A Peck on the Chic: cape

Just call me Bat-woman

So, if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you know that I won that Chili Cookoff! I couldn't believe it! I was so excited and it was such a simple recipe, maybe I'll share it with y'all sometime. My outfit today was perfect for this beautiful Fall day. It's days like this that remind us Hoosiers why we love living here. There is nothing like the perfect Fall day and I'm sure that it isn't like this any where else (but I am biased after all).

I randomly found this shawl on Shoedazzle years ago and it has since been a staple for this transition to Winter. The best part of wearing a cape is that you're basically a super hero (regardless of Edna's feelings on capes).

These shawls are super simple to wear as a main part of your outfit or as a "jacket" over a cute top. You have to have fun with your fashion!

How do you have fun with fashion?

Call me cat-woman

Alright, so maybe not a total skin tight cat woman look, but with a cape and pleather I felt it was a semi -accurate title. Capes are not only functional, but fashionable! I like the drama...pause for shock. I mean come on, who doesn't associate a cape with super heros? or models? I'm good with being mistaken for either!

I am currently obsessed with layering long necklaces, for an extra dramatic look. This long chain locket from fossil is super cute, but it was always a very simple look until I added the pewter chain necklace too.

I think that is my favorite part about fashion and fall, layering. You can take any item in your closet and transform it into so many different looks. It's so important to mix and match or you will become (more) crazy about purchasing new items. I try to remind myself that I have so many outfits still unexplored with all the items I currently own. Alright, alright, that does not keep me from the occasional and sometimes excessive shopping, but if def. helps!

What's your way of refreshing old items?
