Army Green

by Karen Blanchard
13 February 2012


With slouchy denim + a little gold…

Coat: Zara for men. Harem jeans: H&M. Denim shirt: Mng Mango (or try this) Boots: ALDO (these ones are similar). Lipstick: MAC So Chaud. Bag: Balenciaga (avail here).  Gold mirrored shades: Ray Ban

It’s cold enough to wear this men’s military coat found last year. It’s what got me into checking out Zara’s mens coats ever since.  I wore the coat with all over denim, fingerless gloves and boots.

ps. The nails are metallic gold using Minx. Been itching to try it for ages. It’s like having liquid gold on your tips! I think I’m hooked and want to try a different shade.  Anyone in NY got a fave salon that does them?

    ah, those jeans!! did you purchase them recently at H&M?

    • Karen says:

      No I’ve had them for about 1 year maybe? worth checking though since I think H&M does different jean styles often.

    • Lauren C. says:

      Thanks!

    Love your take of denim on denim and the interest that this mens military jacket adds…love it!

  57. budget chic says:

    This outfit is sooooo fly!! Excellent choice on the coat, menswear or not!

  58. caroline says:

    hi karen! i was thinking about buying a balenciaga bag – but i don’t know wether to choose city or work, cause i would like the shoulder strop, but on the other hand – i want to be able to bring it to school – so i was wondering, since you have both, which of them you would recommend? i’m just afraid that the work bag will be to big for just a walk around town 🙂

    I really like her boots. It is perfectly combined with the skinny jeans as well as with her other outfit. I also like the style of the knot in her boots.
