I really didn't mean for my hair to be tousled in these pics - it was just a bit windy - but when I was looking at them, I ended up liking the tousled look for this outfit!
Confession: I haven't worn this jacket since my post here. Well, I mean, I wore it in real life that day, too, not just for the post. But my point is, it's been April of last year that this has been hanging in my closet not worn. And for why? I have no idea. I love military style jackets. I love this olive anorak jacket that On the Daily Express has. The shape of this jacket really isn't much different than that - so why can't I just freaking wear it more? I need to, definitely. And I'm glad I wore it today. In an effort to inspire me to wear this more, I put together the following alternate ways of styling this!

I'm a huge fan on tousled/bedhead-y kind of hair.....and it's so cute on you Carylee. A military vibe will always add character to any winter look!!

Thanks, Rebecca! I've def been digging the military style lately! Love pairing utilitarian + feminine!
DeleteAw, I'm so flattered. :) You look gorgeous here. I love the feminine dress mixed with the tough army jacket. (Plus, it reminds me that I want a similar black dress...must shop for that.) And your supermodel hair makes everything look great.

Super model hair! Big compliment!! Thank you so much - I love this dress and hope you can find your perfect one, too! I shall keep my eyes open!
DeleteOh my gosh, I LOVE the way you sampled it with the light purple!! And its a great addition to your dress as well! Thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteKellie @ www.ie-style.com
Yay! Glad you found some inspiration! I love brainstorming like this because it makes me motivated to wear the piece sooner rather than later!
DeleteThis makes me want to break out my camo jacket! I don't wear it enough. Love all the looks you put together!

Thanks so much, Amber! I'm happy with how this look turned out!

Thank you so much! And I know what you mean! It's still intimidating to me and I always get comments from coworkers when I wear it! But this jacket makes me happy!
DeleteLove the all black look with the jacket. And yes, you need to wear it more because it is really cute.
ReplyDeleteTracy
Thanks Tracy! I need to start pinning some looks to keep me motivated!
DeleteGreat camo jacket and the way you styled it was great because it looks more dressy. That is what is so fun about camo; it can go both ways. Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteAnything that can be dressed up and down is a winner in my book!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
that jacket is adorable. I love the gold jewelry - totally glams it up!

DeleteLove the camo and all the gold jewelry you styled with it! I also like the additional outfits you made below..I'll have to try styling it with plum. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, you should! I find myself reaching for plum to pair with prints! It's great with leopard, too!
