Bloggers Do It Better: Military Chic

I've been wanting to participate in bloggers do it better for a while now, but I kept missing every challenge! I've been basically stalking Kristina's blog (Pretty Shiny Sparkly) for the past few months now, and finally, a new bloggers do it better challenge came up a few days ago! The challenge, style up a military inspired item. I didn't really have too much to choose from in my closet. An army green t-shrit, tights and jacket were pretty much my choices. I decided to go with the jacket. 

And here are some other outfits I wore this jacket with in the past. I actually find this shade of green to be so versatile, and I wear this jacket often. The nice part is that it also has a detachable fur collar, but somehow I have not managed to photography that yet. Next time I guess.

I love all of these outfits, but especially your most recent one. You accessorized it to perfection! And it contains basically all of my favorite colors to wear. Love it. xoxo!

I really love this outfit, that pretty white skirt looks so great with the militaryesque jacket. I love the mix of masculine and feminine. With the fur and those gorgeous brown boots its perfect!

Snowww! We are supposed to be getting a pile tomorrow! I always think it looks so pretty in other people's photos, and then I remember posing in it for photos. Less fun. ;) But you look adorable, I love this outfit! Such a great jacket!

Hopped over from BDIB, I love the contrast of the jacket with the rest of your outfit, which is pretty and feminine (lace and fur). Lovely fall/winter color scheme, too. It's also fun to the other ways you've styled it.

There are so many things that I adore about this look: the arm party, the boots, great jacket, etc.

Detachable fur collar?! Even better!

I like all of the ways you've styled up this jacket!

I am worried that your box got lost along the way somewhere? Hoping against hope that it didn't and you've managed to receive it!
