While our weather stays hot and humid, fall pieces from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale keep rolling in. I’ve been on the hunt for a cute casual jacket and fell in love with the look of this camo utility jacket when it popped up in the sale. It’ll be perfect for a cool fall day–when that time actually arrives!
I had to laugh when I saw one of the bloggers that I follow featuring the same jacket! Not just the jacket, but the casual booties I ordered, too! So today’s look will mirror the same outfit shown in Cindy Spivey’s post, a blogger who has a gazillion followers and has been blogging for a long time. You can see her styling the same outfit in the post.
Camo Utility Jacket
I have been wanting to add a camo jacket to my wardrobe, just for fun, so when I saw this camo utility jacket with the adorable knit hood, I decided to order it from the sale. The jacket fabric is a stretch-cotton and the detachable pink hood gives it a cool layered look that can be removed for more classic styling. A twofer!!
Here are some of the details:
- Front snap closure
- Removable drawstring hood
- Snap cuffs
- Chest flap pockets; front patch pockets
- Internal drawcord waist
- 97% cotton, 3% spandex
- Machine wash, tumble dry (Love that, don’t you?!)
Best of all, the jacket is from one of Nordstrom’s own lines–Caslon. These pieces are always quality items at reasonable prices, so it’s worth considering adding them to your wardrobe, especially when they are on sale.
There are so many colors that look fabulous with camo. Here, the pink color really pops against the olive camo pattern. It’s the olive-as-a-neutral thing, once again. I’ve seen it styled with red, too, and it looks amazing!
The jacket also comes in a pretty “faded coral” color with a white knitted hood, and it’s cute, too. At the sale price of $59, it’s a great deal for a basic piece with a twist.
The Camo Utility Jacket Outfit
The rest of the outfit is super casual and features the kind of things we all wear every day for casual wear: jeans and a tee. The jeans are the same old Wit and Wisdom Ab-Solution Skinny Jeans you’ve seen before (a favorite as they are so comfortable!).
The white tank top is from Loft. It’s only available in Large, which fits like a Medium. It’s marked WAY down!
These Caslon booties are almost sold out! I tried to get a pair last year at the sale and they sold out before I could get them, so I’m glad to finally have a pair! I believe they will be restocked after the sale so the price will be a bit higher, but they are still worth it for a comfortable pair of sneaker/booties.
Here is a similar pair of perforated wedge booties, on sale and still available, in a soft blush color that would also work well for fall.
Bottom line: if you like this camo utility jacket or any of the other items on sale, order them right away! The Nordstrom Sale ends August 31st and prices go back up. Happy shopping!
Darlene, this is such a great jacket! I added a few different styles of camo jackets over the years and I love them all! I love the contrasting hood and these jeans look amazing on you!

Gotta love camo, right? I know you have some great jackets, Shelbee. I was ready for a camo jacket and realized I didn’t actually have one! Lol! Have a great week.

I really need a camo jacket after seeing yours! The colors look great with the pale pink. The bootees are cute too but I don’t think they would cope with all our rain! Thanks for joining #WowOnWednesday
I believe they are water-resistant but that probably won’t work for you guys! Lol! The touch of pink really gave the jacket a different look, to be sure. Thanks, Gail. I hope your weekend is going well!

I was just looking at that jacket on the website! It really is just so darn cute. Love the way you styled it with the wedge sneakers. XOXO
I really didn’t need this just yet with our temps in the 80s but as you say, it’s so darn cute! Lol! Such a great buy, I just couldn’t pass it up! Happy Thursday, Lisa!

You look fab in this outfit, it really suits you. I have a sleeveless camo jacket that will get some wear soon as our evenings get a bit cooler here on the Black Sea.
Hi, Lise! Good to hear from you! Ooh, there are so many ways to wear a sleeveless camo jacket! Thanks for weighing in. I hope you are having a great week!

Well, I will just have to copy your outfit when it cools off a little! I am waiting for that exact jacket to come in the mail. It’s been shipped and waiting… I have a similar pair of wedge sneakers from last year and of course jeans and a white tee!

Haha! Of course, you do!! We all seem to gravitate toward the same items. That’s because the items or so cute and/or we have such good taste!! Lol! I can’t wait to see it on you. It’s so cute! I don’t know if you noticed, but I was starting to sweat under those jeans and jacket! The perils of blogging on a hot summer day.

Lovely jacket, very cool too. I love camo the best with pink!
I think I do now, too! Although it also looks so good with red! Thanks, Nancy. Have a great week!
