I think that military jackets are always on trend and I love to wear them. I first wore this jacket when I was celebrating with my hubby 10 years at a staff awards dinner in 2006. So I have had this jacket for almost six years. Wow, that’s so amazing to me. I bought this jacket from Newport News for a great bargain and it has served me well.
I wore this jacket on Sunday and it felt different, it felt even more comfortable because I have been working out and eating healthier. It’s amazing what gradual changes can do. The jacket is military inspired; but it has wonderful feminine details on the sleeves and bottom edges with the ruffle details.
And I really appreciate the attention to detail of the bead work on the mandarin collar. It’s simply beautiful. Vinny is in motion right behind me.
This picture is a close up of the sleeve and bottom hem ruffle trim. The buttons are a brass tone so it works with any jewelry I have. I really don’t need much because the jacket has the jewelry already on it.
And I have to talk about the fabric. Thin pin wale corduroy is so much more comfortable than the thick stuff. The print is so pretty with all the vibrant color in the flowers. The jacket is so versatile because it has so much to offer in design and detail.

Doggies have to be in on the fun. My bag is from Dooney and Bourke, I can get a lot in this bag. My necklace was a gift and my heart pendant is from Nolan Miller.
Great jacket! The ruffles are a brilliant touch. Your furbabies look adorable. HHL
Thank you. The puppies are adorable.

Thanks Pat, I appreciate you sweet words.
Wow, the jacket really IS amazing. I love the contrast between military & feminity and also how you pair it.
I agree that healthy choices makes us feel so more comfortable, it’s incredible!! I want to try harder living healthy as it’s the key for strong body & mind.

Kristina
