Blanket Cape + Linkup

Cape (it's reversible) // top (only $12) // jeans // booties (comfy low-heel)

In case you might have missed my thank you, I really appreciated all your kind and truly heartfelt words to last weeks post. In many ways, it didn't feel like it was my story, but my sister and mom's. FYI they are doing well. Things aren't over yet. We're getting there.

Now back to my usual spill. I'll be honest, I have no clue what this blanket, cape/poncho is technically called (it's on MAJOR sale for $29). BUT you will get serious compliments. Perhaps they are jealous of how warm and cozy you look. I'll take it. Anyway, it's a purchase I made last year that I wore here before and doesn't look like I'll stop wearing it anytime soon. This look was perfect for an indulgent brunch with waffles. No problem trying to hide any food babies with this cape thing. All about fashion hiding food babies.

Now let's flashback to last year's look here. Grey, plaid and tan still make my heart sing. It's been raining like crazy here, so minus the booties (not rain proof) I think I should re-wear this look asap. But back to the booties. They were recently restocked in this color. I still wear them consistently and you can wear these walking all day. Can you tell I'm all about comfy? 

Thank you so much for linking up with us! Our picks are Kim from Champagneista and Sheela from Sheela Writes! We can't wait to see your posts this week!

The Poncho

reversible poncho // long sleeve // skinny jeans // booties (old, similar) // aviators // lipstick in barbara

When the weekend hits, and by weekend I mean Friday right about noon, my mind completely has food, sweets, and a good cocktail on the brain. Date night, girls night-yes and yes! Umm what resolutions? But you know what? I don't regret all those tacos, ice cream, and that $15 cocktail (okay, maybe just a little). The solution is a good poncho. They cover up all the evidence of a really indulgent meal and really makes people think you put a lot more effort in getting dressed. It doesn't hurt it's the closest thing to walking around with a blanket and being acceptable. Clearly, all wins in my book.
