If you were to ask me 2 years ago how I felt about military inspired clothing, I would have gone off about my distain for anything and everything camo related!! At the time I was working with so many different camo patterns that I think I started to resent it all. But now I am singing a completely different tune!
There are so many great military inspired trends out there right now and I love how they are being interpreted into woven shirts, jackets, and pants! Check out the little collage that I threw together with all of the pieces that I am currently lusting over!
I love taking menswear and making it feminine and wearable for me. So its only natural that I am obsessed with the whole military trend. I actually purchased the jacket below from Asos a couple of weeks ago!
How fabulous is this jacket? It literally sold out on the Asos website within a few days…luckily one of my other blogger friends brought this jacket to my attention and I made sure to snap it right up!
Unfortunately, as soon as I pulled the jacket out of the box I noticed that it heavily smelled like a mixture of cat pee and rotting fish. Now I know that this jacket wasn’t accidentally soaked in anything bad…but that its actually a chief characteristic of the dye used. So far I have dowsed the whole thing with half a bottle of Febreeze, but it has only taken the smell down by 50%.
Anyone have any good ideas?! I really, really want to keep it!
Cheers,

A Whimsical Tale of Wanderlust 
I am a die-hard lover of military styling in women’s wear! This is about the third time it has been “in” in my adult life, and always with a fresh take. Never throw away your old military-look things; this look is a true classic and they’ll always come back in style. My chic 21-year-old has my gorgeous military-influenced blazer from the 90s now.
I love the jacket you show with the leather sleeves.
Good advice! Fashion is just one giant cycle isn’t it?! Ha. Thanks for checking out my blog and yours is lovely as well!
Thanks for the feedback on my blog; I’m glad you checked it out. Yes, fashion is definitely one big cycle!
