The Army Jacket + Leather Sleeves

jacket - H&M similar version here
pants - Lane Bryant similar and cheaper here
handbag - Zara
boots - shoemint.com

Yes, I am wearing black again and for the new followers of my blog, this will never change...LOL!  For the last year or so one of the big trends has been the updated military jacket with leather sleeves.  Lately, I have been more open to popular styles, but I must admit I have seen this jacket on so many fashion blogs.  The reason I finally decided to go for it is because I found a kaki version!!!  It was truly love at first sight.  I quickly jumped over the army green ones (but I loved them too) and prayed to find a kaki one in a size 14!  Now, I will admit that zipping this jacket poses a challenge, but I did not plan to wear it that way anyway.  I am glad that my pride didn't stop me from buying this item because it is truly my favorite jacket of the moment, and I have so many plans for it!  This is really a great fashionable staple for your wardrobe. The only plus size version that I have found so far is this fabulous one from the American Rag line from Macy's.  Will this updated military jacket be a staple in your wardrobe?

  4. I have a green anorak-ish jacket I got from Forever 21+ thats great...
    I found a camo jacket in Target that I was soooo close to getting but I remembered my green one and didn't want to duplicate.
    I love your looks...they are so simple-chic...just the right pieces placed here or there, (like the gold belt and bold lip) that pull them together...
