Sweet relief! Now that the weather is finally coat-compliant, I'm inspired to layer, cloak and sheath myself in as many textures and materials as possible. I simply throw on a cape, body con dress, leggings and boots and I've got a foolproof wardrobe equation (and a comfy one at that). Today's Etsy Finds present nine stylish ensemble ideas for your consideration. Peep the Fall Fashion style guide and the Winter Accessories Preview guide for more fashionable bits and bobbins.

Oct. 5, 2009 at 3:55 p.m. breadandroses2

My style? Somewhere between Saturday in the Park and Ebony & Ivory plus serious workaday outdoors gear on a daily basis: 1) Wool - the real deal & in all its incarnations, can't live without it; 2) Layers!; 3) Hoods & cowls are indispensable for keeping drafts/wind at bay.

A favorite from my shop:
