Dear Kelsey,
Lately I’ve been playing with props in my photos, like the leaf in my hair and the leaves in my face. Then I decided a tree branch would make an appearance, except it wouldn’t go in my hair so I didn’t know what to do with it.
So this is my new striped shirt. I now own two! I got one from a swap, and this one is from Ann Taylor during a ridiculously good sale. $6 well spent. I’m also wearing my ancient Talbots scarf, Gap skirt, and Jeffrey Campbell boots (other colors).
I can’t believe how long the warm weather’s been holding, but I’m definitely enjoying it!

Oooh, I’m so proud of you, friend! Welcome to the lovers of striped shirts club! I love this outfit: classic, chic, and striped. What could be better?
Hahahhaa thanks. I wonder what’ll be next… striped dress? Striped skirt?
I love those boots.
Did you have them last year?
I can’t remember!
I did! They’re just over a year old now. I love the stye, but they’re not that comfortable to walk in so I don’t wear them that often. Soles are too thin.
Alex, I am envious of your warm weather. Like, for realzies. I am also envious of your boots, and your skirt, and that awesome striped top. But I am most especially envious of that delicious looking pomegranate in your IG pics!
It’s been unseasonably warm… but now it’s holding steady in the 40s :( Oh well, couldn’t last forever. The pomegranate was so good!
Just stumbled across your blog and am loving it! Great boots and great photo too.
LOL Alex about not knowing what to do with that branch. I think you did a fantastic job with it in the second pic. Loving that leather skirt. You know they use to always be straight, but I’m loving the fuller looks to them now. Fierce boots too!

I definitely wouldn’t get as much use out of a straight one… although I love the look, I think it’s too unforgiving for me. I’d be afraid to eat whenever I wore it!
These boots are AWESOME. You look lovely, I love the contrast between the bright leaves and all the black you are wearing.
Love those boots and I like the branch!
This is a wonderful outfit, Alex! Love the props. Sometimes I wish that I could just fill my purse with random props. I’m convinced it could only make day-to-day life more entertaining.
this is a great outfit all the way around
love those boots with it

Seems like the warm weather will be leaving soon… but anything would be better than the rain I’ve been having all day! well, since Monday… I’m so sick of it.
Loving the new stripes, for $6, how could you not?
It’s supposed to snow here, hope you don’t get it too. I’m pretty sure all the roads will be flooded tomorrow because it hasn’t really stopped raining for days :(
LOVE it! I’m still trying to get the courage to rock a leather skirt :)
I think I wouldn’t wear this skirt nearly as much if it were a mini or a pencil skirt. I think it’s a little bit more forgiving and comfortable than those styles. Maybe you could start with one in a similar shape!
