I've gotta admit.... I've been in a rut. It's just been too cold for me to be creative! I feel like I've worn a lot of this before...which I probably have. I've been living in jeans, boots, cardis, and coats. And if you've read this post, you know that's like....five things. So I'm asking for your help - send me your best, creative, fall outfits to elainehearn@gmail.com and you might be featured here this week!
Thank you to little violet dress for the blog award!!!
Wearing Tulle coat ($44), H&M itchy cardigan ($10, 3 years ago), AE striped tshirt ($7), secondhand belt ($6), J Brand jeans ($158), Miss Me black boots ($50).

Still, your outfit is cute! I think the cardigan makes it special.
I think I'm in a rut, too, so maybe I'll take your challenge. If I'm not too embarrassed by my boring clothes. =)
I can't wait to see other people's entries, though!

you ARE still super cute! I'll try to send you an outfit if I have time... right now I am rocking the soccer pants from highschool though, so I feel you on the fall rut!
I love your cute and classic style! But yes, it is easy to fall into a rut when the weather is uninspiring.
I find that wearing bright colours makes me feel better:

I have to say that you do look adorable. One thing that I like to do when it gets cold out is really start to incorporate tights/leggings/leg warmers. I'm a serious sweater tights girl. You can take a plain grey or black dress with a colorful sweater or cardigan, throw on a pair of striped/blocked/argyle tights with some boots and look amazing. At least that's what I've been doing this week!
Love your belt!
really pretty coat!
xo,
the little violet dress
cute styles coming up...
I'm a new reader, so it's not old to me! Scarves and hats are my cold weather must-haves--I have tons. And I just have to say that I love your hair!
Thanks for getting back to me about the boots from a few posts ago. I think i just MAY order them.
I had another question for you: I have some meat on my bones and I want to be able to wear leggings and stockings without scaring anyone and incorporate some boots. Any ideas/alternatives? Any help/advice would be appreciated :)
Thanks again!
I still just love the look of rubber boots with skinny jeans. Just seems laid back but still trendy I suppose.
I need to get me some boots like yours!
i don't feel too creative when trying to stay warm either. you look super cute as always though elaine:)
too cold for you to be creative?? Well it seems to me like the creative juices are pumping through you just great! XD Much better than anything I could think of.
I just look like such a mess because of the cold weather. lol
your worst fashion day (which I find hard to believe!) is better than my best day, you always look so great!!
great layering. I love the boots!!

You look very elegant even in these cold days!
Doesn't matter. Those boots are lovely and I can't get enough of them!
I still think that your tulle coat is super adorable! And I also like that you layered the blue-ish tee and cardigan under for colour :D
>_< I always thought that being cold would give more options for dressing up, since more layers means more combinations/permutations (I have thrown away my Math knowledge).
I hope you do find a lot of inspiration to get out of your rut though! I recently read a book on Fashion illustrations and the images were very inspiring! All those colours!
Love the layering and the pop of color from your cardigan!
I think you always look fresh even if it is a repeat. How is the quality of your Tulle coat? I've been thinking about getting one.
Great outfit, you look so cute!
rut? never...the nubby knit cardigan looks great with the nautical stripes and soft gray. emailing you some outfits now!
Just love that coat :)
great outfit as always ^^
Fabulous coat!

YOU ARE WHAT YOU WEAR

Love the belt. Adds a great vintage touch!!
Blue and gray and stripes and black and gold. I probably won't even think of that combo even my most creative days! ;)
so cute! I'm so happy to be able to wear layers again!
Love your coat!!! I invite you visit mine!!
great outfit. It looks super comfortable and I love the detail that the belt adds :)
So cool!

Hey Chelsea,
You can TOTALLY wear leggings and stockings! Leggings are a bit trickier... My personal rule is to always wear it with a short dress or tunic to cover the crotch area. I make sure that the dress/tunic hits mid-thigh (just because I'm not comfortable with anything shorter). And by pairing it with some knee-high boots, nobody can tell they're leggings! If you are self-conscious about your legs, try darker colors like black or navy blue. I only have black leggings :).
As for stockings, They're a YES. Always. No matter what your size, tights add a little something extra, especially if they're different colors, patterns, and prints. I've seen some bloggers pair their tights with knee-high socks and knee-high boots which I thought was a good idea! You should try that out!
Hope this helped!
When I get dressed in the morning on cold days I'm just so clueless...still so sleepy and mushy headed. Thinking about it the night before works...but somehow I forget and only end up doing that for Church, LOL.
Happy weekend!
Love your little cardigan, it's cute! It is so easy to get in a rut - seems like I'm always in one or just getting out...

Amazing coat & cardigan! <3 Kisses!
I like it a lot. The mix of the blueish and grays is great.
