10th Commandment: April 6

Apr 6, 2012

I’m a total trenchcoat girl, but lately, I’ve noticed several fashionable women wearing olive utility jackets on the weekends.  I like the look because it gives an outfit a casual low-maintanence air while still being cool and stylish.

    Nice! I just got one of these. I'd love to see some outfit ideas around this kind of jacket. I'm more girly and it's a tough piece for me to figure out, even though I love the look. Thanks!

    Considering that's Burberry it's relatively inexpensive. Still can't afford it though – Ebay here I come.

    I bought a grey jacket very similar to these on Gilt recently by Splendid, which I really love.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts.
