Talk about my new favorite scarf! The new arrival featured from Amazing Lace today is this perfect stars and stripes scarf. Immediately when I saw it, I gasped. I have wanted one so bad and for only $12 it can be yours too! I thought of many ways I could style it, but as soon as I remembered a purchase I made a couple months ago, I knew exactly what to wear. In the Collierville Square here in Memphis, there is an army surplus store that William likes to visit every once and a while. So, as a fun event for us, we went snooping! Everything I would pick out would be way too big and a men's piece. May I remind you that most of these are real vintage pieces used by the military. All of a sudden, something caught my eye. How? I do not know, considering everything is the same color in the racks, and it all blends together. I picked it up and out came the only women's piece I could find, and it fit perfectly. It is a women's Class A Jacket, and I most definitely wear it with pride. It was only appropriate to match this scarf with this Americana piece. I opted for just a white $15 Forever 21 dress as the backdrop and added a little sparkle and glam to it with a Target glitter belt. As in love as I am with my Amazing Lace bracelet, I decided to go for shoot #2 with it! And, finally, for the shoes, I went with a taupe-ish colored bootie to kind of give it the essence as maybe military-styled boots. Though, of course they are not, I felt the color and toughness of them with this outfit really brought the whole vibe together. I would like to say God bless all our veterans and present soldiers of the United States of America, and thank you for all you do for this country! Make sure to grab this stars and stripes scarf before it quickly sells out to add an extra fabulous fashion piece to your closet and some American pride!
