Military Chic (Style Journey)

Hey curvy girls all over the world,

There is one trend I have been wanting to try this spring season and that is the military green trend. Now, I am normally a brights girl when it comes to spring and summer style but right now I am feeling this military green. From Marc Jacobs to Marissa Webb military green is everywhere. Remember our last post on it? Read it HERE.

I have always been intrigued by olive green but I shied away from it because I thought it wouldn’t be a good color for my skin tone. I hate when colors make me look drab. Despite my skepticism, I decided to give the color a try. Whenever I try a trend, I always start off with something simple. I like to get my feet wet before I fully commit to a trend. So, I picked up a simple button pocket utility blouse from Loft.

It has roll tab sleeves and a shirttail hem.

For some added flair, I decided to tie the top up around my waist.

I was going for a simple chic and sexy look, so I teamed the olive green utility blouse with my favorite pencil skirt of the moment, which is this ASOS Curve front split midi pencil skirt.
