I love to pose under tall trees. I like old things like vintage and antiques, so I guess it stands to reason that I like old trees as well. Probably why I like strolling through Stuyvestant Town so much. The trees are dazzlingly tall.
My first instinct for this skirt was black, but we’ve had such a nice few days that I’ve ended up bare legged and in boots for at least five days straight now. And so I ended up with brown. It’s more unexpected anyway, or at least that’s what I was thinking.
Got this skirt at Old Navy for $10! It wasn’t a Black Friday find though. I love the color, and it’s taken me forever to find a hot pink piece I’m satisfied with. The only random thing is that it has an ambiguous waist. I’m not exactly sure where it’s supposed to hit. It’s pulled up higher and held in place with the belt in these photos.

This is such a lovely outfit! I love the combination of the reds/pinks, and the gorgeous brown boots. What a warm ensemble! And I cannot believe that’s from Old Navy!
Alex Elizabeth says
I only got this skirt and a lacy shirt, but they’ve had so many great things this fall!
Noelani@MonPetitChouChou says
I NEVER would have guessed that was an Old Navy steal. I just adore the pleats and bright color (you know I love anything bright and/or loud;) . The brown combo works so well, I will definitely try and work that soon with my bright pink maxi.
Alex Elizabeth says
Old Navy has been great this fall! Usually I only shop there for basic things, but this season I got this skirt and a lacy black shirt, too.

The pink-on-pink looks great on you. That skirt is killer!
Tara says
This outfit is perfect! Love everything about the skirt, and the top you paired it with was such a great color choice…I’m even loving the back of the shirt!
Alex Elizabeth says
The back is actually the front– I just spin it around sometimes because it’s super low and I get tired of fussing with it. I actually think the dolman sleeves drape better this way, too.
Tia says
It’s so bright! I’m still trying to work more bright things into my wardrobe, so this is a super nice example…especially with the darker colors to let the pink be spectacular by itself.
Kileen says

I loveeeeeeeee old navy! The skirt is beautiful and I love the colour too, great pairing with the burgandy top and toffee boots!
Alex Elizabeth says
Some fellow bloggers pointed me in the direction of Old Navy’s fall collections and I’m glad they did! Their fall stuff has been really great!
Lydia Abate says
Definitely the perfect shade of pink! And it pairs so well with brown. Brown is usually my go-to neutral… though black has been starting to overpower it lately.
that skirt is over twice as much online – as much as I hate to make the drive I really do want to go and see if I can find it in the store.
Alex Elizabeth says
There are always such weird price discrepancies with the Gap Inc. brands. That’s the only really annoying thing about shopping there. Might have to go to the store and order online for the best prices, which I’ve done before.

So jealous that you scored that skirt for $10- I just love the color. And your Frye boots are great- they look amazing with everything!
Alex Elizabeth says
I wear these a lot whenever I’m not in New York. They’re just not great walking shoes for some reason :( not enough support in the shank or something. Yeah this skirt was a pretty great find! I’ve been looking for this color foreverrrrr.
Sayaka says
I love the color choice!! You look stunning!!
Alex Elizabeth says
Thanks! These colors went better together than I expected :)
Kelsey says
You look absolutely beautiful!! I love the color of that skirt, particularly paired with that top. It tones it down a bit.
I love tall trees, too. We have some here in Washington, they just require a bit of a drive to get to. =D
Alex Elizabeth says
Thanks! As far as pinks go, this is my favorite. I love colorful trees, too, so I’m glad there are lots of evergreens around here.
