Cape Drama




















cape-Le Tote Maternity, blouse-Anthropologie(similar here), sweatpants-J.Crew(similar here), boots-Forever 21(similar here), bracelet-Banana Republic(similar here), ring-Jewel Mint, necklace-Gifted

 This drama-filled cape is yet another fun piece from Le Tote Maternity. I featured other pieces from that tote here and here. Truth be told, I would have never considered a patchwork cape as an outfitting option to buy outright. But, to borrow via a clothing subscription, it's a great piece to play around with and not have to fear buyer's remorse, or feel the need to keep wearing it (to justify the purchase) if it doesn't necessarily mesh with one's overall personal aesthetic. 

 Speaking of personal aesthetic I'm loving the color palette in this outfit. Teal, navy, with some magenta equals a cool-toned take on autumnal hues. I'm huge fan of navy in general and even though I'm sporting a fall fashion chic look, navy on it's own is really a seasonless/timeless color. And these wool sweatpants are so comfy, yet sharp. I've been sporting them for work and they are like incognito dressy trousers. 

 I'm also loving the laidback silhouette, which again, as in yesterday's post is giving me some Golden-Girls-Realness, check out a similar patchwork piece on Dorothy!
And this listicle on Golden Girls fashion tips from Buzzfeed here! 
I may have stumbled into the latest trend in maternity fashion, just copy a Golden Girls episode, I'll have to think on this some more... In the meantime let the cape drams commence with a few silly pics:



I guess this is my take on a super-hero pose because you know I'm wearing a cape!

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
