Leopard & Lace in Central Park

military jacket outfit print mixing

I’ve always loved the juxtaposition of a feminine lace piece with a tougher military-inspired vest or jacket. (Remember this outfit from 2013?) Leopard print pairs perfectly with the neutral combination of white and army green, but I thought I’d throw an extra print into the mix this time around. Can’t go wrong with stripes!

I wore this outfit for a casual workday a few weeks ago before it got so hot and humid. The jacket and boyfriend jeans wouldn’t really fly in the current 90 (humid) degrees in New York right now! But for the cooler days of summer, I love tossing on a pair of comfortable boyfriend jeans and a lightweight army jacket.

    Those heels look so cute, I rarely find leopard print items I like, but shoes tend to be a win for me and the clutch is gorgeous ๐Ÿ™‚

    I absolutely love how the jacket looks against the lace of the top! I’m so excited that I’ll finally be able to wear stuff like this for more than 2 days of the year once we move!

    The combo of lace with military elements is definitely a great combo, and this look is killer on you!
