Lost in the Mix

24/30 [12/3/10]


It’s starting to become clear which pieces {hello pink and yellow cardigans} have become my go-to remix items and which pieces have sadly gotten a bit lost {this green jacket} in the mix.


Truth be told, I planned my 30 items without considering the fact that I may begin working a second job so it seems the few casual pieces I included have been neglected. Jeans – a staple of my weekend attire – have only been worn twice {prior to job #2 and a surprise day “off”} . My black dress – a replacement piece, has actually been worn a lot. But begrudgingly I repeated day 15 almost every time {no need to post repeats, right}. And this jacket unfortunately falls into the same category.


I love this jacket. Its mixture of military and comfort make it a piece thats great after work or on the weekends. But circumstances being what they may, haven’t lent themselves to after work adventures or relaxing weekends. So when I thinking through this particular outfit, I decided to give my lil green jacket some extra attention. Being 7am at the time my judgment skills were still warming up and I couldn’t decided if the green actually went with my red tights. But hey if you can’t get away mixing green and red in December, when can you?

Pin It!

  3. I love the outfit you paired this jacket with. I actually just bought a jacket that looks similar. This gives me some ideas of things to wear with it :)

  4. I really like how you mixed the military jacket in with more structured and polished pieces. Very creative!

    And I completely agree, if not red + green now, when?

  5. green and red are complementary colors, so you definitely get away with it! and, like you said, it's December - so there's a double whammy! I love that belt - I think I told you that before, but I really do.
