MILITARY Trend Gone Chic

Military inspired looks. Dive Into Them. Let them surround you. Why???
because this is an easy to pull off and awesome trend that keeps repeating itself and you might as well because I said so. lol. no but seriously. join the bandwagon. the grass really is greener over here.
Bracelet: ASOS skinny cross bracelet | Skirt: Mini Tulip Skirt only $17 fashion STEELE!
Sunnies: Urban Outfitters only $14!

the best way to work a military top/jacket/or vest is to make everything else super girlie.
i'm talking lace, pumps, and pretty tulip skirts like this one that less than $20 freakin bucks! add a large envelope clutch and you are ready for a night out on the town with the girls or a first date! check out how a rocked a military style top here and vest here!

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.
