Okay, so… the topstitching on my jacket is definitely coming out at the bottom. I have to find someone to fix it. I confess I don’t even remember what I was doing on this day because it was so long ago. I need to load photos in a more timely manner than I have been for the past month. What happened to the weekend, for serious… it’s Sunday? And for that matter what happened to September too. October really crept up on me.
Wearing my Ellen Tracy rain coat, Xhilaration/Target striped shirt from the ModSwap, Gap leather skirt, French Sole flats, and bag I can’t remember the name of stolen from my roommate.

I love this from head-to-toe!

This is going to sound super weird, but I love how you execute facing-away-from-the-camera shots. I try to do this sometimes, but feel so weird about not looking at the camera so I just end up craning my neck around to stare at my butt or something. Yours look very natural, I need to take note of how you do it.
Weird Mia aside, this is definitely very chic, and I didn’t notice the loose threads at all. You always seem like one of the most put-together bloggers I follow, with simple-but-classy outfits.
Alex Elizabeth says
I think The Clothes Horse always has good facing away photos too. In this particular instance I pretended like I was walking away… without actually walking away. I do my best with outfits! Sometimes I feel… too simplified? because I tend to eschew many layers and accessories. But I do strive for put-together.

The skirt is really cute as well as the trench! It should be a quick fix and I can’t wait to see you rock that H&M python dress…or in any of the solid colours, it’s a great dress ;)
Kristin & Megan says
That leather skirt is awesome!
Noelani@MonPetitChouChou says
You’d never notice the stitching from the photos, this is looking seriously chic. Very Parisian.
Alex Elizabeth says
Thanks! I felt tres chic with the stripes and neutrals, but figured I was the only person who thought it was sort of French!
Jessica Zigenis says
Thanks for your sweet comment! Lovin’ that striped shirt knotted. So cute and chic!
Nnenna says
Agreed, what in the world happened to September?! Also, agreed, with Lydia- those flats are so cute on you!
Alex Elizabeth says
Ahh for serious. September was like four seconds long. If you’re not too busy next week let’s go for pho!
Caitlin says
So cute! Congrats on the stripes. I mean, stripes and leather together? Always a great combination!
Alex Elizabeth says
Yeah, didn’t know about it at first but I think it worked out well. Don’t know what I was doing wearing a leather skirt on a day it was threatening to rain though!
Lyddiegal says
This is really cute, and it’s annoying how good you look in flats.
Though for real, how the heck is it October?
Alex Elizabeth says
You know, I actually don’t like my legs in flats… although I don’t know if anyone does. Even a tiny heel makes such a difference!
