I am such a city girl. I mean…really and truly, I am a city girl (who is married to a boy from a farm).
I grew up in Dallas, I don’t own cowboy boots, I learned to drive by locating the different malls around our metroplex, and I would never camp. Ever. That being said, this city girl has a new found love for camouflage.
I’ve been telling you about my new Camo Toms for about a month now. I saw them online and pre-ordered them because oh.my.heavens. they looked fabulous! And then they arrived last week…
…as soon as I ripped open the box and put them on my feet, I texted this picture to Sheaffer. She had two responses…first, she said they were so cute and it was my job to educate the world on how to wear them, and second, she said she was ordering her a pair right away.
Let’s get a few things straight around here…I wear heels every day. I am that mom. I am the one who takes her kid to dance, goes grocery shopping, and waits in the post office line in 4 inch heels.
However, if there so rises an occasion when I need a pair of flats, I need a good pair! I want a pair that is comfy, that looks cute, that doesn’t break the bank, that will hold up to running after my kids, walking a lot, and doesn’t look grungy after I’ve been in the rain or walking through dirt at the park…I need the perfect pair. And I think I’ve found them. Because of their camo print, they are going to look great even if they get a little (or a lot) dirty. Plus, they will go with everything all year long.
Let me show you some examples of what I think would look great with my new Camo Toms…
Yes. You must educate the world. When I read that you were going to be styling them with stripes and red accents, I literally thought "GENIUS!" The pictures really don't do those camo TOMS justice. They are SO FLIPPING CUTE! And that camo jacket? I'm dying over it. Dying.
Question on the TOMS….I really want to purchase a pair, do you wear them withOUT socks? I know this is a little TMI but do your feet get sweaty? Thanks!
I worried about the same thing! Put a little baby powder in your TOMS and problem solved!

Sorry, just doesn't do it for me at all. I live in the country and camo is reserved for rednecks and hunters. It actually is a piece of clothing that states that. I love your style and choices USUALLY (lol) burt this one is just a big miss.
Gals, get some no show socks for your Toms! Keeps them fresh and clean. You can just google "no show socks for Toms" and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I've never owned a pair of TOMS (I am also a heel girl although I've had to kind of change my ways since the kids have been born) but those are so stinking cute. You girls are going to break the bank…I swear I buy everything Sheaffer posts (I just ordered the black jacket) and now you too! My poor husband. Anyway, they look SO adorable on you!
I picked up some camo flats on clearance from Target recently and I love them! They are such a neutral! I have paired them with dress pants, shorts, jeans, etc. I can't wait to see what else they will go with in the Fall and Winter š
I have to agree with the previous poster. I'm from CO and I only see camo on my brothers and their friends, when they go hunting…and I'm already sick of it. And I live close to the first Cabela's in the Denver metro area. š
I grew up in the country but I am such a city girl. I don't own cowboy boots, I will never go camping, fishing or hunting, and I detest bugs. I am so accustomed to seeing camo on country boys that I have never been interested in wearing it. Until now. You and Sheaffer make it look girly and cute. Oh my. I am considering purchasing camo….
My aunt gave me all these perfume samples from sephora that she has been collecting (she's a sephora junkie) and my very favorite that I have worn all summer is flowerbomb and I had just decided I was going to buy some. I had never even heard of it before.
And I just bought those camo jeans from Gap. I'm not a country girl although I LOVE cowboy boots. Scott is such a country boy but thankfully he hates camping as much as I do. But I do think a little touch of camo is cute!
You're officially responsible for my first Toms purchase! I'm on vacation in San Antonio, found the nearest Nordstrom & scooped them up! Can't wait to wear them back in Va Beach!

Yes, you wear them without socks! Just don't smell them and you should be fine ;).
Thanks for the giveaway.. Camo is a great look this fall and winter, totally into it. Ha!

I love the Camo TOMS. I might have to buy myself a pair. I basically live in TOMS anyway. Loving the outfits too!
I'm considering those camo pants from gap!! What other options would you do for a top? Grey or navy? Do you think burnt orange would be crazy?

You make a good case for the camo Toms, but living in a military town with a ridiculous amount of camo, I'm not sure I could pull it off! š
I had to share this with you! I heard you can unlock the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks if you say a code to your barista! http://queenbeecoupons.com/starbucks-pumpkin-spice-latte-returns-early-with-special-promo-code/

TOMS are my favorite! I love the camo.
