I ended up rushed to take these before I had to change and get ready to go out, which resulted in about three photos that were actually in focus. And which means I didn’t get any head to toe photos without the coat, only the portraits were usable. But I am just wearing jeans, you can probably just fill them in with your imagination! This vintage coat was a gift from my cousin around the winter holidays. I’ve worn it between then and now but this is the first time I’ve actually gotten a photo. It’s a good spring/fall weight jacket and blocks the wind wonderfully. However, that means it’s also far too warm for temperatures above 70, I would definitely roast!
I pulled out my summer jewelry because I was feeling especially bright. The bangles are from seasons past at J.Crew and still among my favorite pieces. The turquoise bracelet was a gift from a friend. Isn’t the color really wonderful? It’s not really a valuable type of turquoise (I basically play with pretty rocks at work now) but I think I prefer it because it’s more interesting. My turquoise necklace is also vintage and a gift from the same friend for my birthday last year. Hard to believe it’s actually only a few weeks away again…

I am such a huge fan of turquoise jewelry. It’s basically a neutral. At least to me.
Alex Elizabeth says
Turquoise and coral jewelry both epitomize summer for me :) I’m going to start borrowing more turquoise stuff now that (hopefully) the weather’s turning better.

ShenDove says
Your top looks so great with your jewelry! I’ve never seen a leather jacket with that cut/style, it’s very unique and stylish!
Alex Elizabeth says
Thanks! I’m fond of the style too, it’s almost trenchlike? My favorite part is the shape of the lapels!
Kristin & Megan says
Those bangles go perfectly together!
Lyddiegal says
I know, these birthdays really sneak up on you. When is yours?
I really love the color of your top. it is terribly gorgeous, which i suppose is why i think i have like two tops of a similar color.
and i love your sideways bow.
Alex Elizabeth says
Soon- may 6th. I’m a little… apprehensive, don’t feel much like celebrating this year :P I love this pinky color too and am forever searching for things in this color! I have a dress but it’s too small now :( and the bow is totally unintentional, the leather is too uncooperative for it to stay straight!
