They’re everywhere lately. What do you think of the bomber jacket trend? I have mixed feelings. It’s (usually) a practical, hearty jacket. But on the other hand, it tends to add a bit of bulk. I’m trying out the trend with this thrift store find.
Outfit details: bomber jacket – Volcom (thrifted), black distressed jeans – Joe’s Jeans, suede booties – Vince Camuto, plain white tee – Old Navy, studded clutch – Urban Expressions (Nordstrom Rack), sunglasses – Smoke x Mirrors via Ditto Endless Eyewear. (Have you tried Ditto’s Endless Eyewear program? An endless supply of designer on trend sunglasses to borrow for only $24 a month! Use the code FASHIONFUN to try it for one month for free!)

So I have a project in mind for this bomber. I’m going to try adding a few patches. We’ll see how that goes. Usually when it comes to projects like this I’m all enthusiasm with no patience, which leads to some wacky results. I’ll keep ya posted.
This week I had the hardest time picking only three looks to feature. You gals are bringing it big time!

I like the bomber jacket on you! I like that it doesn't seem to be too bulky… And I like the color on you!
Have a fabulous weekend!
Thanks Andrea! 🙂

I laughed when you talked about your future project with this bomber jacket—I so know that feeling—great intentions, and dreams but the reality is different! Can't wait to see it though! jodie

thanks for hosting!!
Hee …. if nothing else the patched jacket will make a "fun" post! LOL. 🙂
A bomber jacket just gives such a casual cool vibe, love how you styled yours & these are great picks!! Have a great long weekend Dawn Lucy!

Thanks so much, Marta! 🙂
This is definitely a jacket for someone tall and slim… But hey, that's you! And your accessories and heels also help make the jacket more modern and less an 80's flashback. As far as I'm concerned, this is one trend I will pass (since I'm neither tall nor slim and a bomber would make me look twice my size…)
It's a tougher one to pull off than I thought, so I don't blame you skipping this trend! 🙂
That jacket looks awesome, it will look even more amazing with the patches I'm sure! 🙂
Thank you for the link up!

Thanks Mica! 🙂
Your jacket seems thinner than most and I like the authentic military vibe it offers. So cool you found this thrifting! I am looking forward to seeing the patch project 🙂
It will be interesting! 😉 Thanks Jennie! 🙂
I have two bomber jackets and I should get more use out of them .. they are sort of hanging in the closet. I think I prefer a suit style jacket a bit better on me 🙂
You look super cute .. !!
Monica.
Suit style jackets are more flattering for sure, but hey, now is the time to pull out those bomber jackets and wear them! 🙂
Wow, you look amazing in this bomber! I have to second Andrea's comment, especially since I just watched Top Gun again the other day! Good luck with the patches!

The jacket looks great!!

Thank you for your lovely link up and Happy Easter.

Love your ootd Dawn Lucy. Its a bit on the softer side. You are right. Mine is all neoprene and quite bulky but short. So works for me. Love your picks here: especially the black ones by Topshop and Urban outfitters! Happy Easter to San José <3 Sabina
I love those too. Happy Easter to Germany, Sabina! 🙂
woohoo! Thanks for featuring me on the blog today :-)….And I love your shoes!

Love your Chanel-inspired look here, Moumous! 🙂
I di like bomber jackets but I have to be so careful that they're not too masculine (with my pixie short crop!). I do like yours because, as you say, its not too bulky. I love the way you've styled it!

Thanks Suzy. I bet it would look adorable on you, chic pixie cut and all! 🙂
You are rocking that bomber jacket look!
Thanks Laura! 🙂
I can't believe you found a bomber jacket at a thrift store when they are so popular right now! Lucky you! I think you look great in yours. I would like to try a bomber jacket. I like that they are not stiff. I usually feel so uncomfortable in jackets and blazers because my back is wider than the rest of me and they never seem to fit right. I don't care for the heavily embroidered bomber jackets, but I like the simpler ones.
I found it about a month ago and I'm thinking maybe I just barely got it before all the fashionista thrifters went looking for one … maybe? Or yeah, I probably just lucked out! ;P
I really like the bomber jacket; patches or not! If it was me, it would never see a patch because like you I might have a few brilliant ideas, but my problem is the follow through and the lack of skill…lol! Happy Easter break!

Oh me too … this "project" will probably end up being a good laugh. But the bomber was dirt cheap and … hey … why not?! ;P
Cute bomber jacket! I can't wait to see what you do with it!

What a great find! I love bomber jackets. I recently bought a pink one! They remind me of the 80s, so much fun! Have a great weekend!

Love your pink one, Cathy! 🙂
I've been rather "on the fence" about the bomber jacket trend, dearest Dawn…but this military green thrifted find of yours?? I think it's made me a convert!! Can't wait to see it all decked out in patches, too…you go girl!! ;D P.S. Sending Happy Easter wishes your way!! XOXO
http://www.StyleIsMyPudding.com
Happy Easter to you too, my dear! I'm on the fence with it still, but … I did feel pretty cool wearing it. And all the Top Gun comments are making me smile! 😀
Dawn Lucy your bomber jacket is the bomb… haha, see what I did there!! ;))
It looks really classic with the B&W, this is my kinda casual outfit!
It's not a style I've thought of buying, and I don't think I wore them first time around but I do rather like them. I think that an embroidered one might take my eye one day… We shall see!!
Thank you for hosting, have a great Easter weekend!

Hi Dawn
I love the look of the olive bomber especially with your black jeans. Nice! I know what you mean, at one point i thought about making jewelry and I just dont have the patience. Just take your time. 🙂
