OOTD: Military Jacket... Some say Beatles.

I am forever going into Hot Topic to try to score clothing & accessories on extreme clearance as it is one of my favorite apparel stores & has some pretty kickass merchandise. One of their stores in my area, one that I frequented, closed & they emailed all of the Regulars with a 10$ off a purchase of 25$. (This is the part where I glance at the screen with a knowing yet mischevious look while the live studio audience laughs on cue.)

I would not pass up any coupon or sale opportunity in Hot Topic. I swear it's a sickness.


Anyhow, I decided that I would try to get some items to add to my respectable work wardrobe & made a beeline for the clearance section so that I could get the most bang for my buck. Lo & behold, the first thing on the rack was this jacket. Since I have a leather already (I was dying for one) the next item on my list was a military styled jacket. I fit it on for the hell of it & loved the way that it looked with the jeans I was wearing. (Also pictured here) This jacket was a gift from the gods! More of a right place, right time scenario. Everyone at work loved it & the only thing I can say negatively is that once your wardrobe has a piece like this, you can't wear it all the time with the same exact outfit. My favorite thing about this jacket is that the colors are somewhat reversed with the lightest color (which is usually the detail) is the solid khaki of the actual jacket & the darker color is used in the detailing instead. The material is incredibly durable so I know that I will have this jacket for a pretty long time.
