Dear Silvergirl,
It’s been so incredibly windy here. How about near you? I didn’t realize it at the time, but I have my eyes closed in every photo I took. I really need to see about getting some non-prescription glasses to keep things from getting in my eyes. If I don’t you’re going to think I’m asleep in every photo.
Everything I’m wearing is monochrome except for this shirt, a really brilliant blue that I love. I told you I was working on color in my wardrobe :) I got this jacket a few weeks ago and decided it would be a perfect outerwear piece for spring. It cost $26 during one of Ann Taylor’s clearances (down from $248) so there was no way I was leaving without it. I don’t love the snaps though, so I might remove them and have someone create a button where the third one is. No way I could do a sewing project that complicated.
I’m wearing my new Ann Taylor jacket, Vince shirt (lighter color), Gap leather skirt, HUE tights (I think), and Stuart Weitzman Forsure pumps.
I haven’t heard too much from you lately but I’m hoping you’re completely better! Sending some wellness vibes your way!
Loren Cline says
Oh wow! I basically love this jacket.
I think I would want to change out those big snaps too though.
I did not know that Ann Taylor clearanced things out so cheaply. I will have to watch their sales.
Alex Elizabeth says
Yes they definitely do! You may hve to wait a while though. I passed up this jacket twice on the sale rack because I thought it was still too much.
Caitlin says
This entire outfit is so chic, and that color of blouse looks stunning on you! For $26, I’m glad you didn’t leave the store without that jacket. What a steal! What color nail polish are you wearing?
Alex Elizabeth says
I actually thought this outfit was sort of boring and almost didn’t post it. I purposefully decided against jewelry or accessories but was kind of like ehhh when I saw the photos on computer. I did like it a lot though, so expect to see a bit of an evolution sometime in the future. This polish is a Zoya color from the mirrors collection, although I can’t remember the name. It’s a plummy purple.
Caitlin says
I’m so glad you posted this because it’s one of my favorite looks of yours!
Alamodeetplus says
$26 for that amazing jacket?? Girl you stole this! :)
It’s been a while! How are things going?
Alex Elizabeth says
Pretty good, how about you? I hope you can come to New York again soon, or that I have the opportunity to head your way this spring!
Bravoerunway says
I love this jacket, and what an awesome price! $26??? Love the leather skirt too, I don’t mind the snaps..just like you didn’t think the patch pockets were totally odd :)
Alex Elizabeth says
Yeah it’s totally weird what bothers us sometimes is completely unnoticeable to other people, isn’t it? I can’t believe I got such a good price on this jacket either… waiting really paid off in this case!
Lyddiegal says
the snaps are odd, but i do love the cut and the zipper pockets.
If you have a sewing machine, button holes are actually absurdly simple.
Alex Elizabeth says
I have a handheld sewing machine….
I’m thinking that doesn’t actually count.
Lyddiegal says
Not unless it has a setting for button holes.
And does that really work? I always laugh when I see the tv infomercial with the woman sewing curtains while they are on the windows…
Alex Elizabeth says
My father wants me to go get fabric and make him something. I don’t know what he plans on using the sewing machine for, but he wants to know if it works. I’m inclined to say it’s for straight seams only.
Kristin & Megan says
Loving the color addition!
brett says

Thanks! I love this blue too!
