For me, Elaine from clothed much is the blogger who has inspired perhaps more outfit recreations than any other blogger. She is a maverick with clothing, working on an actual serious budget, and so she is endlessly inventive at recombining and remixing her limited closet. The other day, she posted this gem, which I immediately pinned to my pinterest thinking it would be perfect for spring. Turns out I (and Elaine, obviously) was right. Red, white, cream, and pink felt very springy and all the wool in this outfit kept me warm. Plus I thrifted most of this outfit...I feel like Elaine would be proud :)

This is such an Elaine outfit, but that ruffle cardi is totally you! Love the cross blogger inspiration :)
This is such a great Elaine outfit! She is a style genius - I used her for inspiration this week myself :).
But like Sarah said, the ruffle cardi is your own spin - love it!!
small time style
Cute =). Love the cardigan!
This is perfect! Elaine is a maverick and she always looks so chic, you pulled this off perfectly!
I love how simple and elegant this is! Very Elaine, but still Tania too. That ruffled cardigan is to die for!
I love it. I need something this simple and springy too!

I think you two are like style soulmates. Very nice version of her outfit! I love the sweater with the mix.
Both you and Elaine look great in those outfits!!

LOVE the pink, cream and red combo!
Love both your and Elaine's outfits, and even though they're similar I think the small details really individualize them. Very pretty!
OOOh! I LOVE how you styled this! I have a red skirt and love red and white but want to do something different than black accents... the cognac leather color is perfecto! thanks for the inspiration! i love reading your blog!
I love Elaine too! But you make this outfit look so perfectly effortless! <3

I like Elaine as well... but you're totally the blogger I'm inspired by (read: I copy) the most. :) I like the red/pink combo... very spring-like!
Better Than a Milk Mustache

I love the slight twist on the classic red and white color palette.
Love your thrifted skirt!
Love it!
Wow, that skirt and those wedges are quite the finds! I've been searching for wedges like that for a while but so far haven't come up with anything. I remember that outfit on Elaine's blog. I loved her white top, so feminine. But I think I actually like what you've done with the concept better...the simple tee and sticking with a neutral shoe, and I love the length of your skirt. Looks great!! Hooray for pinterest! That site is addicting!
Love how the two outfits almost look identical and yet this is very still "you." So cute. (hey, that rhymes!)

Even if Elaine isnt, I sure am proud! I love!
I adore Elaine. Her's is one of a short list of blogs that I check every day. You look very cute in this outfit.
WOW!! Great outfit!!
Elaine does have such great style, and you recreated this outfit so well. Warmth is key this time of year :)
I can't speak on behalf on Elaine but I give this outfit a high five! Love it.... and I kinda wish I couls speak on behalf of Elaine. That would be trippy.
I bet she will be. I love her style, and how effortless she is. I featured her on my blog a few weeks ago.

i love red with pale pinks! i have a bike that's a similar shade of blue and i think that red really pops next to the blue. will have to wear red on my bike more often!
Gosh, this outfit is so great! The red and the camel, the sweet cardigan, and the blue bike is a fantastic accent for the pictures. Beautiful!
I chuckled when i read the title of this post, b/c I completely got it. Love the outfit!
I copied your look kinda: http://lequeenvii.blogspot.com/2011/04/ostern-wochenende.html It's my new fave!!!
That's funny because I immediately though of Elaine when I saw this picture! You look fantastic! Her fashion is so inspiring.
You look so cute! I love it! I love the title too so clever! You look great!
I love Elaine, and I really liked this look on her, but it's great on you too! I wish I had a red skirt like that... Hm, maybe I need to hit the thrift stores this weekend!
