I don't know what i've been told

Military is back. Ironically Miss Cole when starting her solo career was an amazing example of this uniform style live on the X factor. If you missed this controversial outfit choice that must have amounted to atleast 2 hours worth of verbal communication in my life here it is below-
In my opinion *deep breaths* I like it. All of it. Possibly not together for your average night out... But, what's not to like? Balmain (or atleast Balmain inspired) trousers from this season appearing like Harem pants here (with your run of the mill tears down the side...) revealing those thigh tattoos that were so well covered up during the Girls Aloud days. Unleashing a sense of freedom, a visual metaphor for Cheryl's breaking free.

Above is Balmain's slit jersey crystal button harem trouser. Another component you can't hate? The military jacket. She looks amazing in it with that tiny frame and the oversized shoulders(oh so this season) do wonders to dwarf that tiny waist of hers more. And for the rest of us remember 2005. Primark's upward hill to 'necessity visited store', a Vogue feature. That military jacket! We all had it, if not we all wanted it. Or a copy. A copy of a Primark wonder. We'd be a hypocritical nation to make judgement on Cheryl's military choice.
Above are the military jackets that sold out in record time from Primark. The visual metaphor to contradict the breaking free, it shows uniform and need for others in a similar situation. Last main component is the cutaway top. Sure it's risque and Cheryl passed judgement on that girl group on the show for their overly 'sexy' outfits and that makes her pretty unfair but the top worked in a 'this season' style, albeit party girl style such as that seen in Herve Leger collections. And similar to Serena Van der Woodsen's wardrobe(see first post).
Above Herve Leger dress. And the best component in Cheryl's outfit? Those lovely dimples that differentiate her.
