Army Green
Ben Sherman Jacket, French Connection Dress, Martin + Osa Necklace, Michael Kors Watch, Vintage Lanvin Glasses, Hue Tights, Steve Madden Booties, Vintage Clutch
On Saturday night we had two birthday parties to attend so I needed an outfit that could easily transition from a formal gathering to a rowdy bar. I figured some sort of updo would be best since my hair has gotten to a point that it’s far too long to wear down without offending people with my split ends. It also worked for the long ride down to Irvine since I undoubtedly fall asleep anytime I’m in a car for more than half an hour and it didn’t get messed up with the braids piled on top of my head.

How did you do your hair?
Those Steve Madden booties are unbelievable. And I love that you can do that to your hair. My hair is so uncooperative.

Hot! And fantastic accessories – the vintage sunglasses and shoes are gorgeous.

Your hair looks amazing.

I agree; I absolutely adore your hair! I’ve never been able to manage it on my own.. It would be a great addition to the ‘How to’ section!
The hair and the shoes are wonderful!
I love the hair!
Wow, I love you braids! And that army green looks great on you!
I fall asleep any time I am in the car for more than 30 minutes too. Thankfully, my husband doesn’t mind!
What a fabulous look. Love, love, love your hair!
Love it, your sunglasses are so cute!
http://www.hellomypretties.blogspot.com
love the glasses and the clutch. i’m hardcore in a vintage mode right now (let’s be honest, i’ve been in it since i was 15). the right vintage pieces can totally jazz up any outfit to get that one of a kind look. just posted this amazing vintage dress i picked up here in park slope the other day. would look ubercute with some vintage sunglasses like yours!
http://www.lovelifeandlollipops.com/2010/04/buy-sell-trade/
You look amazing!
I LOVE this look! My favourite in a while. Your jacket is so cool…and your hair is beautiful. Maybe a how-to in the future?
Great hairstyle.
LOVE IT!! LOOOOOOOVE IT, Em!! Can you do my hair like that when you come?! Because when I do braids, they come out looking like a kindergardener, and yours look so chic and effortless. The boys can, like, drink beers or something while you do your fancy work. OK, it’s set then
hehe
I’d die for those shoes! Absolutely gorgeous!
love the piled high braids
I absolutely LOVE your shoes.
this whole look really! looooveit! xx
http://www.olivia-parker.blogspot.com
Love it!
I’ve been looking for an army jacket like that – love yours! And always love those booties

Loooove this outfit! You look awesome
Love that jacket!
Really great outfit! I wish I had your ability to walk in those shoes — I can’t seem to handle balancing in anything above a 3″ heel!!
They look fierce!

LOVE how you did your hair!
Your hair style looks mighty sweet girrrrrrrl..
Love your jaket!!
your hair is adorable.
This is a great look! I like the pop of color your sunglasses add to the outfit.
very pretty, i love your hair style and your shoes!!

Love the braid, is it done by your own hair or is it one of those braid headbands ?
http://claudetteatelier.blogspot.com/
it cries for a “how to” post!!!!!!
Oh, I’m in love, no, obsessed with your braids. So want to try that.
And yes, please to christina’s request to a “how to” post. Pretty please.
I would LOVE for you to do a “How To” on the hairstyle you’re wearing in this photo!!

loveee your outfit. All those neutral colors are my faves. The red sunglasses add a nice splash!!
You always look pretty, but I also love your hair. Do you have any tips on where to buy fake braids (my hair is entirely too thin to pull off big pretty braids like that)? Thanks, love your blog!
I love your booties!!!
How do you do those braids? I’ve been trying lately, but I’ve never been able to do (I always blame it on my haircut, not my inability to actually braid my hair).
I love your hair!
http://www.smartprettyandawkward.com
That’s one hair style I’d love to try or at least playing with braided styles.
ps. You should definitely try the lace top floral combo thing. (doesn’t have to be leggings.).

What I would give for your locks! Mine are baby fine and would never do that do justice. And so loving the jacket. I found a cute one with puffy sleeves at Zara a few weeks ago. You’ve just given me an idea’r. Thanks Emily!
Love your hair!!!!!! I really need to learn how to do that.

The booties are KILLER.
Love it all! Would love a “how to” post on the hair!
PS- I too fall asleep if in the car for more than 30 minutes. Glad to see I am not alone!
I also tend to crash on car rides! And I’m completely obsessed with your jacket and watch — lovely as usual!

I do the same thing on long car rides. I love your braids and the army green jacket.
The updo lookes great! I am not so good at doing stuff like this to my hair. But i think it would come in handy in the windy city (Chicago)! You look great
You look gorgeous as usual! I love the way you put this outfit together and LOVE the braid!
Those braids are so cute! Too bad my hair isn’t long enough yet to try that out… I’m saving up
http://blondesinthecity.blogspot.com
my favorite part of this outfit would have to be the red sunglasses. they really pop up against the “army green”. and i STILL love those booties. i couldn’t find them in any stores that weren’t online. hopefully someone will come out with a similar pair soon.

“it’s far too long to wear down without offending people with my split ends.” amen, sister! now if only we could get a shot on the back or maybe even a ‘how to.’ cause goodness, we all know how horrific i would look if i attempted that look without direction.
Too cute! Love that hairstyle for the windy days of Spring too!
I picked out some really cute feminine pieces for Spring today–check them out!

Your hair looks amazing – you must do a “how to” in the coming weeks! You are seriously my hair inspiration, right now mine is about shoulder length (not fun). I can’t wait until it’s long enough to actually DO things with.

the lavins are amazing!
Seriously love doing my hair like that as well! Makes such a nice pillow for naps, no?

So cute! This jacket looks a lot like one I have from Gap, reminds me of something you would showcase on a “save or splurge?” type article. Either way, great outfit!
