the Cape

Hey all!  Sorry I've been slacking on the new post front lately.  I find it very difficult to find time (i.e. sunlight!) this time of year to photography my recent looks.  Luckily, I was able to snap some pictures over the weekend and I'll be sharing the rest of those looks with you real soon...

So I hope you enjoy this first look of this week.  I simply adore this cape but literally haven't worn it since this post nearly 2 years ago.  I wanted to keep with a neutral color palette: black, beige + white.  I added a bit of dimension by layering this black + white striped top with this black short sleeve dress.  Though the dress maybe could be a bit longer, the over-the-knee boots provide the necessary balance, while minimizing the amount of 'leg' showing.  And the leopard clutch?  Well that just ties the entire look together!  If you like stripes, you could opt for a striped long sleeve dress, like this one for only $34.  Happy Styling!   ...and Don't forget to follow along via Instagram
