Military glam: splurge vs. steal





Preparing for the OLIVAROSE Summer 2010 fashion show! The date is set for Friday, May 7th at 7 PM at the Fairhaven High School Performing Arts Center (again). I am so pumped, but I still have quite a lot of sewing to do!!! I already have made so many rosettes that I want to punch something! (I won't, don't worry (: )






So for my piece today, and for the next couple of blogs, I'm going to put together some rad Spring/Summer 2010 outfits for you in splurge and steal form! We'll return to FW10/11 shows in a little while when it gets chillier and people aside from fashion bloggers and magazine execs care. (:



Let's take a look at the military chic trend!! This is my personal favorite of the season, continuing many ideas started in the Fall Winter 2009/10. Look for studs, camo green (please avoid actual camo, for my sake), leather, and even bullet holes! If you're rolling in dough, go for this:



MARC JACOBS Twill military jacket, $2,200



BALMAIN Slashed army t-shirt, $1,625


BALMAIN Chain-insert cotton cargo pants, $4,705


GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI Peep-toe canvas boots, $875


SONIA BY SONIA RYKIEL Studded canvas messenger bag, $315


HTC Pyramids studded leather belt, $405


DANNIJO Celia gold-plated necklace, $345



And now, THE STEALS! :



AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS Soft military jacket, $49.50


LNA Ripped tee, $47


CHELSEA & VIOLET Skinny cargo pants, $118


QUPID Luxe Akeisha lace up bootie, $40.90


MARY KATE Studded messenger, $49.95


HOT TOPIC Copper pyramid stud brown non-leather belt, $24


TORRID Silver gold and brass knotted chain necklace, $16





Enjoy your military look for less! Now, tschuß Leute! xo
