I've been wearing variations of this outfit for a few days now but never got proper outfit shots of it, so here it is. I love this dress, it fits perfectly and the print and color feel so "me." It's always interesting packing for a visit to New York because in my mind New Yorkers are much more chic than I. I think I dress like a country bumpkin a lot more than I realize. Case in point: this outfit (plaid, cowboy boots, scarf...). I don't know. I realize that New York is a place where pretty much every style is represented, so you're not really out of place ever, but I kind of get this feeling of wishing I dressed more like an off-duty model when I go there. I have to remind myself that my style is what it is and I can't change myself to be something I'm not. I'll put my best foot forward in the big city, but I'll probably always be a small town, west coast girl.
This was my best attempt at being NYC-chic. I actually love that outfit and it made me feel Anna-Wintour-powerful, kind of. My other favorite outfit from last fashion week was this one. It was an outfit I ended up putting together last minute after I decided the one I'd planned didn't feel like my style. I don't know if it's a faux pas or not, but I'm totally wearing those same booties to this fashion week. I haven't worn them in months, but as I was putting together outfits, I just had to include them! For those of you who read my post on packing- that's why I have three pairs of heels. Whoops! We'll see just how angry my feet are after a week of walking around in heels...
Alright, well, today I have to do all my last minute stuff for fashion week. I'm getting really anxious/nervous! I just don't want to forget anything. I'm praying all my travels go smoothly. I usually have pretty good travels, so far no horror stories, and I'd like to keep it that way.

LIVING IN A LOOOONELY WORLD.. ♥
You look great! I've worn outfits that remind me of what you're rockin and the ex always said I looked like a variation of Little House on the Prarie. Ha. Maybe that's why he's an ex....
Excited to see what you pull out for Fashion Week!
I've lived in New York my whole and sometimes I just feel entirely unfashionable, especially during fashion week when all the models are walking around haha. Going away to college in a small town has contributed to helping me truly dressig for myself. Being around so many different styles can be overwhelming at times. Have a safe trip!
you are a great small town, west coast girl!
the dress is wonderful!
Lookin' great!
Fashion week. How exciting!
Hope you have a safe journey!
:D
You must have had it this way for a while now, but I just wanted to say I love your hair!
I love your style, and find it much more interesting than the 'model off-duty' look that was being pushed on us for so long by the fashion industry! Have a safe trip and tell us all about New York! :)
Your pictures from last year were great - its so cool to see all the bloggers I follow in one place together! And you all look so beautiful.
Have a great time! Super jealous!
this outfit definitely has a southern feel to it... but it's still very much west coast! (three cheers for west coast girls) you always look fabulous and laid back, which i love.
even though i've lived in california my whole life and l-o-v-e it SO much, new york is kind of my dream city. have an amazing time!
I'm in NYC a lot, and I always find myself scrutinizing over every minute detail of what I'm wearing. It's exhausting. I'm definitely an East Coast girl, but something about that city just makes me go insane about what I'm wearing. I'm hoping if I ever end up living there I'll grow out of that because I really can't live that way! lol
Love the whole outfit!
Good luck in the big city.
I love the flannel and dress together. I think that one of the great things about NYC is that you can look stylish in anything, as long as you wear it with confidence.
Country bumpkin is good, you always look fab and must stick to you and your style !! I sometimes forget that and it never does me any good!
Your outfit is much nicer than cookie cutter model off duty that EVERYONE wears these days! Stay true to your style and you'll be happier in the end anyway. ^__^
xox,
bonita of Depict This!

the lights and the colors great photo shoots

Elizabeth,
I know in your last post you mentioned that you were considering featuring some of your horse-y past...I would love to see that! I used to ride too, and am feeling pretty nostalgic for it lately! I'm sure you're busy prepping for NYFW, but maybe when you get back...<3
I love the vintage blue and white nautical striped mini skirt!! I've got such an obsession with blue/white striped clothing! (1 top, 2 coats & two dresses already, but I wouldn't mind adding this skirt!)

i have a fascination with yellow dresses so this one is quite lovely and wonderful.
I really like your style! It's unique and not unfashionable at all! I think personal style is more interesting than following trends and trying to look a certain way.. wear what you feel like and always rely on your taste.
Such a greta outfit. I've just discovered your blog and I really like your sence of style. And you have the most gorgeous hair, but you probably heard this millions of times already!
I've been living in NYC for almost 11 years, and trust me, your style is tops! The most important thing is to "do you", which you seem to have no problem with. So, hats off (or on, if that's your thing, lol)!
