Dear Francy,
I pretty much bolted out of New York with jeans, a trench coat and my computers… so my outfits lately have been interesting. Why yes, I’ll wear this hot house floral dress when it’s 40 degrees and dropping. I made no tights until November, though! These are the first tights of the season. Black, of course, although they reverse to grey. Good move on Sara Blakely’s part.

I’m enjoying the leaves, which actually aren’t too nice in New York this year. Too much extreme weather, I guess. The pinecones seem to have dropped really early as they’re everywhere underfoot.

I think we have precisely one tree in town that’s doing the proper fall thing, but it sure is a pretty tree. All the other trees are just dropping their leaves, which are at least fun to run over with my bike! Crunch-crunch-crunch-crunch.
I don’t have too many winter-specific dresses, which means I’m trying to come up with fun ways to style my sundresses for cold weather. I’ve definitely already worn tights a bunch this year, though, because I’m a wimp.

I feel like I didn’t get much of a proper fall thing this year. I don’t mind tights, but I always always try to do no tights for as long as I can. Think I’ll make it to January one year? Haha.

I love this outfit. I also have a soft spot for that print on that dress. I loved seeing that print at H&M this summer; now I wish I would have picked one up!
Alex Elizabeth says
I picked it up late in the season from the clearance rack and was way on the fence about the print for a long time, but it’s actually become a closet staple. I did not think that at all when I first got it.
I’ve seen some things left in this print at H&M in New York in the past month, so maybe there are still a few left floating around. You might score one on super sale!

Tights season is upon us! That’s a gorgeous bag :)
Francy says
Love this post, I’ve been wearing tights since September, not sure how you made it so long without them!! Hope your back in the city for good soon!
Alex Elizabeth says
I hope so too so we can properly get together! I feel like I can’t make any plans lately because everything is too undecided :(
Nnenna says
Me too, no tights until this past Monday! And that lip color is great on you :)

I love the sound of reversible tights!! This is a great outfit that can go from day to night…
brett says

Target! They’re Assets by Sara Blakely. I mostly just wear the black, but these are nicer than the ones that are only one color. A little thicker and they wear better.
Lyddiegal says
Yet this looks totally appropriate for fall, and damn these plummeting temps! How long do you think it will be before you return to the city?
Alex Elizabeth says
I’ll go back tomorrow morning. Not sure what to expect… I won’t be there for long though. Still displaced.
Hope Shores says
Reversible tights…genius. Your Coach Legacy is so pretty! I really want one of the colorblock ones…
Alex Elizabeth says
I really want a hot pink one, and a yellow one, and a blue one, and a… you can see where this is going, right?
