fresh and new and I am really digging it! Great places to find these looks and pieces would be Zara for classic solid pieces and H&M or Zara for the coats.
For The Office
I know the world is not going into the office right now, but the next look is great for the office. A camel colored textured sweater combined with a dressier skirt, add the belt for a polished look! The shoes are closed toed, perfect for the office and your favorite crossbody bag for your essentials. Again, not needed for most right now but coming out of quarantine, you have at least one new fresh idea!
Work From Home
Ok, so since I gave you an office look, I absolutely owe you a “work from home” outfit! Perfect for spring, find your favorite spring colored tee, combine it with your favorite pair of denim and add your camel sneakers. Shoes to be worn when you are picking up your lunch from your favorite local small business. Maybe you have a beautiful backyard and you will be enjoying the sun from your backyard office, or is a time to do some gardening? Whatever your quarantine project is, I feel like this casual tee, jeans and sneaker look is a major go-to! That is, if you have the power to get out of your sweats or pajamas! The struggle is very real. This is covid-19 lifestyle at it’s finest. My friend, we are in this together!
Camel Sweaters
The next two looks are also great for Covid-19 lifestyle, cool and casual. Camel sweaters layered over a white shirt of your choice paired with denim is perfect for that zoom meeting from your living room. White sneakers are also a great casual staple, perfect for stay at home moms on the go or a casual work day at the office. I am definitely a huge fan of white sneakers cause they go with everything! Notice the different types of sweater styles you can find, here there is tighter knitted boyfriend cardigan and a looser textured v-neck, showcase your style and have fun with it.
Camel Shoes & Accessories
I spy Camel accessories! Leather backpacks are so cute and trendy, but there is so much to love about this first look. We see the camel and white combo used a different way here, a dressier white blouse with a camel skirt. She has also added a neck tie with a soft pattern for a little pop of print. The second photo is all about the camel booties! I just love how her look pulls together, here we see a printed dress, tights and boots. What do these ladies have in common besides the cute looks? They are ready for spring with those flowers! So, so lovely indeed.
This next look is so dreamy! For my next camel safari adventure trip I have been looking for light, breathable fabrics. This shirt would be perfect! In this photo it’s styled more for a cute lunch out with the girls. The blush pink color of the slides are so pretty and just to die for. I also love the feminine girly touch of the bow. Add your camel color accessories for a finished look! Where could you find pieces similar to these? Try Target’s “A New Day” brand or Nordstrom.
Resort Look
Shelter-In has me dreaming of my next trip around the world. This time not a Camel safari but maybe a trip to my favorite resort. Camel is chic, sexy and combined with black accessories has “fancy resort” written all over it! There are so many ways to wear this look, a silk pleated skirt with dressy sandals, or maybe with a pair of skinny jeans with your favorite black stiletto heels. Are we there yet?!
I hope you have enjoyed these looks and are inspired to rock camel during quarantine or after. Remember, just cause everything is cancelled right now, doesn’t mean your style has to be. Take care of yourself, getting dressed up is healthy for you and rejuvenates your soul! Camel here I come! To see more camel inspired looks, click here.
Till next time!
