We had the most glorious taste of fall-like weather the last few days, and it was perfect. Sadly, the heat and humidity are back for the weekend, but I like to think that we aren’t far from real fall temperatures and dressing. I’ve got my favorite fall military jacket on standby, just waiting in the wings to be worn again.

This has been a go-to now for at least two seasons. I always tell people, if you’re looking for an under $150 jacket that you’ll wear time and time again, it’s the fall military jacket. It truly pairs with so much (last seen here and here).

The heat definitely doesn’t seem like it’s easing up anytime soon, so I’ve been opting to wear short sleeve or sleeveless tops under my fall military jacket, so I can shed it when I’m outside or running around and get too warm.

I’m a firm believer that wardrobe rules, like no white after labor day, get thrown out the window when you live in Sunbelt states. My grandmother once said, “anywhere that stays above 85 degrees through October, is immune to the white after Labor Day rule,” and I couldn’t agree more! That’s why you’ll see me wearing all year around.

Hope you’re having a great week! If you missed it, be sure to mouse on over to my fall beauty update post from earlier this week.

    I live in NY and wore white the other day; whoops! I love that you mixed gingham with the military jacket. Both are very on trend right now and it’s fun to see them in the same outfit.

    I’m loving the gingham and surplus combination that you have going on here! It’s so fresh and trendy but also still fall chic. Army surplus jackets are definitely my favorite!

    It definitely isn’t over 85 in October where I live, I’m sorta jealous! I love the gingham top paired with the olive jacket, so so cute!

    Your Grandmother is a wise woman! I love wearing white in the cooler months! Your military jacket looks great with them 🙂

    I love this! It’s such a great summer-to-fall transition look with the gingham and the olive jacket! I love a nice utility jacket!
