Dear Silvergirl,
Isn’t DUMBO great in the morning? It’s very quiet and barely feels like New York. I love taking photos in the park when it’s early. Except for the occasional jogger or dog walker, hardly anyone is around. It’s easier to get photos when people aren’t wandering into your frame.
Of course I’m wearing the pink pants again. Yes, they do stretch out quite a bit, but I like to wear them anyway. I just try to shrink them in the dryer. The search for jeans that don’t sag, bag, and gape (and don’t restrict my breathing) continues.

Cute! I can’t believe you’re wearing a coat, though. We’ve been having 80+ degree weather for the past two weeks, and nothing sounds worse to me than a coat right now.
Still love the colored jeans and the black with them! So rock and roll chic.
Glamamom says
Love the red. And yes, DUMBO is a magical little spot. I’ll have to check it out in the morning!
Mia says
I think the pink pants look radical on you even with the relative bagging. It’s just a natural effect, and having a slightly looser pant is better than suffering from nerve damage, or whatever they’re saying too-tight skinny jeans do to people these days!
Loren Cline says
I love your pink pants! So cool!
Curvy Everyday says
Let me know when you find the perfect pant, I’ll buy 10. Your photos make me homesick used to live in the heights. Came over from Bonbonrosegirls.com glad i did. I’ll swing by when i need a brooklyn fix.

I’m with you on that search, Alex! I love it when I find a pair that fits, but then GAH after a few hours, it’s all saggy and stretched! I’ve learned to get jeans a size or two (depending where I get them) down and then suffer for a little bit until they stretch :)
Alex Elizabeth says
Whenever I size down in pants they just end up not fitting and I never wear them! I don’t know what to do anymore. Maybe I should size down and get Spanx!
Tara says
Totally loving your hot pink pants!

You know I love these pink pants! Also, seeing how nice the weather is in these photos, then seeing the downpour we’re under right now makes me sad :/ Come back sun!
Alex Elizabeth says
Don’t even mention the weather around me now, haha. I might have a rabid fit.
Megan Zietz says
love that bag and those pants alex!
Kimberlee VDW says
Loving those jeans!
Kristin & Megan says
Love the pink stems! So cute! Most of mine with any stretch in them do the same thing. Le sigh.

I love those pink skinnies. It really is a shame that the stretch out. I hope you had a great weekend!
Lyddiegal says
They are really awesome jeans – and sound like my red ones. Perfect the second they come out of the dryer, but once you’ve had them on for an hour they start to get all baggy again.
I love the drape of the top, so pretty and flattering!
Alex Elizabeth says
Yes! That is exactly how they are. I wish pants would decide on whether they are going to fit or be loose.
christine says
all black with a hint of pink!! I love it. The background is awesome too. Unfortunately I’ve never been there :(

Oooh, I love your hot pink skinnies. I have some hot pink pants that I adore but really would love to find some skinnies. I love how you paired yours with the black.
Alex Elizabeth says
I love how black really sets off the pink, but I think my next restyle of these will be with a soft neutral because I haven’t done that yet.
