Dear Dotty,
Of course, right after I took these photos the sun came out. Story of my photography life. I’ve been in a bit of a vintagey mood lately and wanting to wear big skirts all the time. The ones that come right to my knees are so much easier to wear than my miniskirts.
Though most of these pieces are current, I did add in a few vintage ones like the jacket and jewelry.

I see all the little details and I love them.
Kimberlee VDW says
Love the mix of vintage and new – that skirt is adorable!
Mia says
Whoaaaa, I love how the tails of the cardigan interact with the chevron on the skirt. Rad! The blue top + red lips ain’t half bad, neither.
Alex Elizabeth says
Chevrons abound in this outfit! The lipstick is MAC Russian Red, a recent purchase. It’s a little dark, but I like it a lot.
Caitlin says
What a seriously great skirt! I love the twist on chevrons. :)
Alex Elizabeth says
It looks like I was on my way to a chevron party… there are a lot of chevrons in this outfit!
Sarah With A Bow says
That skirt is incredible!

I love that skirt, Alex! and goodness, that cardigan is soooo drool-worthy! I love the back details! I actually think these photos are perfect!
Kristin & Megan says
That skirt is just beautiful!
Kelsey says
It’s our skirt again!!! =D I love it. I can’t wait to rediscover it when I unpack everything!
You look beautiful! I love this outfit. It’s so classic… and classy!
Alex Elizabeth says
Thanks! I liked this one a lot, and the location was definitely perfect, too.
christine says
what a cute outfit. I especially love the skirt. I am really liking full skirts lately too.
Nnenna says
That Anthro skirt is so pretty! And you’re right- we definitely need to grab Jamillah one day and take pictures in Stuyvesant Town!
Alex Elizabeth says
Yes! It’s like a forest, but still the city. Totally cool.
bravoerunway says
I love that cardigan, the design in the back with the lace up is gorgeous. I also love the skirt, Alex you have a lot of great pieces in your closet! I had some terribly strong sunshine this weekend which was awful for photos. I tried to take pictures without sunnies and it was hard and I blinked/squinted alot.
Alex Elizabeth says
Oh, if I’m in direct sunlight then forget it– the sunglasses stay on. Either that or you have to do the 3-2-1 countdown: 3-2-1 open your eyes as wide as you can for the photo! Except with that you’ll be seeing stars afterwards.
Lyddiegal says
I love how you’ve got this subtle chevron design element on each of the pieces, and that skirt is so very pretty.
And i hate it when the sun starts playing mind games with me and my photography.
Alex Elizabeth says
This outfit was basically a huge mess of chevrons. I think I wore every chevron piece in my closet, except for a different blue shirt I have… but wearing two shirts probably would have been awkward, haha.
