ATTENTION! How to Incorporate Military Touches into your Look

07 Dec ATTENTION! How to Incorporate Military Touches into your Look

Last weekend–wait, was it last weekend?–I went on a date to see Lincoln with my parents. You guys know that I’m a bit of a history geek on the low so you can imagine I was excited for numerous reasons. And then I get in theater and found myself being distracted by something completely random: the men in their military garb.

I’m serious. The way the jackets hit just so on the hips with their pants tucked into, get this, over-the-knee-boots made me want to try and recreate this look for myself. But, you know, as a girly civilian kind-of obsessed with wearing men’s clothing. So I headed to my new favorite place, Macy’s.com to see how I could incorporate military touches into my wardrobe.

I like the idea of wearing a military blazer over a skater dress with rugged, masculine riding boots. Too keep things from looking too costume-y, like you legit think you’re one of General George Gordon’s Meade’s (wo)men, a top knot, red lips and lashes that pop give the look more of a fashion edge.

Speaking of Macy’s, I want to thank you all for your kind words via Twitter and Instagram as I shared snapshots of what was going on behind the scenes in New York as I filmed a segment for their #SavvyShopper campaign. It was a long day but being with fun ladies like Hallie, Ashley and Tammy made the time fly by. I mean, the picture below is pretty indicative of our time together. Granted we were all at least 5 cups of coffee in but hey:

I can’t wait to share more from the shoot. Ashley there is wearing a military jacket, isn’t that cute?? What are you feelings on military touches? Yay or nay?

From exciting events to the latest trends, amazing contests to everyday values, Macy’s has been making magic for over 150 years!
