As promised, here's a personal style post! I spend most of my styling energy on outfits for work so my first personal style post is both office-friendly and military inspired.
When I start to style an outfit with a certain trend in mind I first look to magazines and pinterest. A simple search of the trend's key words will help give you some ideas for how others have put this trend together. The next step is to look at your own closet.
For the military trend I focused on the army color scheme. Green, grey, and brown. And because I was headed to the office, pencil skirt and jacket were essential.
I'm a big fan of the offset-semi-tuck for shirts into skirts. For me it helps to create a focal point waist without cutting my short frame in half.
The final piece is to accessorize. For my military outfit I focused on matte brass and silver. My necklace is a grey pearl piece from J.Crew a few years ago and when paired with the grey T-shirt, it creates a monochromatic but textured effect.
