Commanding Style

I've always loved men in military uniforms. That military look is so unique, there's no mistaking it for anything else. It's absolutely powerful and commanding. That's why this fall I'm very excited to rock the military look for myself! Military fashions are all over the runways right now and they won't be going out of style any time soon. So go ahead, girlfriends, feel sexy and carry yourself with authority while wearing these Macy's military-inspired jackets like the INC Band Collar Military Cutaway Jacket, and the American Rag Distressed Stitched Pocket. Nordstrom also carries a variety of military-inspired looks including sweaters, shirts and jackets.
Before I go any farther, I have to throw in this helpful tip. Ladies, Ladies DO NOT over-do the military combinations. You want to get the right "Attention." So polish up your look with one or the other, either a military style top OR military bottoms, but not both! Military style cargo pants are an important fashion piece to add to your check list this fall like these Macy's Grane Skinny Cargo Pants, and should be worn with a very simple top or a great sweater.
Don’t worry you don’t have to look like a drill sergeant to wear this style. Instead, get excited to "salute" the look with accessories by adding a pair of shoes or a handbag. Get a pair of boots with an array of buttons, chains, or zippers like the dark olive suede boot by 7 for all Mankind Ego to wear with your jeans or add an army green military handbag like this MZ Wallace Gigi tote to your shoulder to combat fashion boredom.
As always, my trendy recruits, if you're wearing green you should be eating green. The military might have it's top secret weapons or classified missions, but here's one super food you I'll de-classify, that you can add to your arsenal....Greens! Collard greens are loaded with Vitamins, especially K. Vitamin K helps keep cuts and scrapes from bleeding too much and starts the healing process. So if you're like a rookie at bootcamp, and tend to be accident prone, might be a good idea for you to start eating your greens. Together with Calcium, Vitamin K helps build strong bones. One cup of Collard Greens gives you 27% of your Daily Value. Ladies between 19 and 50 years old need about 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day, and those over 51 need to increase to about 1,200 milligrams.
Stocking up on your collard greens and wearing your military greens might just help you move up the ranks on the fashion ladder. So don't forget with Palette 2 Palate, color is in all year 'round!
