The black dress appears again! This is not really one of my better or more interesting looks. I just decided on something easy. And I’m notorious for wearing sleeveless things even in the dead of winter. I’m not really in a park– it’s Stuyvesant Town. Stuyvesant Town is a pretty old development so the trees are very tall, like in all the older parks in New York. Hardly any of the city is visible, so it barely even feels like Manhattan. It’s interesting to step off the street and immediately be somewhere so quiet.
And okay, seriously… you see all those green trees? It’s barely even fall. But yeah, these photos are from October.
Later on after I got lost in the park I met Nnenna to take some photos before having pho for dinner. We went inside the courtyard of St. Mark’s Church. It’s not a high traffic area and a good place for a photoshoot.
On Alex: London Fog trench, Alexander Wang dress, Target boots, Martine’s Dream scarf (Brooklyn Flea), Longchamp bag.
On Nnenna: Target Trench and Tights, Forever 21 Dress (underneath), Steve Madden Flats, Lulu’s Bag.

i can’t believe those are target boots…they are awesome! love the dress, too…great investment piece when it can be worn so many different ways.
[oomph.]What’s the next line? Help write the story!
Alex Elizabeth says
These boots were a really awesome steal last year, they were on sale so I only paid $32! The uppers are genuine leather, too
Nnenna says
I love the many ways you’ve worn this dress- it’s such a versatile piece! And I like our little spot in the churchyard- we’ll have to go again earlier in the day :)
Alex Elizabeth says
Ugh, it’ll have to be on a weekend. Full dark at 5pm. I’m depressed.
Nnenna says
I was so shocked when I left work today! I couldn’t figure out what happened, and I then I remembered daylight savings time!
Kim A. says
That dress is so fabulous Alex. I didn’t know you could wear it all of those different ways! Awesome. I subscribe to Nnenna’s blog, she’s fun! You both look great and I love Pho! :D

Noelani@MonPetitChouChou says
How fabulous is this dress? I bet it’s comfortable as can be too- I live in all my Wang T’s. It’s a new dress to me!! And looks fabulous!
Alex Elizabeth says
This dress is one of my favorite pieces of clothing. And yes, it is comfortable. It’s the second black jersey Alex Wang I have… and I’ll likely be picking up a third during the after-holiday sales!
Lyddiegal says
I like the shot where you can see the lining of the coat, mixed with the scarf, you’ve got some pattern and color + the utilitarian boots and I think you’ve succeeded in dressing it down pretty well.
Also, never let those boring green leaves ruin your fall photos, just make them orange in photoshop ;)
Alex Elizabeth says
You have no idea how many tries it took to get that shot. Too bad I deleted all the bloopers already– hard drive overflowing.
Ha! I’m probably too lazy to make them orange. But of course I’ll be pushing up the saturation of the yellow leaves I’ve been photographing with lately…
laura says
I really love how you’ve dressed down this dress with the trench, boots, and scarf :)

I’m loving this dress. So versatile!
Kelsey says
I absolutely love this dress. Every time you wear it I’m struck by how beautiful the draping is. It adds such lovely texture to the outfit.
Alex Elizabeth says
I keep trying to wear it in new and interesting ways… hopefully it doesn’t get boring!
