Style Me November - Week 3

I bring you week 3 of the Style Me November Style Challenge. If you'd like to read my previous posts on the challenge, read week 1 here and week 2 here. 

It's in the Bag:

Top: LOFT

Pants: JustFab Perfect Jegging Knit in Burgundy

Boots: JustFab Astana

Scarf: ModCloth Open Air Outing Circle Scarf in Black Cherry

Bag: CWonder Printed Signature Tote and Printed Zip Top Pouch

As I mentioned on IG, I absolutely adore these bags. They are pretty much all I carry any more. They are super handy and the print goes with everything. I put all the baby stuff in the tote and all my stuff in the zip top pouch. If I ever don't need the baby stuff, I can just pull the pouch out and use it as a clutch! 

Oversized Chic:

Top: ModCloth Bonfire Stories Tunic in Red Plaid

Jeans: JustFab Signature Skinny in Dark Medium

Boots: JustFab Landry

Scarf: Walmart (similar)

I didn't really have anything oversized, but this ModCloth tunic was close enough. 

Makes Me Feel Ladylike:

Dress: eShakti Shawl Collar Trapunto Trim Dress 

Cardigan: ModCloth Charter School Cardigan in Navy

Shoes: B.O.C. (similar)

Pretty much every dress makes me feel ladylike, so this prompt was easy!

Blue Moon:

Sweater: Elizabeth & Clarke (swapped, similar)

Leggings: Old Navy Jersey Leggings

Boots: JustFab Astana

Necklace: Versona Accessories 

I didn't have a lot of blue clothing that wasn't navy so I let the necklace be the pop of blue to my super comfy outfit. Sidenote: I got this sweater the day prior, otherwise I would've worn it for Oversized Chic.

Colorful Gams:

Shirt: American Eagle (similar)

Tee: LOFT Striped Long Sleeve Shirt

Jeans: JustFab Perfect Jegging Knit in Burgundy

Boots: JustFab Acheline

My JustFab Knit Jeggings come to the rescue again since they are the only pair of colorful pants I have with me. 

Pattern Play:

Top: Target Merona Women's Boatneck 3/4 Sleeve

Cardigan: ModCloth Charter School Cardigan in Honey

Pants: LOFT Camo Print Tailored Twill Skinny Pant (similar)

Shoes: Cato Fashions Knotted Flats

Typically I'm all about feminine prints like floral or polka dots, but I wanted to be different and use my LOFT camo skinny pants to do the pattern mixing. 

Denim Dame:

Top: Cato Fashions Striped Drop Shoulder Tee

Jeans: JustFab Signature Skinny in Dark Medium

Shoes: B.O.C. (similar)

Scarf: gift last year (similar)

Since I wore my chambray shirt a couple days ago, I didn't want to repeat it so soon. But Denim Dame, that's easy enough right? Just wear jeans! It's like a bingo free space! I can wear what I want! Holy crap, this was the hardest day this week for me. I had too many choices and too many options. It took me much longer than it should've for me to come up with this combo. Really it only came together because I just bought the shirt last night and I was looking for an excuse to wear it. I did some more pattern mixing and accented it with the leopard accessories. I really like the way it turned out.

Another week down, more creative juices flowing. I'll say again that this challenge has been so much fun!

Come back Thursday for next week's recap, or follow me on my instagram to see it daily!

Everyday Style - Military Styling

Top: Old Navy Women's Perfect Crew Neck Tee

Vest: Old Navy Canvas Utility Vest (no longer available, similar, similar)

Pants: H&M Slim Fit Pants

Shoes: ShoeDazzle (no longer available, similar, similar)

You can take the girl out of the military but you can't take the military out of the girl. Military styling is huge this fall which pleases me greatly. I'm absolutely obsessed with the color olive right now. I've already collected this vest from Old Navy (thanks to my sister for the birthday present!), a cargo jacket, a cardigan, and I'm on the hunt for some pants and a scarf. 

I bought the shoes last year on super clearance at ShoeDazzle. I really debated buying them because at the time I thought, "I wear camo 5 days a week. Why wear it on my off days?" But I'm SO glad I did. Not only are they some of the most comfortable flats I own, but camo is big this fall, and I find myself missing the camo now that I don't wear it daily. It's a win/win. 

One tip for styling the typically bulkier jackets and vests that are big right now: The rest of your outfit should be form fitting to counter balance and maintain that femininity. It may be common knowledge to most, but some of us are slow learners. 

Hopefully you can find some good military pieces for this fall if you don't already have them in your closet. 

Happy Shopping!
