What could a southern utah girl that wears camo possibly know about fashion....


Why do I  have a fashion blog... I ask myself this a lot.   I am not an expertise on the subject by any stretch of the imagination. I am also busy.  As a stay at home mom and mother of five very involved children and a wife of an extremely busy husband, there really isn't a lot of time.  And what time I do have, not doing laundry and dishes I am volunteering in some school, sport, or PTA facet.  And besides, what could I possibly know about this subject?  I live in Southern Utah- don't they all wear camo there anyways? And to top it off, I am over forty too!

I was quite entertained by a  fashion column in the Wall Street Journal last week.  The writer Meenal Mistry listed her fashion resolutions for 2016.  They were as follows: l.  I will stop being a fashion know it all- I will loose my fashion rigidity and be open to fashion that isn't a 100% cashmere 2.  I will let- nay, encourage- myself to make a mistake.  I will let my fashion be fun and even a little messy.  3.  I will stop shunning the low-price fast fashion at Zara and H&M.  I will seek creative workaround beyond the $3,000 blazer.  4.  My next piece of tailoring will be made bespoke.  Mistry assured herself she could get a blazer tailor made for  less than $3,000.  5.  Instead of the blazer splurge, maybe I will biy a mall piece of jewelry.  She goes on to say that who is she kidding at 32 weeks, her budget calls for onesies, exsersaucers, and a great nanny.

So  Meenal Mistry here is my list of fashion resolutions for 2016

l. Find a cashmere sweater at Poser's Place
2. I will make many fashion mistakes.  My fashion will be fun and messy.  I will play with fashion's, textures and colors
3.  I will embrace the fashion of H&M and I will go to a Zara store in a mall if ever I leave Southern Utah.
4. I will buy a blazer for under $30.  It will probably be vintage though.
5.  My husband will buy me a nice piece of jewelry and I will be the nanny!

Don't worry forty is fun... follow us at KEPT this year I promise to take the camo off once in a while! (warning to reader- content is rated 40- for mature!)

Oh yeah... in case you are in the market for camo here's what I'm wearing....
everything camo.....
