This look is a reader's request...

Victoria Beckham has channeled a different kind of "spice" from the rack with this military inspired look. You too can have this look and for less than what "Posh" paid for her sunglasses.

The great thing about this look is that most of the pieces are closet staples, so it's okay to spend a bit more on them. The gray jacket can also be worn with a skirt or dress pants for a work appropriate ensemble. Having a nice pair of darker washed straight washed jeans is something every closet should have as well; wear them with heels, flats, or tuck them into boots and you have three completely different denim looks.

The accessories are the fun part of the outfit but they can also be worked into other outfits. A waist-cinching belt works great with little dresses, jackets, and even tee shirts. Sunglasses are an everyday must-have as they can hide many sins (late night out, lack of mascara). Having a simple black hat can save you from a bad hair day and it can freshen up a boring look.
