When styling a military-inspired piece, I like the keep the rest of the outfit feminine. Yes, the vest already has the bling on the color, but I don’t want it to come off as if I’m going on safari!
When choosing a top to go under the vest, I like to take cues from the gemmed collar. This serene blue-green really compliments the blue gem and I love it paired with the army green.
As for the jeans, I’ve been lusting over them for so long and just loved how they paired with the top. I like how they’re not too busy, but take things up a notch.
I’m having a flirtation with booties this week as I’m considering finally picking up a pair, so I decided to see what they’d look like with the rest of the outfit and loved it, so maybe this is the extra push I need to go for the booties! What do you guys think? Are you all for short booties?

Where to Wear: Coffee Shop, Class, Casual Date-Night, First Fridays in Phoenix.

I seriously love bright colors. Especially when they’re unexpected! Maybe this skirt does remind me of a banana a little bit, but I still really love it! I think of army green as a neutral. It’s so fun to play up with bright colors! This is definitely a look for when you want to stand out and make a statement. Plus, the shoes are absolutely fab.

Where to Wear: Club, art gallery openings (because I go to so many), night out on the town.

I can’t tell you exactly what I’m trying to accomplish with this look, I just like the quirkiness of it. Harem pants have somehow seized my heart on casual days, even though I loathe low crotch pant. And yes, these shoes have showed up once again.. I’m quite tempted to actually get them! I mean, every girl needs a pair of strappy heels, right?!
I’ve been pairing stripes with my vest a lot. I don’t know what it is about stripes, but I just love em’, especially with this olive color.

Where to wear: Date night, Sunday brunch in the city, night art festivals, a normal day.

How would you guys style this vest? I wanna see and hear about it! Comment below with your ideas!
