Military Inspired Clothing

Some military details I love, but some are ugly. Everyone either loves or hates the olive green color seen in the pictures below. Many women love the flap pockets and golden buttons, while others like more feminine and pretty details. Let me know what you think in the comments!

The balmain jackets are very broad shouldered with the pads and double breasted buttons. They can make a petite girl look really wide and clunky!

Also where is the line drawn between costume and clothing?

You can dress the military inspired jacket up or down. Create a super casual look with some jeans and boots, maybe over a floral ruffled shirt of your choosing. Your favorite print can go with this color since it is a neutral. In the Teen Vogue shoot, the stylist chose to pair the green trench coat with a leapard print and an oxford shirt. Try to pair it with brown leather leggings! Mix different trends.

Do you like the olive green colored jackets or pants? I personally believe the color is very ugly. It is a mixture of camel with dark green and creates the ugly military color.

On the other hand, it is a neutral that can go with everything, it was seen all over the fall runways and stars like Beyonce were found sporting it. She paired an army green jacket with a gray tee shirt and cropped camo pants.

How to wear it?

Military clothing is not just olive green dresses or jackets. All you need to do is add a touch of something that looks military inspired such as buttons, chains, and structured collars! A very sexy and chic look is a black military dress or long trench coat with a pair of black boots to match. Another great option is camel! These can all be military inspired!

What to look for:

• Brass buttons
• Navy
• Cargo pockets
• Pleating
• Belt loops

• Double-breasted front
• Flap Pockets
• Zipper detailing
• Cuff sleeves
• Army Green

“Military details have been always around, but not always as obvious as at this moment — with all the feminine details that have been extremely popular recently, it’s the perfect time to layer in that ‘boy’ element.”~Marissa Webb, J.Crew’s vice president of women’s design

Slippers or Shoes?

Hi Readers!

Sorry for the late post! I will be posting a new one over the weekend hopefully too!

Enjoy 🙂

I think many of you know what I am talking about. Maybe it’s just where I live that people are very laid back and lazy about what they wear. I mean one time I saw a girl walk to the store in pajamas! Come on! Leave the pajamas at home guys!! And please, the slippers too. It is a known fact that you can be comfy but at the same time still fashionable. But I am not getting into clothes today I want to discuss shoes. I was at the mall about a week ago and I noticed a girl walking around in blue fuzzy/crazy slippers. Really?! Why is it so hard to wear normal shoes guys? I wear boots all winter long and I am very happy and comfy in them, while other girls wear slippers or Uggs all winter long and also are very comfy. Obviously, I am happy you are comfy, but slippers are meant for home! Shoes that are meant to be worn outside are just as comfy but way more stylish and cute!! Lets look at what I mean.

Stylish black boots vs Ugly black slippers. What would you wear? 😉

The shoes on the right are a lot nicer and prettier for going out. Their shapes are similar but the shoes on the right are too slipper like and “Pocahontas” for me.

Again you can wear a shoe much more pretty and flattering then a Ugg slipper. Show some fashion sense people! If you are concerned about cold weather then wear a leather boot!

Thank you so much for reading!

Crazy Yet Stylish Sunglasses

I am not talking about party sunglasses with money signs in the middle. I am talking about the stylish lady gaga type sunglasses that made their way down runways this season. I think it is fun to play around with your sunglasses. I love the funky shapes and bold colors. Although I do recognize that these shades are not for everyone, owning at least one pair of wacky shades is fun! You might be surprised when you fall in love with your wild sunglasses. Who knows when you might feel like wearing them?

Trends That I Love:

• Round/circular
• Shaded in with a color
• Different prints and patterns
• Cat eye
• Bold Colored
