Apparently I was really into jewel tones and a bohemian vibe. Interesting. In some ways I’ve changed quite a bit, in others… not so much at all.
Present day:
Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.

Welcome to Letters from the City, a lifestyle photoblog.
My name is Alex and I have been blogging in some form or another since 1998. I’m a former Manhattanite now living the quieter life in Brooklyn. I like outerwear and red lipstick.
When I was younger, I was let loose in a GAP Kids one too many times, resulting in many of the fashion choices you see here in my photos. I also read, traveled, and took cooking and art classes. Art eventually led me around to photography, and to this day I do enjoy a good brunch.
Thank you for visiting! I hope you'll stay a while and get to know me. Learn More →

What a great way to compare. Also, I love how the pink and yellow skirt kind of mirror each other.

This is such a wonderful idea for a post! I’m going to try to remember this for next year… you know, once I’ve been blogging for longer than a few months. LOL! =D
Alex Elizabeth says
Do it! You could even look back on what you wore the first month of blogging!
Kelsey says
That’s such a wonderful idea! I’m adding it to my list of future blog post ideas. ;)

Hey Alex! Girl, I’m going to be talking about jewel tones tomorrow! HAHAHA All of these styles are great! I love that leopard against that burgundy! You’ve always had impeccable taste. :D

Haha thanks, I try my best! I adore jewel tones. Lately I’ve been searching for the perfect pair of pants in a jewel tone.

I think my favorite look is the purple and yellow skirt and you are holding a leaf :) Still loving that H&M python dress and I do hope you find the colour blocked skirt at H&M too. I saw a few left at my store they moved pretty slowly….

I love comparing last years photos to this years photos – you were so colorful last year! and those tights! You MUST bust those out again!
Alex Elizabeth says
I had this soft pink thing going on, didn’t I? After today I feel like it’s already too cold for those tights! And I have to wear that purple lace shirt more, but it’s something I have difficulty styling.
Tia says
I love this idea! Maybe in a year I’ll have something interesting to post as a retrospective. :3
I like what you wore last year too…especially the rich purple top with the yellow skirt? Too cute!
Alex Elizabeth says
Last time I did this it was favorite outfits over a six month period. I always find it interesting to see what I was wearing… you should do one of these once you come up on a milestone!
