WIWW- Military Style

Hey there. Welcome to What I Wore Wednesday. While I do write somewhat of a fashion blog, I don’t do outfit posts everyday. On Wednesdays I post almost everything I wore that week. Hopefully it pushes me in my style and inspires you in yours.
This week I have been wearing my military jacket like crazy. Mine is pretty light weight so its perfect for the evening temperatures right now. I have styled it in three different ways.
The first way I wore it was as a third layer on top of a top and a vest. I love the pattern that the vest adds and the red jeggings with tall boots. The army style jacket added another great neutral to the outfit.

I have been inspired by a lot of looks on Pinterest lately with mustard and stripes paired. This was an easy outfit for everyday mom wear.

I went to St. Louis for a women’s conference with my mom and some friends this weekend. It was difficult to fit in any good photos throughout the fun. This is what I wore on Saturday. I love the lace ruffled top under the tougher military jacket.

Have you been wearing your maxi skirts into fall? I tried to transition this skirt with a chambray shirt and ankle boots. Kesler was my lovely assistant.

I think this may be my last time wearing these guava colored skinnies until spring. They are so bright! I toned them down with a bunch of neutrals. The striped top, military jacket and leopard print TOMS feel like fall with a pop of color from the jeans.

    You are adorable! I think you can wear those pants all year - just add dark chocolates, blacks, charcoal grey, etc

      Thanks ladies! I'll work on a tutorial soon. I followed one that I found and modified it a little. The best part about it is the fabric I found.

    Is the GAP stripe shirt you wore with the mustard pants something old? I looked on the website and didn't see it. Just wondering if you got it recently.

      I bought the GAP shirt in the spring sometime. I love how their boatnecks fit. I bet they will come out with this years version since its so classic.

    Your hair is too cute! Is it naturally thick? I'm looking for a short style and would love something similar to yours but I have fine, thin hair. I'd love your suggestions- yours always looks so cute!

    Thanks! I don't have thick hair. My stylist says that I have a normal ammount of fine hair, but if I don't work in a lot of product and style it then it falls pretty flat. There a lot of variations of this cut so I am sure your stylist could cut yours to suit your hair. I love it!

    You made that vest? Seriously? I'm a little obsessed.. make me one? That first outfit is so fall and perfect, I love it. I also love the chambray belted over the maxi, super cute.

  31. Kilee NickelsOctober 1, 2012 at 8:56 PM

    Thank you! It is really easy to take care of. The hardest part is that I have to 'do' it everyday and its not wash and wear. I either blow dry it and flat iron it, use some dry shampoo, or curl it everyday. Otherwise I wear a hat.

    In regards to present day fashion, the fitness world has created a craze of certain items such as gym tank tops and yoga pants that are worn as casual wear by many people on a daily basis, whether they attend a gym or not.
