Styling a Military Jacket

Hi there!
Military jackets are a fun Spring trend, but how do you wear one without looking like a member of Sg & Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band? Don't worry I've got you covered!
This fun military jacket is a versatile sweater material with a hint of velvet to dress it up, and can be thrown over mostly anything. It's by Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply (though I recently got this on Ebay!) and goes with jeans and a band tee or a fun flirty look like the way I styled it above: with a dark jean, a funky bright sandal, big earrings, and a Chanel purse. I call this my running from brunch to errands in style look!
The sandals you might recognize from two posts ago, a recent Nine West outlet score, and the jeans are Express Denim. My bag is Chanel and earrings were a gift from my cousin in Brazil. This was a perfect look to walk around NYC with Francisco and hit the museums and lunch.
The jacket is perfect for those slightly chilly late Spring evenings without keeping you too warm, too! Now that Memorial Day has passed it's officially summer but it's not super hot just yet, so a light blazer or military jacket is perfect!
Xo,
Carolina
