This week we both wore outfits with tops layered under dresses. Have you tried it? Layers and pops of color are a few of our favorite ways to make winter outfits a little more fun.

If you’re looking for a little creative inspiration, Keri Smith has this really cool 100 Ideas creative project — and it’s meant to be done with a notebook! I’ve attempted doing it myself, but I’m terrible at these sorts of projects, haha.

I love these outfits. The little pops of color and details with the layered shirts are so cute! I have the same shirt as Elsie and I never thought of putting it under a dress. I love the little details on Emma’s blouse. Super Cute.

You guys look awesome! Hope you kick that Winter-blues’ butt!
You gals look amazing! Both of your dresses are absolutely adorable. I really need to pair shirts under my dresses more, I usually rely on cardigans, but sometimes that is just too much material!
Have a great weekend ladies!

Love the polka dot blouse under the dress! Fun activity: I bought window markers that crystallize after a few minutes. I bought them for some young friends, but I’ve had tons of fun using them myself. 🙂

Gorgeous as always! Layering is so great for winter.
I love your just-for-fun notebook idea! I’m hoping to do more just for fun stuff to beat the winter blahs. Bowling is high up on my list. It’s something I did a lot as a kid. Do you guys like bowling?
Have a great weekend!

The outfits look fun! I will have to try the shirts under dresses thing.
I really need some glasses like the ones Elsie is wearing! So beautiful.
Sooooooo Cute!
I love your blog, especially the fashion and food post!
exciting times! you both look great.
I love your outfits! 🙂 I haven´t found my own style yet, so these posts are really inspiring for me!

Elsie, how do you wear your lipstick? do you use a lip pencil as well lipstick and if so what shades of pencil and lipstick do you use? It looks ah-may-zing!

Gosh, I am so loving your hair colours!
you look gorgeous !!
have a look at my new post: http://www.thestilettoholic.com/
When I get the winter blues, I like to plan a “hot” day. I visit the tropical plant house at our arboretum (which they keep hot!), then I visit a place with a sauna or hot tub (my gym has one, but we also have spas here that have them), and then I go out for Hawaiian food and tropical drinks. Tricks the mind…temporarily anyway.
Looks like a cute little place – you girls are so adorable!

This is sweet!
As for ideas I would love for you to include some more thrift store finds in your fashion posts like you used to.
I think it would be fun for both of you to have a little challenge, where you see who can create the most inspired outfit solely from thrift store items that meets a certain budget for example $30.
Not only would it be fun, but a bit of healthy competition usually bears the best results!
Something to consider 🙂
Becky ooxo
wow awasome
I love both your styles!
I’m looking at different ways to pull of bright coloured tights and love that look! Really brings your outfit together 🙂
And the floral dress to so pretty!
Lovely pics!! Your pics show how lovely is your moments together 🙂

Love those outfits and pictures! Amazing.
YELLOW tights?? Does it get any better than that! 😉 LOVE your sister style posts girls.
I love it how you both have dressed up your outfits with a dash of colour – purple shoes and yellow tights! So cute. Projects – I’m always on the hunt for new projects too but I usually get my inspiration from you both. x
All of you look great.
Being English, layering over here is practically a necessity! You both look lovely girls. Emma´s dress is especially nice. 🙂

Hi girls,
I love reading your blog and it really inspires me.
In this post, I really love Elsie’s hair highlights, please can you tell me what you’ve had done and what I should ask for at the salon.
(long time reader first time commenter!)
I’ve never layered stuff under dresses before, but I’ll be giving it a go now… You both look amazing. xx
Love the outfits. <3 Emma, have you ever thought about bangs? I'm sure they would look amazing on you. 🙂
Oh how I wish I lived in the US! We don’t have any cool diners over in England! Looks like you guys had fun.

Great outfits! I love Emma’s dress especially! Sorry, this isn’t a DIY/project/just for fun idea… in fact it’s kinda unrelated. But – I was wondering if you could share a recipe for homemade Graham’s crackers? I live in the UK and can’t buy them here; I don’t even really know what they are! (Yeah :O – I know!). If you could do a post on that some time, that would be seriously amazing!!
Thanks for always being so inspiring!
OMG, i love your style, it is really unique, but yet chic and almost like olden days/retro!!! 🙂 <3 love it!
You both look so beautiful! 🙂 And layering is awesome! I’ve always loved it 🙂
please teach me how to make tea bags, some girlfriends and I have been wanting to try that and don’t know how!
love your hair girls!

Great project idea, I just made my own Valentines! Haven’t done that in years and it was so much fun and I can’t wait to give to my kids! Have a great week girls.
You guys are so cute…do your local museums have a free day? I usually go on that day and then go for a chai.
Love these! You girls both have gorgeous hair!
I have been really into colored tights lately! I have them in almost every color. I need to start figuring out to wear them!

Adorable outfits!
Had a sleepover with Iliana and Audrina and they both yell “That”s Emma!!!” when we were looking at the blog 🙂
Clara- we have an article about making your own tea bags. Here it is- http://abeautifulmess.com/2011/09/loose-leaf-tea-make-your-own-tea-bags-.html
I loooove your hair (colours) Elsie!! You dont, by any chance, know the (name of the) colours that were used? They fit together so perfectly well!
Sometimes staying motivated in winter can be tough, but new projects are always fun to keep you on your toes and stay creative.
I absolutely love the bright pop of yellow and purple in these pretty black outfits! Black is kind of my thing!!
You are both absolutely beautiful! Loving your hair Elsie. Happy Birthday Emma for today!
Still enjoy A beautiful mess so much.. so inspiring.
Elsie, I love that yellow with the brown and black (or is it blue… it doesn’t matter). Emma, the white under that dress is perfect. So delicate and fem. You girls!
Lovely looks!
Elsie, I love the length of your bangs and the way you’ve styled them here. Super cute!
Cute outfits and great pictures! Love the yellow tights! 🙂

I love your yellow tights with a black dress! I always grab my colored tights, but feel too “flashy” when I pair them with things. I’ll have to give your inspiration a go!
