Someone who has always walked a fine line between being an admirable mentor and ruining my life once instructed me to add deer hunting as an interest on my resume. Whether he really thought it would be an interesting talking point for an interview or was hoping that I would humiliate myself, I'll never know. Either way, hunting is definitely not an interest of mine. Sportsmanlike style, however, has always seemed to peak my interest. Not surprisingly, the first and only time I accompanied my dad on a deer-hunting trip, I was far more concerned with my outfit than the game. Choosing to forego the traditional orange attire, I wore my matching neon pink jacket and snow pants and carried an equally bright "handbag" filled with a thermos of hot cocoa, a rubix cube and a box of Girl Scout cookies. (editor's note: I was in the fourth grade.) Neon colors and Thin Mints aside, I've found traditional English hunting clothes quite inspiring lately. The vests at Rag&Bone and Boy by Band of Outsiders for Fall 2010 are incredible layering pieces, and who doesn't love plaid? In anticipation of the Fall trend, here are some hunting inspired pieces to start mixing into your wardrobe:

What Are You Wearing?
Today's schedule required a versatile look. A day at Atticus, a networking Happy Hour and a long awaited dinner party with some friends were on tap. I needed a comfortable outfit to get me through a long day that was appropriate for a professional event, yet fun for tonight's get together and whatever might occur after. After trying on 23498578 looks and destroying my closet, this was the end result:-Tights
-Knee Socks
-Frye Engineer Boots

The Justification: Things that will make you feel warm...and no, this isn't a post on snuggling up with boys.
Justification #1: This turtleneck is soft, versatile and the banding on the bottom gives it extra detail to stand out.
Justification #1: This wool blend sweater vest is so cozy you'll want to sleep in it...trust me!
Justification #2: Plus, you can dress it up or down

The Justification: Sick Day
Sister Wild infected me this morning with some sort of sinus meltdown. So here are my picks for when all you want to do is wear something cozy and blow your nose.
Justification #1: This ultra comfy thermal comes in three different colors.
Justification #2: So even though you may feel like someone punched you in the face, you still can color coordinate your outfit.
Justification #1: For all you people who can't handle wearing bright colors like me-this shirt's a good way to ease into wearing something different without looking like a stop sign!
Justification #2: Plus, after going through a half of a box of kleenex, your shirt and nose will match.
Justification #1: Boys...don't think I forgot about you! Even if you have to be out and about, at least you'll look good for the ladies while still being comfortable!

Nerd
I've never seen a more geek chic man in all my life.

Top off the look with a handcrafted twine hair bow. Because really, who actually has the hair to do that?
Lumberjack
Please don't walk into the bars carrying an ax and a giant saw as props. And if you do, please don't tell them I suggested it. I'm too cute for jail.

Cheap Thrills
Trovata Angel CoatRegular Price $396
Sale Price $198
Everyone loves a good deal, and deals are just that much sweeter when you don't have to search for them. Leave the sifting through sale racks and digging through discount bins to us. We'll tell you when we find a steal that's simply too good to pass up.

The Justification: Back to School Outfits
Presenting my perfect 1st day of school outfit...unfortunately, it doesn't include my Barbie and the Rockers lunchbox and backpack.
Justification #1: I'm in love.
Justification #2: I think the outfit, not the books, makes me look studious.
Sorry it's a spontaneous photo shoot picture of me, but you get the idea of how amazing this outfit is together. Not all of the merchandise has been photographed yet but it will be up on the site by early next week for your enjoyment! (And yes, I know I already did an Ode to Wang, but this piece is new, cool and I'm obsessed)
Since I'm dreading going back to school this week, I might as well present the couple things that are keeping me from slipping into depression.
Justification #1: Ashley Watson bags are made from leather jackets and are big enough to fit my millions of books for school.
Justification #2: We also carry bags that the guys will love. They're so unisexy.
Right now, I'm having an internal conflict deciding between the Brant in Butter and the Teal in Olive.
So, my suggestion is that someone buys one of those two and make my mind up for me!
Justification #1: They're comfortable, versatile, and the zipper makes them flattering since people look at that and not your thighs.
Prepare to see me in leggings pretty much everyday, fellow Edgewoodies.
Kova&T Monks Dress
Justification #1: Since this dress is just a little too short on it's own, my new favorite idea is making leggings into biker shorts! It makes not wearing pants a little less risque. (Probably not with a pair from Atticus though...they're way too good to destroy!)

The Justification: This One's for the Boys
My pick for the taken guy
Justification #1: Comes in four colors...you're guaranteed to look good in at least one.
Plus, your girlfriend will love you even more when she's the one wearing it!
#2: Or, for the price of one meal together, you can buy her one of her own.
I'm completely serious about this Thermal post...this is my not so subtle hint that I would like one of my own.
My pick for the single guy
Standard button down with a modern twist. Plus, it's on sale!
Justification #1: Serious epaulettes to impress the new girl's parents
Justification #2: Fun epaulettes that show your impeccable style to another new girl when the parents don't approve.
