Caped

While Beefy and I were on our Michigan vacation, I persuaded him to take me to Goodwill one snowy afternoon. There, I found the olive pencil skirt I’d been wishing for and Beefy spotted this new-with-tags cape. He graciously surrendered it to me.


Cape, Mossimo (thrifted). Poncho (underneath), Newport News. Turtleneck, Merona. Skirt, Mossimo. Tights, We Love Colors. Boots, Miz Mooz. Bag, Lewis (thrifted and vintage)


I’m discovering that a cape is more practical than I might have thought. For instance, it is the only outerwear one can comfortable wear over a poncho.



The cape has purple lining!
As you might have guessed from the festive color combination, we were on our way to a holiday party. I added a perky pair of antlers to complete my Christmas-y look.


Beefy got into the spirit of things, too, and wore my Valkyrie Santa hat:

Still photos don’t do it justice.
