I think it's safe to say most of us are in a better situation than Elle, whether we're still employed, or have partners with careers, children, or a permanent home. Elle has her cats that can't leave her
I think it's safe to say most of us are in a better situation than Elle, whether we're still employed, or have partners with careers, children, or a permanent home. Elle has her cats that can't leave herAlso I'm not saying i'm superior to Elle or anybody on any forum. The point I'm trying to make is her so-called 'better-off social economical status' doesn't justify her shopaholic behavior. It's really excessive.
I have a sense that most of her followers are not in a position where they can tell how many dresses a so-called 'girlboss' actually need. They probably don't know any real person comparable to Elle's online persona.
This!!! Elle is convinced that shopping excessively is a sign of being of a certain class. Um, no. Quite the opposite, if anything. There’s nothing wrong with buying expensive things if you can afford them. But nobody needs that many dresses, especially if they don’t even have a social life.Also I'm not saying i'm superior to Elle or anybody on any forum.

Probably cause it looks like a good knockoff of the lemon prints D&G did a few years back? And a nod to her "Italian heritage."She said she wanted to get a dress with lemon Capri-style print but it was sold out, but will buy it once it comes back in stock. She already has one!
That's what she said in the haul when she was pulling out fruit dresses a few years back. Ded.Probably cause it looks like a good knockoff of the lemon prints D&G did a few years back? And a nod to her "Italian heritage."
Haha this is great. Describes me too, other than the NYC and fashionable part (I admittedly am not fashionable — I prefer athleisure/no makeup on my days off). My husband is a software engineer and I work in finance. But we’re in the Midwest, so our salaries are way above anything necessary for a comfortable life here. But I haven’t bought any clothing/makeup/accessories for the past two years because I’m on my second investment property now, and my third by the end of the year. Don’t need a 28th capsule wardrobe as much as Elle obviously does.Nobody needs that many dresses. She literally just hauled $1000 worth of dresses.
I live in NYC (as many of you beautiful lurkers), two years younger than Elle, go out a lot (well, not now). I make a very decent 6 digit income and hold a title which most 'not-so-young' professionals like me and Elle should hold 8 years into our career. Also I consider myself quite fashionable.
Social support wise - my parents are doing OK and my fiance is more like Chris material. So basically i'm Elle but better.
Still, I can only justify buying one Reformation dress every year and consider that pretty generous budget already.
Also, I hate the materials for most Reformation dresses. Ethical and environmental friendly? Perhaps. Comfort? Hell no.
ETA: I really am not fashionable. I have a hard time knowing what goes with what, other than a white tshirt and jeans, and still probably don’t accessorize well. I can honestly say I really don’t know what I’m doing. So when you guys talk fashion on here I’m the one goingHaha this is great.

You’re very kind! Haha I wish I saw it that way, but I start sweating when I think about how cool most people my age and beyond dress. And it’s not like I don’t try (lately I’ve stopped though, not like I’m going anywhere), I just don’t have the eye to create and match outfits, and I know it’s an art/skill that some people are born with/cultivate over years of effort. I really don’t have the eye for it. But thank you for your kind encouragement!@LetThemEatLipstick: I'm sure you're a lot more fashionable than you give yourself credit for! Tbh athleisure/jeans and a simple top in muted colors with minimal make up and sunglasses seems to be the look a lot of models go for anyways so you're in good company. At least you're not wearing your grandmother's curtains and pushing your boobs out with pageant hair and makeup

I can’t watch Elle’s fashion videos because I get nothing out of them other than sleep — I can’t contribute to the fashion commentary the way many here can. But I so enjoy reading the reviews!
If I may add, stick to neutrals and solid colors. If you must wear a print, pick stripes, polka dots, or gingham, or at least wear small prints with just two or three colors max. Keep makeup to a minimum. This way, you can’t go wrong. And whatever you do, don’t follow any of Elle’s fashion “advice” —watch her only for the entertainment (not that you needed to hear that)!Dead @ the sleep comment.
I think if you feel uncomfortable coming up with your own outfits or just not particularly interested in thinking about it, it helps to find people with your body shape who are around a similar height and take inspiration from what they're wearing! I'm on the taller side with a slightly boyish figure so I really like a lot of the boho or model off-duty styles because it's easy, comfortable, and I feel like it works for my body. I also know that I would never be able to pull off something that Scarlett Johansson or JLo wears and that's ok. It's all about trial and error
She looks like a robot just booting up!!View attachment 141091
Thoughts on newest video:
-I suppose her channel has now turned into one mainly revolving around hauls and beauty, since she has no other content
-of course she needs another haul to satisfy her inner shopaholic
-the dresses are not flattering on her and are not very versatile in terms of wear-ability (aka you can only wear them on specific occasions).
-congrats on picking some of the worst prints from their dresses
-she looks awkward in those dresses and downright scary in some shots...please see photo above.
I caption it as "Hello, I am Eleanor...date me and see how I can be an amazing Stepford wife just for you, my sweet love...I will wait perfectly poised like this for you to come home to every night" said in her most robotic tone possible.
Loving the alliteration. Great title!My suggestion for the next title is Eleanor Lecocq: Scammer Squatting in Seattle
