Dear Dotty,
Fall is in the air! The first jacket of the season is officially out. I haven’t given up on lightweight things yet– we’ll see how far into winter this Art Nouveau dress will take me.
- Forever 21 jacket (this season’s) and dress (current!)
- Cole Haan Air Tali wedges (this season’s version)
- Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM
- Burberry sunglasses (current)

It’s taken me a long time to get into the military-inspired trend. I actually purchased this jacket back in December in anticipation of spring and fall. I did wear it for spring and now here it is in fall. Next time I think I’ll try it with a downtown style black dress.

Gorgeous dress…I love the print, rich color palette, and embellishments! And pairing it with a rugged military jacket was perfect!

I love the pattern on this dress- so pretty. Also, something is different about your blog, right? In the footer area?
Mia says
Yes, good. I like this combination and don’t have more interesting words to say that. You could wear this jacket with the Anthro maxi dress from earlier, too!
Tanya says
Wow, I am drooling for your dress, I really love the print of a dress. The jacket is too cute.

I can’t believe your dress is from F21! Looks so much more high end than that. Nice find, lady!

Alex, I adore this dress! I can’t believe it is F21! You make it looks as if it is Jonathan Saunders Or Dolce! fabulous Pic! Love it paired with the olive drab jacket. I can certainly see this going into winter with tights-boots- and cardi.

oH IT WILL take you far, Alex, I love the print on that dress! I can imagine you wearing it with tights for the winter!
lyddiegal says
I hate it when I buy something and then skip an entire season I could be wearing it, for no apparent reason.
I hope you get a lot more use out of this jacket, and this dress, which I completely adore. because prints are always my weakness!
Alexandra Shook says
Yeah I only wore this jacket two or three times in the spring… oops? Although I did intend to have it tailored, and then clearly didn’t…
elle sees says
i love how the jacket tones down the dress, making it wearable anytime!
Alexandra Shook says
Yes! This dress is crazy. It’s good alone in the summer, but during fall– jacket required!
kileen says
i love the print of this dress and it’s perfect for fall when layered with the military jacket!
