There are so many things right about this outfit and right, in general, about the way Alexa Chung dresses on every occasion. She doesn't ever seem to have a bad sartorial moment. I suppose her rail thin, statuesque frame really doesn't hurt talent for looking good in almost anything. But she doesn't wear just anything; her get up is always simultaneously very well thought out and effortlessly executed. Her eye (or her stylist's eye) for detail is really superb. I am coveting the animal print backpack and the slouchy satin blouse in a bad way.
I love how (above) Alexa pairs a Jackie O. style blazer with a high waisted knit jersey skirt with pockets- the mix of high and low is done perfectly. The worn leather bag is icing on the cake. These days I'm really into women's bags that have a part satchel, part briefcase aesthetic- they are at once utilitarian and sexy. The bag (below) by Mulberry was named after Alexa. If you are overcome with the urge buy it for me I would not fault you. Just hit me up and provide you with my address. No questions asked. xo
