I noticed recently on The Clothes Horse that Rebecca has been carrying her vintage black Coach bag. I’ve been looking for a black bag… and then I remembered that I have the Station bag, too. While it won’t go with all of my outfits, I’m enjoying its classic style.
The Station bag is one of the classic styles available on the Coach Classics page (how are you supposed to bookmark with the pop up layout?), but I’m sure it would be easy to find on Etsy as well. I’m also a fan of the Court bag. Too bad most Coach stores don’t carry the classics, I’d like to see it in person.
This is a new skirt! I got it at the Alexander Wang sample sale, and I bought the matching jacket too. It’s a casual fabric, so basically I have a little suit that sort of feels like loungewear. Both jacket and skirt are from the T line but I did get a dress from the flagship line. It’s very similar to the dress I already have. What can I say, I’m a creature of habit.

totally random to be commenting – but i know figured out how to bookmark the popup – click the share on twitter button and then steal that url – it will link to the page and the correct popup. and for some reason they are now calling that the willis bag.

Seriously loving this look and the fact that we both now have vintage Coach bags we can pull out … and they look totally modern! The knotted tee looks sooo good on you!

I’ve become a huge fan of the knotted everything in the past few weeks! Including the knotted hair, apparently. All these storms on the east coast! Might be wearing my hair pulled up for all the events this week.

I love how you have knotted the tee- it makes the tee a little more fancy but the skirt a little more casual. they meet in the middle, perfect!
Alex Elizabeth says
Thanks! The knot is something I’ve been doing lately after seeing it on so many bloggers.
Kristin & Megan says
That bag is definitely a classic and I love the tee too!
Katy Rose says
This skirt is a great sample sale find. And don’t you just love the knotted shirt look? It’s so easy to do and so fun. – Katy
Alex Elizabeth says
Yes, I do like the knotted shirt. I only just started doing it but I see it happening frequently in the future!

Love this outfit.
From the knotted tee, to the classic coach to the new skirt.
But, pray tell, what exactly is the “casual fabric?”
Alex Elizabeth says
It’s a cotton/synth blend. Mysteriously dry clean only. It’s very unstructured and not a usual suit fabric.
Lyddiegal says
I love the classic bags. They are infinitely better than anything new and covered in logos.
I love the zipper on the back of the skirt. I have a pencil skirt with an exposed zipper, maybe I should try spinning it around to the back…
Alex Elizabeth says
There’s really only one brand I’ll tolerate logos from and I have no idea why that particular one. Otherwise I tend to stay away from them.
I want to pull the skirt down my waist (it always rides up) and try unzipping it an inch or two for a fake kick pleat!
