My favorite thing to wear in the fall is a plaid shirt, and today I thought it’d be fun to dress it up and channel Blair Waldorf à la Gossip Girl for this look. Because when in doubt, dress like you’re in Gossip Girl, that’s my motto. Or something. I don’t know. This whole summer I feel like my uniform was jean shorts + tank top + sandals, and so I’m trying to force myself to branch out this fall and to remember to dress like a girl sometimes too, i.e. dresses and skirts and whatnot. Although, honestly, the best part of any day is at the end of it when you get home and change into yoga pants + messy bun + sweatshirt, you feel me?
What’s your favorite fall fashion item?

I can definitely see Blair’s style in this outfit. I love how you layered the pieces, it looks really well put together. And yes, plaids are awesome for fall, they’re some of my favourite fashion items this time of year. :)

Aw you are so sweet, Madeline! :) Layering is definitely my favorite thing to do in the colder weather- it’s a must!

Big cosy jumpers are my favorite! However I am rather inspired to find a cosy plaid shirt! Love the look with a skirt!
I love big cosy sweaters, as well! And thanks Debbie! :)

Oh I do love me some Blair Waldorf style! I remember when she was wearing headbands on every episode and I could NOT get enough headbands! :)
YES. I was the same! “If Blair Waldorf wears headbands, I must wear headbands” and whatever else, was basically my mentality during that time of my life, haha

Love love love gossip girl!! And I love this outfit { Blair is my favorite }!! Favorite fall fashion item, has been legging/workout capris, because they can pass very easily as just legging capris, yet I’m so so comfortable and there is warmth!
Blair is my favorite too!! :) I think I might have to Netflix some Gossip Girl today- I’m just feeling drawn to it haha! And YES, this year I’m doing the same- wearing my workout leggings with my everyday outfits. A. Nobody can tell the difference, B. It’s SO comfortable, and C. They aren’t see-through!! Win-win-win!

Love, love, love your red coat! It looks perfect with your plaid shirt and Hunter boots. Fabulous look!
Aw thanks so much Jennie!! :) I’m usually so drawn to just wearing neutrals in the fall, but pops of color really liven things up a bit! Especially on these dreary days!

I love everything about this outfit! Sometimes you just have to channel your inner Blair Waldorf.
Amen to that.

I am a fan of red coats, I have several and love the layered look with the over the knee socks and the plaid top, you look great.

Thanks so much, Jess! I love red coats, too, and definitely think I need some more red in my wardrobe in general. It’s so fun for winter!

oooooh yoga pants and sweatshirt, you are speaking my language :)
Haha, but for real though.

Hey, is your coat new or an older purchase? :) You’re so cute!
Aw thanks Megan! :) Unfortunately, this coat is old :( But I linked to a few similar items in the post!

I found it on ebay :) Thanks!
Ahh that’s so awesome!!! YAY! :) Good hunting! ;)
Thank you for the inspiration!! Now I am a hardcore copy cat but that’s okay. By the way, just want to tell you – you are definitely one of the nicest bloggers I have ever come across, to answer all your readers comments like this! Thanks for brightening the internet like that :)
Megan!!!! You just made my day! :) Thank you so much- it just makes sense to me- if you take the time to comment OF COURSE I’m going to reply!! :) Anyway, you are too too sweet.
Hey lady, super quick question for you… did you hem your coat? I got mine and it seems quite a bit longer. Maybe you are just super tall! I am going to have mine hemmed but just curious about yours! xo
No, I didn’t hem mine- I’m 5’8″, so that may have something to do with it… ;) I hope you can get it to the right length!

Thanks duuuuuude. Do you mind also sharing what size yours is, and am I right that your coat falls about 2 inches above the knee? It’s aallll about the details, man.
How are you so darn cute?! You totally pull of this look so well. I love it!
This is such a cute and cozy outfit! I love your coat and those socks, and you look so put together.
Absolutely love this outfit, especially the hunter boots! Yours look really cute on you! I have 5 pairs myself and love every one of them! I think a white or pink pair would be super cute on you. What do you think?
OMG yes, I have been wanting a pink pair of Hunters!!! They are so adorable! Lucky you with your 5 pairs!
xo
Crazy cute outfit!! But, I am 100% on board with the end of the day part. ;) It’s usually the first thing I do when I get home haha!
YES, it’s always the first thing I do when I get home too! Cute outfits are great, but comfy is where it’s at when at home!

This is so cute!! I’m excited to layer my socks and tights again now that it’s cold! (one of the only good things about it being cold) You look darling and we have the same hunters ;)
