military vest and bright blue shoes

finally got to wear my new blue beauties that I got from Elizabeth, shoe designer for L.A.M.B. and Charles Jourdan. as promised I paired them with something green. i just love this color combination green and blue. I'm also on the hunt for something burgundy and neon yellow. thats the new color combo...if you havent heard. lol.

Dress: TOP SHOP get similar here and here | Military Vest: ZARA sold out get similar here
Shoes: L.A.M.B. Italia D'orsays c/o L.A.M.B. | Bag: Remi & Emmy c/o Rebecca Minkoff
Watch: Casio | Ring: Mango Bowset Ring | Lipstick: NARS Heat Wave

the military trend is in full effect and i love it. especially since i am a die hard fan of the color green. i seriously went green crazy this past weekend picking up this top from Top Shop and this shirt and skirt from American Apparel. All of which are various shades of green. not to mention this military top i rocked a few post ago. my whole wardrobe will slowly turn green. anywho so i've been getting my outfits together for New York Fashion Week. Yes...i know its 2.5 months away but i can't help myself. i am in love with fashion and this blog and im not ashamed! but i just realized that the 5 outfits i put together all have green lol. i will be the green bean during fashion week. haha.

military inspired

with Fleet Week as my inspiration when i was putting this outfit together I knew exactly what I wanted...tough yet dainty.
I love the structure of the top and that its crisp and defined paired with the softness of the
 sheer pleated shorts. I think the combination worked out well for a great overall look.

Top: Son of John via Loehmanns | Shorts: Top Shop get similar here 
Shoes: Michael Kors Heath via Loehmanns |Bag: Zara Studio Clutch Bag | Ring: Urban Outfitters
this top is one of my favorites. I keep finding new ways to wear it. i've also being itching to wear these shorts again...finally its hot enough to wear shorts and my new Michael Kors Slingbacks.
I've definitely gotten more into pointy toed shoes. they died out for about half a second and then BAM were super popular again. I've also noticed that designers are into making chunky shorter heels now. I'm not really into that trend at all. The higher the heel the better but I have noticed I have more and more heels under 4 inches which is short for me. lol. I like to feel like a giant when I'm in the room and most times I can see clear over everyones head. lol. somehow I managed to get off topic...anywho..presto..this is the outfit of the day! military inspired tops and vest are making a huge comeback this summer and I like it!
ps..i wearing very tiny biker shorts underneath to keep the world from seeing my bum.
