Listen up, girls. I know this might blow your mind, but did you know CAMO IS A NEUTRAL??! Yep, you heard me! Camo goes with everything and you pretty much need to get **something** camo in your wardrobe this spring!!

I'll share a little secret--a loooong time ago, I wanted to be in the military. Yep, full on. I was ready to sign up and be shipped off to wherever they took me. CLEARLY, that didn't happen and although I won't go into the nitty gritty about what made me change my mind, I will tell you that I have a very warm and fuzzy place in my heart for camo. I mean, I liked camo before it was COOL! (because I'm super un-cool like that). But camo is cool now, so I can finally come out of my camo closet!! Yipppeee!! #soliberating

Camo may scare you (totally normal), but I think clothing retailers are starting to tone it down a bit to make it more mainstream. My absolute favorite pair of pants right now are these "soft green" camo ones from Loft:

Heaven. Not only are they super soft and amazingly comfy...they go. with. EVERYTHING. I'm telling you, camo is a neutral!! Check out all ways you can wear these pants!!! And just a note, I created about 10 more outfits other than these when I was playing around, but the collage looked "cooler" with just 6 (b/c you know I'm cool like that!!) :)

Way to Wear Camo #1 ~ With bright colors! Camo and bright colors go hand in hand! Think coral, hot pink and cobalt blue.

Way to Wear Camo #2 ~ With black. This one is obvious, and I love it! A nice black blouse and heels would dress the pants up and make a perfect going-out outfit!! My outfit is just a black tee and flats and it made a great everyday, errands type outfit. Super comfy!! You know "comfy" is my middle name :)

Way to Wear Camo #3 ~ With a grey or white tee. Again, this is an obvious one but another of my faves. This look is perfect with a jean jacket and my beloved Converse. It would also look awesome paired with a cute, white graphic tee.

Way to Wear Camo #4 ~ With mustard or yellow. I'm telling you, almost every color paired with camo looks great! Mustard/yellow is no exception!

Way to Wear Camo #5 ~ With stripes! Don't be scared of pattern-mixing! Stripes may not be obvious to pair with camo but it totally works!! I think are stripes a neutral, too but that's another post :)

Way to Wear Camo #6 ~ With blush, pink or pastels. Again, not so obvious but I really love pairing the slightly "edgy" camo with a soft color.

Are you brave enough to try camo pants??? My Curvy Skinny Loft pants are nearly sold out, but there are some in petite sizes. They run on the big side so I would size down. They are also supposed to be "cropped" ankle pants--I am 5'4" and got the regular (non petite) size and you can tell the are a great length, just not "cropped." Below are a few more options. If camo totally scares you, you can also wear any of the above looks with just plain cargo-green jeans or pants!

Land's End Slim Leg Muted Camo Pants

Sanctuary Relaxed Stretch Twill Pants (limited sizes)

Union Bay Camo Cropped Pants

Loft Skinny Cargo Pants
