Dear Silvergirl,
Have you worn your pink skirt yet? It twirls so well! However, the stripes of my shirt are definitely visible through it in some photos (eek!), so beware of patterns.
I caught the light at such a beautiful time. The sunsets have been really nice lately, so I’ve taken to walking around 5 or so most days. Well, at least as long as the weather permits.
I’m wearing my Ann Taylor shirt, Old Navy skirt, Forever 21 belt, Betsey Johnson tights, Stuart Weitzman Forsure pumps.

I love this twirl-worthy skirt! It looks so great with your signature black.
I need a twirlable skirt in my life. That or I just need to learn how to properly twirl. That skirt is gorgeous, Alex. gorgeous.
Favorite outfit ever. I’m not even kidding. I’m going to be pinning this at least twice on my boards. Everything about this is great – the stripes, the pleats, the color!
It’s a favorite of mine as well. I’ve got to wear this shirt more often!
You know, when I first think of “Alex” I think of someone who (very stylishly) wears mostly black, but then I look back through your blog and realize there’s a lot of color there too! What a great pink, and what a great first photo–the light is gorgeous and you look so serene (a talent I have yet to master in my own twirling photos).
Yes, there is actually quite a lot of color (mostly yellow and pink)… though not lately. I think I get the best twirl photos when I don’t look at the camera. My expression seems a lot less odd when I close my eyes or look at my feet.
How pretty!!! Loving your pink skirt- it makes me so cheery happy! And the stripes are a perfect little touch to this cute look! You look exceptionally lovely!
Good luck!

This skirt is really fun to wear. I wish I’d gotten it in another color as well– it was only $10 in store at Old Navy!
Love this skirt! The color is fabulous and the twirl is perfect. I need to be on the lookout for something similar. Love this on you. – Katy
As far as brights go, this pink is my absolute favorite. I’d love a closet filled with more of it but it seems to be a mysteriously difficult color to find.
Great shot, the skirt is adorable. I love floaty pleated skirts. They make you want to swish back & forth all day long.
I had so much fun with the twirl photo! I could have just kept doing that all day.
Great twirling!
And I love the hot pink on you.
Eeek, I love your twirl photo! And I think this skirt is just gorgeous on you- that’s why I chose the picture from an older outfit post for my blogroll! :)
Twirl photos are so hard! I took so many. If you wear something twirly one day I’ll take photos of you, I think it’s easier that way. I like how you’ve done your blogroll! I should post mine, it’s been in progress forever.
That twirl is beyond awesome: well done capturing it too!
i love this skirt and bought it bc of you!
i am actually saving it for next weekend to wear out for my b’day!!

Ohhh can’t wait to see that outfit!!
What great light, you are so lucky to get outside before its dark! I love the pleated skirt and the cut of your coat in the back, very, very cool!
Thanks! I love love this coat. It can make for fun surprises like a peek of bright pink!
I feel like the sunsets are always so much more beautiful here in the winter – I don’t know just the position of the earth to the sun or something? It’s a little sad that it’s usually too cold to enjoy them.
Love that you’ve diverted from your norm with both pattern AND color!
I think it’s the angle of the sun, and I think sunsets are actually more golden in the winter, but I could totally be making that up. By now I think it’s usually too snowy to enjoy them, but all I’ve got here is rain.
