Dear Christine,
Guess where we’re back to jackets? That’s right, New York. It’s been a rather cold week and twice has barely broken 60 degrees. Not the start for June I was hoping for after a cool, rainy May.
I guess I’ve gotten a lot of new things lately. These earrings are from by boe’s Studio collection, which is edgier and more conceptual than the classic wire jewelry– like these Native American-inspired earrings. Everything else is older though, except for the bag that I swapped with a friend.
I always seem to be wearing these pants with black. What color should I wear them with next time?
Ann Taylor blazer | Francesca’s Collections cardigan | Zara shirt | DL1961 Emma Legging Jeans | MIA ankle boots (DSW) | Marc by Marc Jacobs east-west bag (swapped with Laura) | by boe Cubilete Bracelet | by boe Oak Earrings

I’d love to see these pants with orange or cobalt blue. That’d be great! And I love those earrings, too — they’re so different but so awesome!
Emily Brown says
The colour of those jeans is so much fun and the earrings are the perfect accessory! I really like the black with pink- keeps it elegant. P.S. You should
definitely try Zumba it’s a ton of fun! http://tinfoilstiaras.blogspot.ca/
Mia says
You should wear these pants with, hmm, oh, EVERYTHING??? Oh, you know I love them, Alex. Wear them with white next time? (At least, maybe when it’s sunnier.)
Kimberlee VDW says
Those earrings are amazing!! Love how you matched them to your pants :)
Megan Zietz says
Lucky, I’ve been sweating! You look amazing bythe way.
Kristin & Megan says
That’s some crazy weather! It’s been sweltering here!
Bravoerunway says
OH no…blazer? In early JUNE!?!?!?!?! So…I am on the no jacket ban until October. And while we’ve had a few chilly days this week I refused to pull out that jacket/blazer..ok so I wore a jean jacket but that doesn’t really count does it???
Alex Elizabeth says
Hahahhahaa a jean jacket totally counts! But yeah, I’m hoping for no jackets until October as well. I’m ready for milder weather.
Nnenna says
Yep, this NYC weather has been too crazy- I never know what to expect! Hoping it settles down by the time I get back! :)

Those pants look great with black. They might look fun with red next time to do a little color blocking. Sorry that you have to break out the jackets that really stinks!
Alex Elizabeth says
You know, I don’t think I actually have any red shirts. Ahhh that’s terrible! I love red. Got to get one!
Lyddiegal says
You don’t have to tell me, this weather is despicable!
That cityscape is SOOOO gorgeous. I want my outfit photos there, darn it.
And you know me, I’d wear them with yellow, or blue, DEFINITELY leopard or stripes or floral…. ya know. just pretend they are a neutral.
Alex Elizabeth says
Left all the photos in landscape because you can see the bridge behind me better :) Yellow… I don’t know if I have any yellow shirts. But I do have leopard!
Christine D says
Yea this weather has been CrAAAAzy!! Who would’ve thought that jackets and sweaters are necessary for June?! I love the color of those pants…I think I probably would do the same thing and match it with black…then try to explore other options…maybe a chambray button down shirt?? Some might even suggest leopard print!
Alex Elizabeth says
I’ve been looking for a chambray forever! If I find one I will definitely wear it with these pants. And some sandals. It would be awesome.
Kelsey says
LOVE those pants. I’ve been on the hunt for cute colored denim, but so far I just haven’t found any that fits quite right! =D
Alex Elizabeth says
Ugh I know, fit can be a real problem. I have the hardest time with pants– even these don’t fit great.
