Fall In Line with Trends

It's March 1, which means spring is around the corner. One spring trend I really love this year is the military jacket. It's versatile and easy to layer with just about any style. Throw it on with any casual look for an extra bit of flair.

Banana Republic, Full Sleeve Jacket, $82

Bet you didn't see this feminine take on the military jacket coming. Love this.

Madewell, Tilden Military Jacket, $98

Love the idea of pairing this jacket with a dress. Such a great contrast.

Express, Lace Up Side Military Jacket, $98

Great snap and zipper details, but can we talk about the lace up sides?

Shoptiques, Honey Punch Rose Military Jacket, $98

How about some embroidered detail? Beautiful.

Military jackets are a great trend for spring. Much different then a floral or eyelet for the warmer weather.

Sir, Yes Sir

I love a simple shirtdress. It's casual and chic in an effortless sort of way. My only gripe with shirt dresses is that sometimes they can be a bit short so make sure you do the sit-down test when trying them on. If you're doubting, don't wear it to work. Just don't. Today I thought we would look at a specific type of shirtdress: the military style. This trend is a bit more masculine and the olive green hue looks good on anyone.

Express, Green Military Shirt Dress, $79

I love a flap button pocket, it's a little safari but not in a Wild Thornberry kind of way.

Nordstrom, KUT from the Kloth Solange Dress, $52

You know what summer needs more of? Linen. The coolest fabric ever.

Macy's, NY Collection Petite Rolltab Sleeve Dress, $41

A deeper green makes this dress completely feminine and work appropriate.

Loft, Safari Shirtdress, $79

A slouchy option that is perfect for the weekend. I love the side slits as an extra detail.

The military trend is a great one to follow during all four seasons, but I especially love the shirtdress option. It's casual and easy for work or play.

Lovebugs,
Yesterday we talked button downs and I thought we'd continue that trend with military inspired dresses that are so often detailed with buttons, grommets, and other bling.

J Jill, Military Sweater Dress, $35 (!!)

I love this outfit with a pair of flat boots.  And the price? Hello.

Canvas, Chambray Military Shirt Dress, $59

I never really got into the chambray trend but this dress with these suede wedges- perfect.

J Crew, Jane Dress, $69

The v-neck, the pockets, the sleeves, the price! Buy it.

Lutz & Patmos, Short Dress, $79

Now this is how you dress up the military trend.  Black silk and a deep drape neckline.

Military jackets will surely be seen this fall, but why not try military dresses? Great with flat knee high boots of suede lace-up wedges.

Great dress, just please make sure you sit down in it in the dressing room before you buy it! Don't look at the size, look at how it fits you.

White House Black Market, Slim Ponte Military Pants, $88

So hot. Sleek and determined.

American Eagle, Cropped Military Cardigan, $30

Perfect for running around on the weekend with jeans and boots.

Piperlime, Mia Duke, $80

I love the military themed button, rounded tow, AND fold over cuff.

And for Everyday Mom Ideas blogger's Christmas list- she asked for a rosette blouse.  What do you think of this one?
