Bloggers Do It Better: Military Chic

As soon as I got back from Boston, I had to take part in the latest BDIB challenge, military chic.

I knew as soon as I saw the challenge that I had to wear this Alice and Olivia blazer. I truly love Alice and Olivia, and this is my first and only thing from them.

Thank goodness it's got the military look going on.

I knew I wanted to wear this blazer with something girly and floral. The only thing I wish is that this tunic was long enough to be a dress. The flouncy tiers at the bottom are too cute.

I seriously checked myself in the mirror a lot, wondering, What if I just don't wear pants?

And, oh boy, did you see the shoulder pads in this blazer? It called for adding some height with majorly pulling up my hair and adding a few inches at my feet (see the wedge boots in the pic above).
