Today's Everyday Fashion: Guest Post




























This is a guest post while J is away on vacation. Check out Katie's blog, Latte Loves Style!

I found this fabulous military-style fitted blazer by H&M during one of my thrift store trips last spring. When I was coming up with ways to style it, I searched for some inspiration on the internets. This outfit by Ciara was the perfect fit! I love the layered simple necklaces, skinny black pants (I went with black jeggings) and the neutrals of white, grays, and black. The best part was that I had every piece in my closet already!

Tank: Old Navy, $5
Diamond pendant necklace: Gift

    Wow! Love this whole look!  What a great find with the military inspired blazer.  This has some great remixing capabilities with fall approaching.  Very simple, but pulled together and polished!

    very sharp! You wear the shorter blazer nicely, I'd need a longer one just to hide my hips...great look~

    Thanks Meg! I'm always doing something a little different, so my hair doesn't look quite like that anymore :-)

    I'm normally a little self conscious about my hips too, so thanks for the compliment!

    I really love the juxtaposition of the military, very masculine, stuff with the more feminine cuts and accessories! Well done!
