28 WAYS TO WEAR A GREEN TARTAN PUFFER JACKET

This Alpine Pro green puffer is one of my 'go to' pieces when it comes to winter outwear. I spotted this jacket in kids department of a sportswear shop seven ago and was so happy when it fit me. It was an impulsive buy, but one that payed off. Normally, I'm not an impulsive buyer and I prefer to think things through, but when I saw this ski green tartan jacket I knew it was meant to be. I was immediately drawn by its print and colour. I'm not sure how many times I have worn this tartan puffer jacket since I bought it back in 2013, but I'm pretty sure it's more than 30. My goal with all clothes is to hit a minimum of 30 wears. While I browsed my blog archives I found that I have worn this puffer in 26 outfit posts. I added two more outfits I haven't posted before and ended up with number 28. I'm positive that I wore it more than thirty. I don't take photographs of my daily outfits (maybe I should) so I cannot give you an exact number, but this jacket sure payed off. The best thing about it is that I was able to pair and wear it with everything from short to long skirts and dresses to jeans. 

 1. WITH A GREEN VEST, A PAIR OF STRAIGHT CUT JEANS AND BOOTS
My first outfit proposal is winter look I wore for travelling so it is a comfy look one could say.

The cropped cut of this jacket appeals to me as it allows me to show of my skirts and jeans when I wear it. However, when I pair it with jeans in winter sometimes I feel a bit cold. The solution for that problem is to add another layer (like I did here with the long vest) or to wear it with leggings underneath the jeans. I often pair this jacket with jeans. 

2. WITH A WHITE VINTAGE SKIRT, BOOTS AND A PUSSY BOW SHIRT

I said that I often wear this green tartan puffer with jeans and while that is certainly true I also like to pair it with skirts. Bellow you can see me wearing this green jacket with a white vintage skirt and a silk pussy bow shirt. I liked this outfit because it's all about a mix of styles. This puffer jacket is pretty casual so it looks interesting paired with this vintage skirt that was originally a part of a suit. I like to mix casual items with dressier ones. 

3. WITH WHITE DAD SNEAKERS AND BLACK GYM PANTS 
This is a sporty styling I wore for hiking. I often hike from Jelsa to Vrboska on island Hvar. It's an easy 6 kilometer hike, about 12 km both ways and the views are amazing.

4. WITH A PRINTED SKIRT, A BLACK BAG AND HIGH BROWN BOOTS  
Sometimes it is fun to mix printed items. This jacket has a tartan print but that didn't stop me from wearing it with a floral skirt because I like to mix styles. This was such a fun look!

5. WITH FLARE JEANS, A RED HOODIE AND A RED CAP 

This was a very cozy winter styling. I wore a red hoodie under this jacket and even opted for a hat.

6. WITH A MAXI DRESS, HEELED BOOTS AND A STRIPED SWEATER
I loved wearing this outfit because it was so warm and cozy but at the same time feminine and chic.


7.WITH A YELLOW TARTAN SKIRT, SNEAKERS AND A CARAMEL BAG
This yellow tartan skirt is one of my favourite pieces ever. I often pair it with this jacket.

8. WITH A PINK SKIRT, CARAMEL BAG AND GREEN POINTY SHOES

Who says pink and green are too much together? I rather like this combination of colours, it makes me think of nature and flowers. 

9. WITH CARAMEL BOOTS, A PRINTED SKIRT AND A RED BAG

Wearing this ski jacket with skirts is always fun because it is not expected. I loved the outfit with this fancy skirt and camel boots. 

10. WITH VINTAGE HAND PAINTED JEANS, A LEATHER BAG AND A BASKETBALL CAP

Sometimes a basketball hat is all you need. I loved how it added to the casual vibe of this look.

11. WITH LEGGINGS, DR. MARTENS BOOTS AND A BEANIE

This is one of my all time favourites shoots for my blog. I loved how the sun showcased Mostar city in the background. Plus, this outfit was pretty cool. 

12.WITH A RED HOODIE, GYM PANTS AND BLACK SNEAKERS

This was my travelling styling for exploring Padova city in Italy. Fun times. 

13. WITH A BLACK MINI SKIRT, A CAP AND HEELED BOOTS
Another 'Italian' styling and by that I mean I wore this combo for a visit to Monte Cassino monastery in Italy. I loved how this jacket looked with a pencil skirt and heeled boots.

14. WITH A GREEN DRESS, A TURTLENECK AND A FOLKLORE BAG 

This was another winter styling I absolutely loved. Here I paired this jacket with a green dress.

15. WITH HAND PAINTED GREEN HEELED BOOTS, A BLUE BAG AND LEVI'S JEANS

I have so much love for these vintage Levi's. They seem to match everything and this green tartan puffer is no exception. Another thing I love about this outfit are the brown heeled boots I hand painted myself. DIY touches like that always make an outfit extra special.

16. WITH A GREEN SCARF, A BLACK SKATER DRESS AND HEELED BOOTS

How I loved wearing this outfit. This black skater dress matched this puffer so well. The green scarf seemed like the perfect finishing touch. I still remember this winter styling fondly.

17. WITH A PRINTED TEE, A CORD JACKET AND A SKIRT

This was a fun styling that was all about layering. I also really liked the pop of colour with the bag.

18. WITH A TURTLENECK, SAND WIDE TROUSERS, BLACK HEELS AND BAG

Over the years, I have had a lot of fun pairing this jacket with items that didn't seem like an obvious pairing at first. Take this pair of wide sand trousers for example. They were not the obvious choice, but they worked well with this green puffer jacket.

19. WITH A TARTAN SKIRT, WHITE SWEATER AND HIGH HEELED BOOTS

I like how these black pointy heeled boots make this green jacket and yellow skirt pairing more feminine and chic. I always had a soft spot for pointy boots. 

20. WITH FLARE JEANS, GREEN POINTY BOOTIES AND A STRIPED SWEATER

This was another casual styling with a striped sweater, flare jeans and pointy boots. A very functional combo that also felt good. What more could one wish for?

21. WITH A WHITE PENCIL SKIRT, HIGH BOOTS AND A LILAC SWEATER

This was another time I paired this puffer jacket with a white vintage skirt and I quite liked the contrast. The boots were there for warmth and they proved very comfortable too. 

22. WITH JEANS, BIKER BOOTS AND A BACKPACK

I haven't shared this outfit before. As you can see, this is a look I wore for a catamaran ride.

23. WITH A BLACK MAXI DRESS AND BLUE OXFORD SHOES 

Besides vintage white skirts, I also enjoy pairing this green jacket with my black vintage dress. 

24. WITH A TARTAN MINI SKIRT AND BROWN BOOTS 

Another yellow and green combo, this time with a touch of black. I layered a black sweater dress underneath this yellow tartan skirt for warmth. A winning winter outfit for sure!

25. WITH JEANS, AN OVERSIZE SCARF AND A BLACK BAG

Another hiking styling I wore while exploring Jelsa on island Hvar. I love this scarf so much.

26. WITH A WHITE MAXI SKIRT, A GREEN SCARF AND BLACK SNEAKERS
When I visited Rome back in 2013, I had paired this green jacket with a white maxi skirt and sneakers. Perhaps it wasn't the most flattering of outfits, but it was warm and functional.

27. WITH A BLACK TRACK SUIT AND SNEAKERS

This might be the first outfit with this jacket I posted on my blog back in 2013. This green jacket is almost as old as my blog actually. I'm happy I still have and wear it.

28. WITH VINTAGE LEVI'S, HEELED BOOTS AND A PINK BAG

I'll finish this post with another outfit I loved wearing, a combination of vintage Levi's, a lilac sweater and heeled boots. The pink bag was also a nice colour contrasts. It can be so refreshing to wear girly colour in winter, don't you agree?

As always, thank you for reading and visiting. Have a great weekend!
