Dear Kelsey,
I decided to try trendy for NYFW and ended up combining the emerald green and American pastoral Fall 2013 trends. Emerald green? Check. American pastoral? Could have been better. It ended up being a hot day and I just didn’t have the patience for layers and ruffles. I barely had patience for my boots and the heels aren’t even that high. Flats for fashion week!
- Emerald top – I forget (Spring 2009) – great scarf in the same color!
- Anthropologie skirt and belt (Spring 2012/2011) – similar belt
- ZARA Studded Cowboy Boots (Fall 2012) – similar brown leather
- Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM (Spring 2008)
- Burberry sunglasses
- Vintage cuff | Ippolita earrings | AMY O. Jewelry rings
This top is actually from quite a while ago… so long that it’s come back into style! I’d actually keep this shirt even if it wasn’t on-trend though. I love the color so much and it’s very versatile.
Happy fall!
Alex

I think this look is very cute, and emerald and navy are a nice combo… I feel like it’s one I’ll be seeing more of in the future. The booties with the studded backs are just awesome too.

oh Alex, you can do no wrong. I LOVE this outfit down to the booties!
Chrissy says
I’m loving the top and the skirt, not sure if I’m feeling the shoes but I will be wearing flats for Philly’s fashion week! lol
Alexandra Shook says
Yeah I’m not sure the American pastoral thing worked out that well. I have a feeling my lace-up Frye boots would have been better, but those things are high and were so not happening.
I swear, flats will improve your stamina so much over the week. I feel so much less tired when I wear them for fashion week. Only problem is I’m short– I get better photos in heels!

I absolutely love that skirt. Every single time you wear it, I pull mine out of the drawer, and wear it the very next day. =)
