pre-fall inspiration 2010

Since military surplus is such a huge push for fall, I thought I'd showcase the different ways in which this look can be achieved. It has the power to toughen any look and, as you can see, pretty much anybody can do this. Leigh Lezark (who is the new face of DKNY -- YAY!!) offers her icy-cool stare with a zip-up army dress and matching scarf.  

Olivia glams her jacket up with a fur vest, while our Urban model prefers a fur-trimmed field jacket with preppy knee socks and heritage boots. Yes, Olivia is on here twice. Yes, she is annoying on 'The City.' Ugh, yes, I watch the show sometimes. But I do love how she belts the jacket. Alessandria's skinny cargo pants are a more subtle take on the trend. No real work required, and they go nicely with probably anything you have.  

I need Photoshop really bad.
