I hadn't intended to join Rae's bootcut boot camp, but this morning in the dark when I grabbed something to wear for walking the dog, it was my bootcuts. So when getting dressed, I decided to stick with them. I was inspired by J's everyday fashion's post to wear my military-inspired jacket over stripes.
This feels to me like it works, and the happiness factor is high. I'm kind of surprised by that - I'll have to set and figure out why it works (or if I'm deluding myself ) :)
Suggestions?

I suggest you wear this more often! ;)
And because I am a maximal girl, I would love to see a pendant or maybe a scarf to jazz it up even more!

I really like this look and I'm very into the whole military style jacket. I am always wary of stripes for myself, but I may attempt a similar pairing. Great outfit!
This looks great on you!

Awesome! I am jealous that you have a great military jacket...had my eye out for probably ten years and never loved one on me. I think pairing it with stripes was very current - j crew just did a military jacket with great striped lining.

Thanks Rae - This jacket was a linen olive shirt-dress that I happened across. I liked the military-jacket-esque details, so I lopped it off and gave it a new hem. It's not quite warm enough for winter most days, but I know it'll be a spring/fall workhorse.
