Transitional + Trendy in Military Jacket and Skater Skirt

Even though I've unpacked my cold weather wardrobe, I'm still in a transitional phase. I cleaned my closet and donated at least half of my clothes especially the winter garments. I did hold onto a couple of my favorites -- the thrifted military jacket and the neon skater skirt. Who knew they would look so good together?

The neon skater skirt is going to stick around for a bit. It's a thick enough knit to function as a multi-season piece. I kind of love it paired with black. It's a gift from my mom that keeps on giving. Surprisingly, I've only worn it one other time. I received so many compliments on what I'm sure is a mall clearance item (I know my mama). I can't go wearing it all the time though. It doesn't exactly blend in.

The military jacket is one of my favorite finds from earlier in the year. There's no shortage of thrift store blazers and jackets but it's rare to come across one so trendy. There are so many great details and most of them are in metallic gold!

It's been a while since I "purpled" out. I was all set to wear black and lime green but the newly found purple clutch wanted to get in the mix so I kept on piling on with the purple scarf and a purple ring. 

Off to enjoy an ethiopian feast and a little reggae with friends.

I didn't do a Monday Thrift & Style. The structured post keeps me from rambling but sometimes I'd just rather ramble. Ya know?

Linking up with the lovely ladies of Monday Mingle, Thrifters Anonymous, and What I Wore Wednesday.
