Military Chic

 It's that time again!  I've joined up with the Bloggers Do It Better movement to show you what I think is Military Chic.


Today's outfit features a jacket that, while maintains a structured look, fits and feels like a sweater! I also get to debut my Sam Edelman over the knee boots, which I purchased for a steal at Nordstrom Rack.  Why I never shopped at Nordstrom Rack until now, I will never understand.


Underneath the jacket is a sweater dress, that I featured in this Für Elisse post, called "Haute Cloche".  I just wanted to give a slight pop of color, and not take away from the button detailing of both the jacket and the boots!


 There's a bit of slouch at the ankle, but overall, these boots fit me very well.  I'm also digging the belt/buckle detailing!



Jacket: vintage; Sweater Dress: H&M; Tights: purchased in Sicily; Boots: Sam Edelman

Is there anything military chic in your closet?

    aside from that shotgun tucked in the corner of my closet, there's no military items! lol i like the look the you have here, maybe because it's all black with a pop of color so it's not so overdone. not a fan of lots of studs and buttons, but i like your jacket.

    Very cool jacket! I don't think I own anything as military as that actually, although I did in the past.

    Military chic is one of my favorite looks. I love the tough edge that it gives feminine pieces.

    Love the jacket with the boots - I don't really have anything military inspired so didn't take part of the challenge, but love seeing others that are!
