A loose shirt with extremely long sleeves and wedge booties are totally casual… right? At least that was what I was thinking on Sunday morning. If I’m rather tired looking it’s because I was eating Papaya Dog at 1am and ordering Jason Wu for Target at 3am. The link hunt was kind of annoying and things I wanted sold out (sigh, no poplin dress), so it took me forever to finally checkout. Hopefully I like the canvas bag and skirt I ordered, but if not I’ll be thankful for easy returns to a Target store.
Sunday afternoon (after sleep), I took a bit of a walk…
…and watched the sun set.
Then I got some butter cookies from Veniero’s…
…for a Super Bowl party with a pretty stellar view!
I’m wearing a Vince shirt, J.Crew shell, Gap skirt (consignment – Tokyo Joe), and Mia booties (still available at DSW.com). And this is my free Dana Buchman for Kohl’s bag (read the story).
Those Mia boots are just so cute. Are they comfy?
Yes! They are amazingly comfortable. But they’re only 3 inch, and the platform is .5 hahaha. I’m always on the lookout for heels that can take about a mile of walking.
Can I PLEASE steal your entire wardrobe? I adore your style! This outfit is especially gorgeous. I love your use of neutrals, and your bag is like, perfect. You look so pretty!
**kisses**

You knot a blouse like nobody else, Alex!
Ooh, I love your blog! Nice meeting you via Twitter and Starcrossed Smile :)
I just thought of something- have I ever seen you in pants Alex? I don’t think so?! Anyways- your blouse is really pretty and I love the knotted look.
You may not have ever seen me wear them (in person), but I do occasionally. But not a lot in New York. I feel like I’ve never seen you in pants hahaha
So pretty- I love the colour of that blouse on you and those wedge boots are amazing! 3 a.m. online shopping- that’s dedication! I hope you like your finds and can’t wait to see how you’ve styled them!
Ehh I was up anyway… my friend’s 30th birthday party, haha.
I’m hoping that somehow there is a Wu clutch left at my Target. Wishful thinking? Ha!
Casual is a state of mind. Most people think the stuff I wear is bonkers anyways. I am drooling over that leather skirt. So simple and great lines. I didn’t get anything at Target- I slept in until 7 and missed anything worth getting.
The look feels casual to ME ;) I love the softness of the creamy bow top with the ‘tough’ shiny skirt. It’s a good combo.
I didn’t even think about that. The top is definitely soft and I think it’s the contrast that makes it more casual.
For you? totally causal. Anything you knot instantly becomes more casual, I believe.
Hope your Wu buys work out, and stellar instagrams as usual!
I’m not that good at casual :P Just had a conversation with Shenneth about how much we love the look of denim, but have a hard time with fit so hardly ever buy any.
