wrong side of the tracks

2.18.2011






Public Beware cape. Vintage skirt. Opening Ceremony boots.


Another prized-possession to add to my cape phase, which will hopefully be my last. The tent..ier the better, and this was all sorts of crazy with draped, two-toned swatches and lots and lots of button hooks (that I convince myself is ‘versatile’) which sealed the deal for me. Thankfully the rainy forecast allowed me a chance to wear it when I thought it was warming up. I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality and craftsmanship of the clothing! Kudos guys… kudos.

The 'tattoo' is fake. I get a lot of shocked / confused reactions from my friends. I bought them here... because you know, it's cheaper than buying Chanel and less permanent than the real thing. And the boots, well, they rock my world. I'm still eating frugally to pay them off, but it's been worth it. Next post: HAIRCUT. And I've been getting some questions about my beauty routine so I'll get working on that too. Till then, have a great weekend!

Oh, the boots. And that would be weird, getting all those reactions on the tattoo, but I agree... and it's nice for a change.

MICHELLE said...

That cape totally rocks! Agreed, I enjoyed the little rain we got. Short but sweet.

I still can't get a hold of a cape for myself yet you're snagging phenomenal ones left and right! This one especially is so great!! The detailing from the collar to the draping is to die for!

omg, I get so nervous when I see people on train tracks! eek. Final destination flashback, I suppose.

Anyways, you are the miss master of cape finds. What's your secret?

I thought you drew on your arm? I have the Chanel tats and they are honestly worth it.

This is totally random but were you at the Zara in South Coast Plaza sometime last weekend? I think I saw you there....either that or you have a very stylish twin out there!

I wasn't sure if it was you or not so I didn't say anything, and I didn't want to seem like a creeper or anything haha :)
