Trend: Military Style.

Lately, I have to stop and look at every military-style jacket I see.
Not because I need another jacket, but because for some reason I am utterly fascinated by the trend.
It's a foolproof way to add edge to any look, and there are endless outfit possibilities. Not to mention all the options for buckles, buttons, colors, and lengths!

From the Urban Outfitters Instagram.

I love the subtle leather detailing on this jacket, and how it toughens up even the girliest of floral dresses.

Another great version is this funky, button-adorned jacket! I think it adds a lot of character to this outfit, and the green-on-green palette is to die for.

And lastly, if Beyonce is rocking it, you know it's good. Leave it to Queen B to take this style and make it even better. Not only is this a military-style jacket, it's pink leather military-style jacket. I bow. 

As you can tell, I'm a huge fan of this look and I hope it has a long shelf-life in the fashion world. How do you feel about this trend? Here to stay, or not so great? 

Thanks for reading!

H&M top, Forever 21 jeans. Thrifted shoes, Urban Outfitters jacket, thrifted beanie.

One of the things I love most about fall is that there are endless layering possibilities. I usually end up in jeans and a simple top, trusting in my shoes and outerwear to make the statements. These floral, tapestry-style flats are a favorite of mine-- and for $4, a serious bargain. I got the jacket on clearance during my very first Urban Outfitters visit in San Diego this last June. It was originally $99, and I got it for $19! 

You'll find I very rarely buy things new unless they are on sale-- the shirt was $10 on sale at HM, and the jeans were $8 at Forever 21. All together, my entire outfit was under $50!

Inspiration.

Hello! I've been absent for a little bit, and haven't gotten any outfit pictures taken so I thought I'd share a few of my favorite trends. I've been seeing these on blogs and Pinterest a lot lately, so I'm sure you'll be familiar with them!

 1. Crop tops! The best thing about these cut-off tops is that they definitely help keep you cool in the scorching summer months. I haven't been able to find one I'm completely in love with on myself, but Forever 21 has a huge selection and I'm very tempted to go try a few on this week! I don't think you have to be stick-skinny to rock this trend, but if you're conscious of showing your belly, just pair the short shirt with a pair of high-waisted shorts, or a maxi skirt!

2. Pointy-toed flats. Chic, flattering, and a statement in and of themselves. What more could you need? From what I've seen, this shape tends to make anyone's legs look long and shapely! I think they look amazing with distressed boyfriend jeans, personally, but you can pair them with just about any outfit! 

3. Leather sleeves on an army jacket. What an amazing contrast of materials and textures. Paired with a girly white dress, it's the perfect juxtaposition of tough and sweet. Need need need.

4. Floral anything. You name it. I am a sucker for a pretty print. One of my walls has about 30 vintage floral postcards on it, and I have tank tops, shoes, skirts, and even nail files in floral prints. So it's no surprise that when I see shoes like these: 

 or a t-shirt like this: 

I can't help but drool. Just a little bit. But then I wipe my chin and remind myself that I am poor, and I do my best to move on...

Well, there's a few of my favorite trends! Hopefully I'll be back on track with a few new outfit posts soon. In the meantime, thanks for reading :)
