Part of March’s clothing budget included this army jacket from Old Navy. I already wore it once with my colored denim and have seen so many inspiration photos lately that I decided to remix it with a dress!
I love the olive green against stripes as seen on these lovely ladies:
So here’s the look I came up with.
This jacket just makes me feel tough. Isn’t that what army jackets are supposed to do?!
And the addition of the jewelry adds a feminine edge, which I love!
Boots: Aldo
Dress: Old Navy (currently out of stock)
Jacket: Old Navy
Necklace: Loft Outlet
I also plan to wear the jacket with a few other textures/patterns like the ones below…the contrast of the feminine dresses with the jacket works so well!
Bright color | Florals | Lace

Everything looks great – but I especially love the little pop of color from your necklace!
Thanks! Yeah it adds a classic feminine edge to the outfit!
This is such a cute look! Love your striped dress :)

Thanks Annie…that dress is gonna get a ton of wear I just know it! :-)
And weren’t you the one who commented saying you didn’t think you’d know how to wear an army jacket? :-) Love it with your dress and boots and you picked some great inspiration photos, too!
I think I was :-) Yeah I was on the fence about buying the jacket from Old Navy then just went for it–glad I did! If anything, blogs and Pinterest give me all the styling ideas I need!
Love this outfit. YOu can’t go wrong with stripes and army green. I like the second jacket.

Thanks Agi! Yeah I wasn’t sure if I could get enough wear out of the army jacket so wasn’t sure about buying it but after seeing these inspiration photos, I’m sure I will!
Mid has been worn constantly!! I’ve worn it with pink skinnies, burgundy skinnies, striped dress…it’s really a no brainer layer. I’m pleased bc I’ve returned several before this one, and the price is terrific for something I wear all the time. I may buy a 2nd if thy get marked down significantly.
Yeah it’s such a neutral tone that it could paired with most any color…the pink sounds super cute! Yeah I was looking at the red/coral version…but I may wait until they come out with a vest instead :-)
I think I saw this jacket at Old Navy today! It is so cute, but I have one like it in blue so I just can’t justify buying it right now. It looks great on you though! I love the combination of the army jacket with the dress and jewelry. Love it all!
