My regular readers know I love incorporating trends into my personal style.
One Saturday my husband suggested we go shopping. (Yay!) And then he added that he needed to shop for new work pants. (Oh well.) The store didn’t have too much for me to look at. I did spend a bit of time trying on Doc Martens. A pair of tall oxbloods almost came home with me! Then I spotted a wall of bandanas and remembered how Amy Ann of Straight A Style had been rocking this trend lately.
Exhibit A …
Exhibit Straight A!
So, of course I slipped a bandana into my hubby’s pile of work pants.
I styled my new black and white bandana with a striped tee shirt, utility vest, distressed Joe’s Jeans, and booties. I added my fav new sunglasses too, Illesteva Leonard II in red and tortoise.
So what do you think of the trend?

Cathy of Bay Area Fashionista looks street-style chic! (Of course I can’t be totally unbiased .. I did take the pic!)
TGIF, Dolls!
Time for a whole new Friday full of fun and fashion!

Gah, Dawn Lucy! I just got so excited that you styled a bandana! Because I also just posted a bandana outfit, too! Mine is camouflage and inspired by the camo collab by Sheela, Eve, and Jodie! I am loving this trend! And you look adorable.

Awww .. thanks so much for linking up, Catherine! Can't wait to see you style your red bandana. <3
Lovely usage of The Bandana! I threw away handfuls of them years ago thinking they had a flashdance/redneck vibe, only to find myself ordering them again recently (eye roll). I love them, and I love what a bandana brings to an outfit.
Dawn, you look amazing in yours, and if I'm allowed to say this, it actually looks quite sexy on you! xx
Oh of course you're allowed to say it … this old gal doesn't hear it too much anymore! ;P And I've given away so many things that have come back in style. Like 2 years ago I gave away the cutest cold shoulder top thinking that trend was as a dead as a doornail. I was SO wrong! Sigh!!
Love this look!!
Jaymie
Thanks Jaymie! 🙂

I've been wearing mine too–funny because my fave one is pink, and when I was trying to link a similar colored one–there are none to be found!

A tall gal like you with a long neck can easily sport a bandana and look so stylish. Love the color combo (similar to my post from last week). Are you sure you don't want to go back and get the Doc Martins? ? Thanks for hosting and starting off the weekend.
