The time has come where I need to start wearing coats out and considering turning my heat on - I haven't ran heat or air conditioning in my apartment since the end of August and it's been great. I wasn't made for the cold - if you find that I ever stop mentioning (or complaining I suppose) about the drops in temperature, either I'm in Florida or it's an impostor of me. Speaking of winter - my husband suggested a month of posts themed around his homecoming. What do you think?
This coat is a favorite of mine. I bought it in 2007 when we went to California, and I mistakenly thought I shouldn't pack a coat, even though it was December. My (now) sister in law and husband mocked my cape as a Harry Potter cloak - but look now guys - I'm totally in style 5 years later. And here's a little gem for you, my husband and I in Disneyland in 2007.

That cape is so cute! You were totally ahead of the trend :). And I'm dying over that flashback picture... You look so young! I have a 2007 Disneyland photo with Kevin but it's pretty embarrassing haha!

I hate the cold too. It's probably the worst time EVER, but this cape is totally awesome. I've yet to figure out how capes work? So kudos to you and omg, you look like a baby in that photo. AND I love the tiny tiny heels on your shoes.
ReplyDeleteLooking straight out of Harry Potter has NEVER been a bad thing. This cape is the coolest and I'm jealous at how well you pull it off. I'm really loving the top too, I love sheer necklines. Also, can you make another trip to Disneyland next time I'm home? Because you should.
ReplyDeleteI adore your mani!
ReplyDeleteWe love this! Amazing look and fun photos<3

I am not a huge fan of the cold either... which is why I don't think I could ever venture far from the South. Loving that chic cape... you are totally ahead of the game. And yay for hubby's return!

I love that cape jacket! It's SO cute. I've definitely purposely forgotten to pack a coat before so I could buy a new one. That's terrible, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable as always and I hope you had a nice weekend :)
The cape is so cute (and anyway, who wouldn't want to look like the graduated from Hogwarts?)
ReplyDeleteanother great outfit. I love the cape!
ReplyDeletechic and sweet! in love with the cardi!

I see why this is your favourite capelet, what a gorgeous outfit, and pretty manicure as well. xo/Madison Happy Monday dear!
ReplyDeleteDisneyland!!!! Sorry, I got distracted there for a sec...i've always fancied Capes.
ReplyDeleteIt is really good that you wear a coat that you have had for a long time. Not many people will do that.

I love the nails shot. Also impressed with you braving it out sleeveless in the cold. I worry when the winter comes my outfit posts will fade away as does warmth and daylight!
ReplyDeleteThe swingy cape coat is so cute! Might as well forget to pack a coat so you can get a super cute one ;)
ReplyDeleteadorable nails

This is so darling! Your nails are super cute, for sure. I'm in love with you heels-such great detail on them! And girl, you have such a rockin' figure. That black top flatters you so well.
ReplyDeleteI always underestimate how cold it is going to be outside. My husband makes sure there is always a spare coat in our vehicle so he doesn't have to hear me complain when it gets chilly out!
Gah....that coat! I'm so not a coat person either, but I would wear that beauty in a heartbeat! I really love pieces that you can hold onto for that long & they are still in style. I'd say that's a timeless piece. You & your hubs are adorbs by the way:)
ReplyDeleteLove those nails! I never wear polish as playing instruments makes it hard for me to keep my nails from chipping. I should reconsider though. Those are just too stinking cute! <3 Marisa

ReplyDeleteCute cute cute! I love the nails and your amazing little cape jacket. It's definitely right on trend. I had a jacket like that when I was little. My mom made it for me. I wish I had an adult sized one now!
