I love this re-creation! I'm definitely on the military bandwagon. That jacket is super cute.

Love the look! Do you gave any plus size options for the band jacket?

Hi Michele, thanks for the question. Think SimplyBe jacket would look amazing - it's a little steep at $124 but maybe you could wait for a discount/promotion:

Love the jacket--great find BB! More exciting than Kenzo X HM? Haven't seen you talking about the new H&M collection.

Glad we got to chat on Twitter! I did buy a silk scarf as I mentioned... Not much else was speaking to me but I appreciated the collection from a design standpoint. Glad you got the blouses you wanted! xo

I immediately bought the scarf set - irresistible price! I already own two striking Ralph Lauren band jackets, obtained freakishly cheap during Macy's sales. A band jacket look is several steps beyond the usual blazer.

Amazing! And I'm sure a Ralph Lauren band jacket doesn't really go out of style, it's how you style it that will keep it looking fresh seasons to come.
