Sorry I’m so boring. All I have for you today is another black Alexander Wang dress. Sometimes I think you’ll get tired of me wearing the same things all the time and then you won’t come and visit any more. I can’t help it though, I don’t think I’d mind at all if my entire wardrobe consisted of black draped jersey dresses. They certainly are becoming a staple– I’m up to three now.
I’ll try and hold your interest with photos of some details, like the chain of this vintage necklace down my back and the draping on my dress. I pulled my hair back a little, too.
Also, apparently I only wear one belt now. What is wrong with me. Ugh, tomorrow I’m going to wear pink tights, I swear.
I’m wearing my Alexander Wang dress (S/S 2011), J Jill cardigan, Forever 21 belt, MIA boots, vintage necklace (Brooklyn Flea), and Helmut Lang coat. And of course you remember the story of the free bag (Dana Buchman for Kohl’s).

OMG, YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HOOD!!!! Seriously, I’m laughing out loud because I can’t believe you do this. Black is always chic if you want to wear black all the time go ahead girl!
Caitlin says
Black is your thing! It’s definitely not boring at all – plus, having three AW dresses doesn’t hurt, either. I’m so jealous of all three!
Alex Elizabeth says
I love my dresses :) Two are sample sale and one end of season clearance. Only way to get them, retail is astronomical.

The black and white photos are so effective, maybe I should try it sometime.

I love black and white photos! A long time ago when I was first thinking of starting blogging I considered making this an entirely black and white photo blog.
Tara says
Black and white pictures look fabulous! I must try this sometime! Love all the draping going on here!
Alex Elizabeth says
Ohh yeah I forgot to tell you, if you black and white photos taken in low light it often improves them. I do it all the time with indoor shots. A light low-contrast sepia works well, too.
Rolala says
That’s a great dress! The draping detail is so flattering on you.
Thanks for entering to win one of my prints on A Very Sweet Blog! Good luck!

I love this dress Alex :) And black is chic and I really like the draping on this outfit! We have a tendency to reach for our favorite pieces :)

I’m pretty sure the annoyance we feel at always wearing the same thing is more of an issue for ourselves than anyone else. I wouldn’t have pointed out that you’ve worn this dress or belt a million times, because these photos are new and different and you still look fab.
Also, you will have two new skirts in your possession very soon.
Alex Elizabeth says
Yayyyyy skirts! I’m in such desperate need of separates. I feel like I do wear things more often than the average style blogger, though. Oh well.
Loren Cline says
You can keep wearing black draped jersey dresses as long as you still look great in them. :)
Alex Elizabeth says
If they ever start looking terrible you’ll tell me, right? I try to change them up a little bit every time I wear them, although I think I’m running out of new ways.
Megan Zietz says
that dress is stunning.
