Dear Shen Dove,
Happy late Memorial Day!… from in front of the Tudor house with the American flag, haha. It’s been a rather busy week for me and I have tons of blog reading to do. Did manage to wear this skirt, though. The blue skirt Lydia made for me gets more love than the red. I foresee the red being an excellent summer skirt. It’s lighter weight than the blue. Very airy.
As you can see, I’m not too sure about the seafoam shoes with this outfit. I thought it would be daring, but it ended up making the outfit very vintage. So I messed around with the photos until they looked like they’d been in someone’s attic for the past twenty years. I like the results :)

Aw man, I have been playing blog catchup for what feels like weeks now. I think I tend to overthink commenting, haha. The pink-red-gold is so pretty, and I think the seafoam is a pretty, unexpected addition! Ooh, I never expected to say this, but I gotta get me something in seafoam.

That skirt is so fun and I love it paired with that top. I think the red skirt will be perfect for the summer.

It’s at least a year old, so I don’t think you’ll be finding it at any Anthropologie stores now :(

Very patriotic outfit without being stars and stripey. Love the skirt!

Alex Elizabeth says
Thanks! Though stars and stripes would be fun, I was going for less… obvious.
Caitlin says
I love the seafoam with the red; it’s completely unexpected – very Olivia Palermo. What a cute skirt, too, and so fitting for Memorial Day weekend!
Alex Elizabeth says
I got the idea from Lydia when she was doing her seafoam with…. series of posts. She wears seafoam so well!
Lyddiegal says
I think red and seafoam totally go, and I like how the tie dye makes the look a little less americana but still keeps with the stripey feel.
(sorry that fabric turns into such a wrinkled mess! damn cotton.)
Alex Elizabeth says
Yep, should have said I thought of red and seafoam because of you. Next time!
I think someone needs to invent some kind of spray that prevents fabric from wrinkling. Without turning it into crunchy fabric, haha.

I love that top! You’ll see a similar pattern next month! You did a great job with the photo editing, and the shoes def have an antique feel
Kristin & Megan says
What a beautiful look! Love the tank!
Nnenna says
Such a cute outfit lady! And I love the vintage effect of the photos- another thing I need to learn how to do!
Alex Elizabeth says
It’s not too hard! Try a polarize filter, adjust the curves, and vignette to start out!
Nnenna says
Haha, I don’t know how to do that! You’ll have to show me sometime :) or I suppose I can google it!
ShenDove says
I love the the red skirt Lydia made for you! It looks great with your top and shoes. Your outfit is quite festive and perfect for the holiday weekend.
