Playing with this scarf is fun! It’s very soft and floaty, but still warm. These are some more photos from before, when there were still leaves on the trees and it wasn’t flooding. Sad that it’ll be months and months until the leaves grow back.
I put my hair up for the first time in a while. I actually don’t mind it up, but I do feel like it makes anything I’m wearing about eleventy billion times more formal. What do you think, too much? Although the formal air is not as pronounced when I’m wearing pants. In a dress or skirt, however… I often feel too done.
And yes, that’s a leaf in my hair. I’ve recently been bringing things from outside inside, like pine cones and the wispy tails of tall grass that I find lying on the ground. And somehow that evolved to wearing nature in my hair. I’m a weirdo.
Oh wait, one more thing! I want to share this Feminist Fashion Bloggers post by Ekaterina Sedia. It’s the best piece I’ve read all month.
…and Happy Thanksgiving, U.S. readers!
Gap blazer, xhilaration/Target shirt (swapped), Martine’s Dream scarf (Brooklyn Flea), J Brand jeans, Born boots, Coach bag, and a yellow leaf.
I really like this outfit, the scarf works so well with your striped top. You look nice with your hair pinned up, you should do that more often!
LOVE this outfit, Alex! The striped top with the blazer is really, really cute! I actually don’t think your hair looks too formal at all. I love it — it looks casually chic, particularly with the beeeeautiful golden leaf in your hair!
Thanks! This striped top and blazer is one of my favorite combinations now. Happy Thanksgiving!
I always feel like I’m being lazy by putting my hair up… well, because I am. So always have that disconnect when people think that pulled back hair = formal.
Of course it’s all in the styling, I know!
That scarf does look so pretty floating in the wind, and i love your striped top!
Yes, hair up is a lazy hairstyle for me, too. I often do French twists, but this one is just pinned up, something I invented during college. I still feel formal though.
You look stunning in this outfit, and your hair is to die for! Your pictures are just becoming more and more beautiful with each post. Happy Thanksgiving!
These are golden hour, that’s why they look good. And there are pretty leaves, too. I’ve been trying to get nicer backgrounds lately. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
Alex, this is such a beautiful post. I love your hair up and the picture with the leaf in your hair is gorgeous. It’s so beautiful how the wind is blowing your scarf. Dreamy! Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks! I got a serious of photos with really good lighting during the golden hour, but lately it’s been so overcast :( Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
