Madewell & Alexa Chung

 .............................................................................................................................

 My top 5 favorite pieces of the collection:

1 First Place goes to this amazing "Greta Coat". The proportions are perfect... it hits mid-thigh for a sophisticated, yet youthful look. The sleeves are short and chic, just how Alexa wears hers. And camel is one of this season's hottest shades.

 

2  Second Place goes to the "Lydia Coat." A different take on the camel coat, proportionally speaking. Very 50's in a great neutral dark grey, double breasted with a peter pan collar. 

3 In Third Place we have a sweetly sophisticated sheer blouse with oversized polka dots.

4 In Fourth Place is a babydoll dress with collar, with very delicate horizontal pintucking throughout.

5 Fifth Place is the "Betty Tea Dress" which is ladylike with the pleats and small polka dots. It's a very versatile dress that can be styled so many different ways.

I must also mention this Madewell Trench... don't you just feel the need to run out and get this on your body asap?? I'm also loving the mustardy gold color of this silk blouse:
