Army Green with Envy

As I was shopping at the mall last week (which I prefer not to do very often because of the unoriginality of it all) I noticed that every store had an immense amount of military/army inspired pieces. Some things were cute and others were a little too G.I Jane for me, but nonetheless I have found some pieces that I wouldn’t mind going to bootcamp in.

For a more dressed up look of this trend, this top by Alice + Olivia is perfect with a pair of black shorts or pants and a patent, nude heel!

Need something to carry your girly military essentials in? Go for this Botkier bag for a little more stylish look or for more casual look sling on this army messenger.


I absolutely love this double tier cargo skirt! I would pair it with a white tank or a white flutter sleeve tee tucked in. Add some gold jewelry and the perfect pair of shoes and you’ll be one HOTT soldier!

This Elizabeth and James army green corset is versatile and sexy! Wear it with a skirt, shorts or even a pair of harem pants or capris.

Looking for a more played down way to work this trend? Try a pair of these Diane Von Furstenberg cargos, Current/Elliott skinny cargo, or this green burnout tee!



Every girl needs a dress they can carry over into all seasons and this Foley + Corinna dress is it! Change the look by adding a longer boyfriend cardigan, cropped jacket, or khaki colored vest.

If your looking for just a little added touch go this pair of Jeffrey Campbell flats or this Jenny Bird chain necklace.


Transitional pieces are starting to pop up everywhere to get us through ever changing weather from season to season. This Pencey field jacket is a perfect lighter option for weather that isn’t too warm or too cold. Or go for this sleeveless trench by Torn by Ronny Kobo and wear it with a long tank, dress, or a fitted long sleeved solid colored top!
