There is a lot of combat and safari inspired items around but it can be difficult to wear without looking like GI Jane. This silk and cotton bubble dress from Miss Selfridge is the perfect balance of feminine and combat. Would look great on its own with gladiator sandals or over jeans for cooler days.
I love dresses with slouchy pockets, seems to make it easier to dress it down. The tie detail means you can adjust the 'bubble' shape of the skirt. It's £30 from Miss Selfridge online.
