"Gareth, bring me my horse." "What do you mean it's not where you tethered it?" o_O "Wha..WTF is this? A parking ticket?" "Outrageous, bro. Fuggin' outrageous. How am I supposed to get home?" >_< It's so hard to find good help these days, you know? Hm? What? Oh! Hello! :DDD How long have you been standing there? You know what, it doesn't matter. Haha. Check out my rad military coat! ^_^

Picture

It's super sweet, you guys and I got it through my swap group! Holla! :DDD Knitted Dove is one of my favorite designers! I have another darker green Knitted Dove coat that I also got through my swap group and that I've worn a bunch on my blog, already. Click here to see how I last styled that coat.

I think this coat looks much more impressive closed than open, so even though I wore it open for most of the day, I wanted to show you how it looks completely zipped. I love the unfinished, frayed trim and the zipper gap. It's haphazardly awesome. ^_^ I think it's the perfect subdued shade of olive, too.

Picture

I felt like the light brown high waisted jeans looked almost like riding breeches when combined with the tall brown boots. So, I guess this is an equestrian inspired outfit. ^_^ Hehe. The floral top I'm wearing is a romper, actually. Yeah, I'm sure this doesn't come as a surprise to my regular readers. Hehe. As for the rest of you, I apologize for hoodwinking you, but that's just how I roll, sometimes. :D So, yeah the romper is just a little bit too short for me, so I decided I'd wear it like a top with skirts, shorts and pants.

I got the romper from my swap group, too. Hooray for recycled clothing! ^_^ I love the Spring colors and the wooden buttons. It was just too good to pass up and I'm determined to wear it, even though I probably won't ever feel comfortable wearing it by itself. I dunno, maybe one day I'll change my mind.

 That's it! :P I hope you like this outfit! Thanks for reading and, as always, thank you for your kindness!

Your swap group sounds like the bomb. You always get the coolest stuff from there. This coat is so awesome, and so totally Anna. I love it (:

Yeah, I feel pretty fortunate to have a place where I can off load stuff I don't wear anymore for relatively cheap. I know there are clothing swap groups in major cities, though. Try Meetup.com and see if anything pops up!

I love the military/riding vibe this has going on; everything just combines so perfectly.

That coat is AMAZING and it looks like the perfect weight for spring/fall weather! I agree that it looks more interesting when closed, but it still looks pretty cool when you wear it open. I wish I could find a similar jacket...maybe I'll start keeping my eyes peeled at the thrift stores.

Oh, it's wicked, bro! :D <3 I felt so lucky to get it through my clothing swap group! It's honestly one size too small for me. I can't wear anything more than a light/thin top underneath (and you know how much I'm addicted to layering), so that means I won't get to wear this coat as often as I'd like, but dammit I will love every minute of when I do get to wear it. :P If you could score something similar at a thrift or vintage shop, that would be so awesome! <3
