| How I Wore The Military Jacket in May: RED SKINNY JEANS - Little Big BLACK STRAPPY WEDGES - Colin Stuart |
Yesterday we spent the day at the Santa Monica beach near the Annenberg Beach House. It was so perfect for the girls. You could park close, they had a cafe, a play area, a bathroom, a fountain and a pathway that went all the way out to the ocean! The pathway was amazing because I could put the girls and all our stuff in the stroller and go all the way out to the water without getting stuck in the sand.

I was so inspired by last week's summer trends challenge from Megan Mae Daily and Casual Chic Kiki that I decided to do "military" and "feminine" again with my Old Navy jacket and Tracy Feith for Target floral dress I got on the clearance rack for $10.
Finding another Target designer dress on the clearance rack in my size was just about as cool as finding a pathway that leads all the way out to the beach (and it's probably just as rare too!).

I just started following both Megan Mae Daily and Casual Chic Kiki just because you posted about them~
The floral and military mix is just genius and I'm so glad you challenged yourself once again. Those olive military inspired/utility jackets I think are here to stay!
Sounds like such a lovely day! I love your look, thanks for stopping by my blog...and you're right, we all should support each other as bloggers, women, people....
Thanks
Cheryl

Love this take on military and feminine. The dress is so pretty and girly so I like the jacket added. It gives it some edge.
Sounds like you and the girls had a great time at the beach. And yah for a pathway to the beach! No fighting the sand with the stroller. That is a major bonus!
I love the two ways you styled this - and mixing in the pink with the military jacket was such a great idea!

You are the best at finding those designer dresses on clearance! I love the look of that tough jacket with the girly flowers.
You know, I just don't get how much kids like sand. When we're at the beach, mine get sandy from head to toe and it doesn't even bother them. I used to hate getting sandy, but thanks to those little monsters, I'm learning to live with it. lol
Hurray! Congrats Florence!
Hi Claire - thanks for your comments! I love this military mix w/ floral - I always save my olive colors for fall but you totally make this summer style perfect! Nice score on the $10 dress - adreneline rush!!! I wish I were little again and didn't mind eating sandy PB&J sammiches on the beach...LOL!
Absolutely LOVE the first outfit! Military and florals (especially those bold florals) just works!!

Sounds like a great day at the beach and it's wonderful to spend time with your family. I really love both looks, but I'll definitely be using the first outfit for inspiration.
That floral dress is so pretty! How did I know you were going to say it was from Target?

What a gorgeous dress! I love how you paired it with the jacket and gave it a pop with the pink belt.
I have been sort of looking for a military jacket, thought it would be fun to have one.
Your precious girls look like they are having a blast! How I'd love to relive those moments again with my boys (o.k., maybe not ALL of the moments, lol!).
I am loving the floral dress! It is fabulous.
Your sweet little ladies look like they were just having such a great time! Oh to be a kid again!! xoxo
congrats to Florence! She's such a cutie I love her blog :D

Oh, I love fountains like that. We have one here in Salem in front of the capitol building and another in Waterfront Park in Portland and they are just wonderful.
Love that jacket and the pairing in the first outfit is perfection.
that looks like so much fun! i can't believe we didn't discover it earlier! nice dress! i like that military/floral look. you get so lucky at target!
Give me reign over your closet for just one day. I beg you.
Those pink Seychelles wedges have me crying because I love the color so much.
That military jacket by Old Navy is probably my favorite thing that you own.
I have no idea how you pull off colored pants the way that you do.
YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY.
In an awesome way.

Both outfits with your military jacket are really cute- I especially love your pants in the second outfit!
Also, thanks so much for entering my giveaway! :)

I love those red skinny jeans! And I am so jealous that you guys live so close to a beach! Wish I could go!!!
Oooh, this might surprise you (or, not at all, given our track record...), but I have a jacket very similar to that. And this look went, immediately, into my inspiration file. I love the mix of the jacket with the dress. I can't wait to try something similar :)
Love the first outfit!
I love the print on your dress.
Beautiful outfit. I love the military jacket paired with the coral color pants.
A day at the beach sounds like so much fun. I love walking in the waves.
I love the contrast of a army jacket and a floral dress, it's perfect together with a pink belt. You're very creative with the clothes you have and I think you've got really versatile pieces.
