Outfit Chronicles: A Salute to Military Style


Here's a little outfit remixing for you.  Nothing that I am wearing in this post is new, most of it is things that I have worn in previous outfit posts.  The blue shirt, the olive green jacket, the black skirt even the red bag (love my Cambridge Satchel) were featured in my older outfit posts from the warmer months.  The key to making these lighter weigh cottons work for chillier November temperatures is layering. The long sleeve oxford is layered over a t-shirt for for insulation, I am wearing some heavy duty Hue tights, long socks pulled over the tights and lace up boots.  All the layers add up to warmth and extend the wearing season of these cotton duds.  Today's outfit post is decidedly military inspired in appearance, of course I kept it cute and feminine by wearing a skirt instead of trousers.  The look was inspired by this month's Blogger's Do it Better Challenge, Military Chic, over on Pretty Shiny Sparkly.  I had fun dressing around the theme of the military look.  I started with the jacket, which is decidedly military in style and I built the outfit up from there.  I hope you enjoy, if you have a sec leave me a note about your thoughts on this look.

Bloggers Do It Better: The Arm Party


Just to clarify for those confused by the title, an "arm party" is any wrist that has been sprinkled, dabbed or doused with bobbles and bling.  The term "arm party" was originated by the very stylish and hilarious blogger, Leandra Medine, Man Repeller. This is the third BDIB post that I am participating in and I always find Kristina's (over at Pretty Shiny Sparkly) challenges a great source of inspiration.  If you are a blogger and want to BDIB bandwagon, what you waitin' for give it a go!
