First Outfit Post - Military Chic Style

As I mentioned last week, I decided to link up to Bloggers Do It Better for the Military Chic assignment since I've loved seeing bloggers' take on previous assignments and since now I have a blog too.  Now, I am by no means a fashion blogger (nor do I have the equipment, wardrobe, or poise to pretend to try to be one!) but fashion and styling is something I enjoy, so I hope to be able to, on occasion, showcase some "what I'm wearing" posts.

Here is my take on Military Chic:

Jacket from NY&Co, Striped Cardigan from JC Penney, Grey tank from NY&Co,
Cargo skinny pants from Gap, Grey booties via DSW

As you might have seen in last week's post, I was contemplating three different outfits for the look - I managed to try on and photograph the other two looks (thanks to Esposito, who grudgingly woke up early to take these pictures of/for me - if the pictures are horrible, you can thank him ;)).  I ultimately chose the grey version because it was the most involved (I read somewhere that every outfit should have at least 5 pieces for depth and interest - and totally agree!) and because I figured wearing army green was a little too obvious and the leggings outfit, minus the sweater, wouldn't have been Military Chic at all!  (Thanks Skippy Says for your vote)!

Sweater - vintage via Goodwill, Gold chain from Jewelmint, Black tank from H&M,
Black leggings from NY&Co, Black OTK boots via TJ Maxx

Which outfit do you like better?
