a military jacket is a repeat favorite that has that cool chic vibe i favor. this version is linen with roll-up sleeves. dress it up with a white denim pencil skirt. and add a striped tee for a smart summer style. but don’t forget to amp up the look with a few key accessories. a brown belt is a good starting point. see how the gold buckle emphasizes the gold zippers and buttons found on the jacket? a statement necklace in muted shades of green is fresh and fun and adds just the right amount of pizazz to this ootd. strappy sandals and a leather bucket handbag are the finishing touches that help me kick-off monday in style. and the sunnies? this is my last pair from Ditto. they say all good things must come to an end so don’t miss the sign-up! july 31st is the last day to use code STYLEATACERTAINAGE. receive your first month free with a subscription for endless designer eyewear on rotation. i’ve had a ball trying on different sunglasses for size. check back on sunday when i trot all six pairs out for one last spin.

I love a military jacket–and stripes are so classic, they always add interest. Great look.
thanks, sue. maybe that’s why i own so many different striped tees!

Loving the white skirt. I think I need one. And that necklace is awesome. Not to mention the sunnies. Sometimes I hate that we can’t wear them inside.
