Yesterday I was wandering around my local Target in search of cough drops (allergies still bad) and a double tall soy latte (although the Starbucks in Target takes f.o.r.e.v.e.r) so naturally I wandered into the clothing section. And I happened to spy a row of capes lined up in the clearance section! This Mossimo Faux Fur Collar Cape only cost me $14.98! Not bad for winter outerwear! However, I think this cape is too thin to stand up to temperatures below 40 degrees, which was today’s high. It was practically a heat wave :) I also took the faux fur collar off the cape and replaced it with an actual fur scarf. I wish this cape fit me as well as the model! I’m a true petite but at $15 I shouldn’t really be worried about alterations.
I swear I’m wearing a dress under that cape! Plus the new black Alternative Apparel burnout tee and black tights from the drugstore? under HUE burgundy tights. I was inspired to buy burgundy tights (although I remember hers being more reddish – mine are more of a wine color) by Jessica of What I Wore. Back in the fall she wore them with this fabulous white dress and I knew I had to go find some of my own!
I’m thinking maybe I should try a longer skirt next time? You can barely see the dress I have on and I think the proportions would be better if my clothing was actually visible :P I can’t wait to remix this cape with another outfit!
