Happy Friday eve lovelies! For those of you who know me you know I have been on the hunt for a good military/utility jacket for probably about a year now. I had a very specific look I wanted and none of the ones I found encompassed everything so I kept passing on every one I found. I have to admit, stopping in every store every time I saw a hint of olive drab and leaving empty handed was starting to get a bit old. I had all but given up on the "dream" to find the perfect military/utility jacket. Until now.
I actually came across this jacket while looking on Old Navy's site for a pair of jogger pants I really wanted to try on. It was featured on the girl on the homepage and I immediately hunted the jacket down on the site to get a better look. It wasn't EXACTLY what I had wanted but it encompassed enough to make think it could work and it was on sale so that's always enough to make me look twice. I decide to go ahead and make the purchase (ok, I'm not going to lie, I didn't debate on it long) and got the jacket 3 days later. Hello fast shipping! I've envisioned wearing this jacket with so many outfits but my first outfit was one I wore to work for our all company meeting and boy am I glad I had that jacket. It was like the artic tundra in that meeting! Even though the military jacket is a bit more on the casual side I decided to dress it up slightly by pairing it with black jeans and wedges. Casual but not too casual and still put together. Have you ever coveted after the perfect piece of clothing?
The jacket is perfect!! I've loved this look since it became a "thing". I have a jacket similar to this but it zips kinda diagonally which adds another element of something different to the jacket. Love the look you put together! :)
I'm with you - been looking for this kind of jacket for a long time...Going to check out Old Navy and pray that it isn't sold out!!! Love how you styled it girl!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
Wow, your patience skills are something to be envied. I would have totally given up or settled for one I liked less just so I could have a military jacket. I know military jackets have been big for a while but I've never been really drawn to any of them - mostly because of the color, I think. But yours... in this grey color is really pretty. I see now why you waited!
Girl, you are looking great! I love the military style recently and this jacket is perfect! Can't beat some Old Navy , I wish they had it here in London!
I've been eyeing that jacket, too, so now I'm glad to know what it looks like on a normal person! You can bet I'll be picking this up next week during my birthday shopping extravaganza. :) You look fabulous!
Love the jacket and you styled it perfectly! I purchased a utility jacket not too long ago and while it'd definitely not "the one" it gets the job done until I do find a better option.
I had been debating getting those wedges but now that I see they're on sale, it's really a no-brainer..haha! And I'm glad you were able to hold out for the perfect jacket.. I love this one! xoxo
love this jacket - i hate when there is something on the model and you have to hunt it down, you should be able to click on it and see what it is, lol. and of course i love those wedges!
This jacket is absolutely fabulous on you!!! It seems that every year these jackets come back around spring time and every year I wish for one but never take the plunge. This is the perfect price point for me and the style that I would choose!
This is such a great look, Pamela! I have been searching for a jacket just like this, it is so cute! And that clutch is so fabulous! Have a wonderful week!
