Alexander Wang Dress and Studs at Lincoln Center


Dear Silvergirl,

I did not get photographed by any photographers, unless it was very stealthily. This is the full outfit from this post with all my blogger friends. I just keep on wearing this dress. Everyone has probably seen it about fifty times, so I try to keep it interesting. This season I modified it a little and gave it one sort-of sleeve, but it’s the same favorite Alexander Wang dress from Sun Showers, Waterfront Sunset, and Going South for the Winter.

Black and Nude in the Spring


Dear Dotty,

If only there wasn’t a paved road back there… then I could pretend that this was an actual forest. These are the first outfit photos I took with the Sony Alpha Nex-5N.
