05102014 – Army Green and Pink

Style / May 10, 2014

Over the weekend I paired my rediscovered army green utility jacket and finally figured out a way to wear it to fit correctly (I purchased this jacket years ago off a sale rack and never wore it because it was just a size too big) Keep reading to see more photos of this outfit and shopping ideas inspired by it!

So when I first found this jacket I fell in love with it… so much that I picked it despite it being a size too big.  I figured, I would find a way to make it work.  Years later I finally did!  This outfit is pretty simple really.  Here’s what I’m wearing:

  • Utility Jacket (Old Navy)
  • White T-Shirt (Mossimo)
  • Turkish Coin Necklace (F21)
  • Harness Belt (BCBG)
  • Pink and Navy spotted Circle Skirt (F21)
  • Black Tutu Skirt (American Apparel)
  • Watch (Michael Kors)
  • Converse Sneakers

I always wear my harness belt with everything so it was only a matter of time that I would figure out it would help give the illusion of a perfect fit with this jacket. Only downside is taking off the jacket while out and about is kind of a pain, luckily the weather was just right to keep the jacket on all day.

I’ve been obsessed with fluffy and circle skirts lately.  In my Brands and Bloggers outfit, I even paired this American Apparel Tutu under the skirt to give it a fuller effect.  Throwing it under this circle skirt felt and looked natural to the outfit.  Obligatory twirl of course!

During my NYC trip, I paired this jacket and shirt combo with a pair of skinny jeans and combat boots since it wasn’t THAT warm out and there was a bit of rain on Saturday but for the Sam Adams event, this past week, the skirt was just the perfect match for the spring temps.

My little man made a deal with me towards the end of shooting this outfit… we shook paws on him joining in for his fashion shot.
