Fall Outfit Inspiration

Fall is finally here to stay. Nice cool days with chillier nights. Time to search the always amazing tumblr for some fashion inspiration. Are you on tumblr? You should be, everyone cool is on tumblr now. Tumblr has vast amonts of photos that you can scroll through easily, and save to your own dashboard. I found this gorgeous outfit from Paris fashion week while browsing, (check out my tumblr for fashion inspiration: ellewhoshops.tumblr.com) and decided I needed to recreate this look.

This outfit is the epitome of layering to perfection. A button up below a cable knit, below a stunning forest green coat. Navy blue and black is one of my favorite color combinations, and this outfit shows why. The navy sweater compliments all the black in the pants, shoes, and shirt below it. It also adds a nice touch of color once the coat is taken off. Peter Pan collars are adorable, there is no way around it. They add a touch of femininity to the androgynous button down shirt. While green is not my favorite color, the rich color of it in this blazer boyfriend coat is gorgeous. This style of coat is flattering on everyone, and you can throw it on over anything, and it will make your outfit look sharper, and instantly more pulled together. Last year, I snagged an Anne Klein, oversized boyfriend coat with leather accents. I throw it on over everything and I instantly feel more stylish and like I deserve to strut down the street. Want to recreate this look and look chic walking down the street? Find out how to recreate this perfect fall look below.

Office Chic: Steal Her Look

Stalking celebrity style is outrageously fun, but for 99.9% of us, absolutely unattainable. However, the best part is finding pieces that can recreate the look for way less. Here is the always hilarious Emma Stone on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. How nice does she look?! Don't you want to wear this outfit out as soon as possible?

 This look is perfect for work (maybe add tights if the skirt is too short), brunch, happy hour, date night, etc. It's completely versatile and charming, while not being too boring or unoriginal. I am a huge fan of the skirt and sweater look ( as seen in my recent Look of the Day post), it looks adorable and can also hide any flaws you think you might be seeing in the mirror that day. The skirt that Emma is wearing is perfect. It's a lightly flared, plaid scuba skirt and looks great on her. Scuba skirts are marvelous. They look great on any figure, come in various lengths, and are available at numerous stores this season. The (potentially) cropped sweater she is wearing tucked in to the skirt looks fantastic, and the pop of red in her heels adds a nice touch of color to her monochrome look. This outfit looks great with the heels, but if you're not a heel person, it would look equally chic with some leather ankle boots or comfortable ballet flats for work. I personally haven't worn black nail polish since my high school days, when I thought I was cool and wore band shirts and denim minis (cringe!), but seeing it on Emma makes me want to try it out as an adult. Emma is wearing minimal accessories, however you can always spruce up this look with a fun statement necklace or an arm of bracelets.

Finally Feeling Fall: Outfit of the Day

Today, I gave in to fall. I have been resisting the chillier weather for a couple weeks now because I adore summer. However, now that I finally broke out my fall wardrobe, I couldn't be happier. After a summer in Asia, I forgot how nice it felt to be in a cozy sweater, and how great ankle boots look with everything I own.

Last weekend, I was smart enough to head over to H&M and luckily, I wasn't disappointed. Everything in the sale was an extra 50% off! How can you beat that?! Today when I had to pick out my outfit, I pulled out the new scuba skirt I got for the fantastic price of $3.50 ( UNREAL, please go to an H&M near you and experience this glorious sale), my favorite cable-knit burgundy sweater and some MIA ankle boots. Honestly, the look was perfectly adorable as well as being cozy beyond belief.

 My new favorite combination fall is definitely a great swingy skirt ( I have yet to try it with a pencil look- that's for next week!) paired with a sweater. It's a classy look that can take you from work to happy hour and can be worn with flats, sneakers, boots or heels. Honestly, what's not to love about it? I'm sure you already own a ton of cute and comfortable sweaters, so go out and treat yourself to a swirly skirt and some tights and try it! The sweater/skirt combo is extremely versatile and looks amazing on everyone.
