Ok...so here is the story of the magical cape. I was in Ohio with my boyfriend pet-sitting for his parents. The whole time I was there I did all the things I never really have time to do anymore. I relaxed, I cooked beautiful dinners, and I changed my outfit about three times a day. One afternoon I was feeling a bit English prep schooly, so I put on one of my American Apparel school girl skirts, a black sleeveless top with fabric around the collar that you can wear like a tie, and an over sized knit sweater. I also decided to wear my classy french nylon stockings that my bf gifted to me for Christmas. Here are some pics that I find quite humorous due to the sequencing...
I also really liked these...
Since I was all done up with really nothing to do, we decided to hit up an antique mall where I found cute vintage hats last winter. Well to my shock this particular vendor has managed to double their inventory since the first time I was there. Knowing my shopping habits quite well, I was smart enough to only bring (x) amount of cash money with me. This also meant not bringing any debit or credit cards btw! Well of course I immediately loaded up my arms with all sorts of goodies. I had a couple of hats, a maxi skirt that I'm hoping my bf will be able to snag for me before he returns home, a couple of purses, and etc. I was already over my cash limit but couldn't decide which items I wanted, so of course I carried way to many pieces all over this two story thrifting bonanza changing my mind a million times. But then...wait for it...I went upstairs and in mid-sentence dropped everything and shouted "cape!". I have been searching for the perfect cape since a couple of winters ago, with not much luck mind you. Sometimes there are just certain things that you can't let go, and mine was the cape! I tried it on in front of an old mirror and fell in love! It fit me perfectly, but was however over my price point. Then, a really nice lady popped up out of no where and immediately lowered the price for me! How about that? No haggling was even necessary. And with all of that said, here is my new cape...
And here is a little modeling action for you...
And so, that is the story of how I came to own this magical cape. If you are wondering why it is magical, please refer to the post directly below this one.
