Style Theory: The Khaki Jacket...the ideal layering item to throw over your vest tops and denim shorts on cooler summer evenings and days.
 |
The khaki jacket is a cool alternative to a denim jacket, it looks as good over a casual denim dress as a smarter midi dress. It dresses down a dressed up outfit perfectly. Here are some styling ideas:
 |
| With leather shorts and a floaty top |
 |
| Add a touch of glamour and colour with a beautiful bright statement necklace and beaded clutch. |
 |
 |
| The khaki jacket looks fab with skorts and a breton, dressed up with a beautiful pearl statement necklace. |
 |
| Slung over a black maxi dress...note how fabulous a red bag looks with the khaki coloured jacket. |
 |
| Just love everything about this look..especially the dress. |

MY STYLE:
Practising what I preach with my camo jacket over my Diesel frilled dress:
 |
| Camo Jacket: Primark Dress: Diesel Sandals: H&M Bag: Topshop |
For a picnic out at our local Nation Trust Park, possibly the calmest, most tranquil place near me, even with three boys tearing around it seemed really peaceful...
 |
| Top: H&M Shorts: Gap Sandals: Primark Backpack: Jack Wills |
For one of our very best friend's wedding blessing, it was a beautiful sunny day with a blessing at church then a lovely party in their back garden...
 |
| Lace Top: H&M Skirt: Asos Shoes:M&S |
Finally for a day running around after the kids I wore my new Topshop dress that I picked up in the sales. I had tried it on full price and then bought my maxi dress instead, so when I saw it had been reduced to half price I could not resist!

| Dress: Topshop Bag: Topshop Shoes: Russell and Bromley |
