Another FLY Cape
Hey Friday Loves! Today on my blog I’m featuring another FLY cape, and this ensemble includes multiple layers of warmth. The trick to pulling together this look is in the layering and color scheme. I wore a light weight yellow sweater as a base layer. Base layers are essential to keeping you warm. The fabric of the sweater is not only soft and comfortable against my skin, but breathes so I won’t get overly hot. Next I added a tuxedo vest for the fashion layer. I chose a vest so the color of the sweater could still show, as well as not create bulk. The next layer and focal point of the entire look is this lovely cape as the outer layer. The cape provides the overall warmth and style, but does not weigh me down like an oversized coat would. Next is my topper, which consists of a fedora hat. I love fedora hats because in my opinion they’re one of the most badass types of hats there are. They simply add fierceness to any outfit. Toppers in general are very important because they top off an entire look, and add another layer of warmth. Last but not least to complete this layered look, I added plaid leggings which adds the cohesiveness between the sweater, vest and cape. I really hope you’ve enjoyed this cape series, and I’m a little saddened it’s coming to an end. The good news is I LOVE CAPES so it NEVER truly ends! I’ve received so much positive feedback on this series that I’ll continue to style capes and provide inspiration throughout the...
Wanna Be Tartan Somethin’
Happy Monday Loves! I can’t believe it’s almost the end of January and sadly my Cape series is coming to an end. I’ve had so much fun sharing various ways to wear capes this season. I truly hope you’ve been inspired by at least one of the outfits I’ve shared. Since many of the capes I’ve shared so far have been a bit formal, today’s post provides a twist on a vintage tartan plaid wool cape that’s more casual. I decided to pair my cape with flared jeans. While this mod look is fun, it’s still elegant and chic. Yes, jeans can be chic! An outfit like this can easily be worn on a casual day out with friends. If you don’t wear heels, you can wear low-mid heel ankle boots or even flats. Theres so many reasons to add a cape to your wardrobe. They’re the perfect transitional piece that you can rock over just about anything. I also love how flattering they are to all body types. If you don’t own one already, I recommend getting your hands on one ASAP. I promise you’ll enjoy it for many years to come!

The Boss Lady
Hey Loves, I hope everyone enjoyed a fabulous long weekend, and had a chance to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. yesterday! I had a nice long weekend relaxing at the beach. Since most people are back to work today I’m providing style inspiration for a cape that’s befitting for the office. The dramatic silhouette of a cape is designed with everyday wearability making this a fun and essential piece to own. Capes are elegant and really are very versatile. I wore this warm layer over a crisp white shirt and trousers, but this stylish piece can also be paired with almost any outfit including your go-to weekend denim. The flexibility of capes make them an indispensable staple to your wardrobe you can wear again and again.

Shop With Dignity at The Flourish Market
I’m going to take a break from my Cape series and just scream “I’m seriously in love with this long sleeve tunic from The Flourish Market!!!” After seeing at it, can you blame me? The colors in the tunic are rich and vibrant, and make me happy every time I wear it. As you can see by my expressions, I’m really feeling myself in it! 🙂 In addition to the color, I love the material because it’s extremely soft and comfortable on my skin. The loose fit and flowy design allow me to not have to be confined on the days I just want comfort. Last but not least, it’s so easy to style because it’s versatile. Although I paired it with a long vest, you can also layer it by wearing a longer top underneath. The possibilities are endless! That exactly why this tunic has quickly become my staple top of the season. The Flourish Market is an online boutique, as well as brick & mortar store in beautiful Downtown Raleigh, NC. They’re all about spreading dignity across the globe by partnering with 32 brands that work all over the world, providing dignified jobs and fair wages to inspiring artisans and makers in vulnerable communities. I absolutely LOVE what they are all about, and can’t say enough great things about this business! Check them out and let me know what you think.

I remember at a very young age being mesmerized in my mother’s closet, and trying on her clothes which quickly became a hobby. As I grew older I not only enjoyed enhancing my look, but that of others, so the natural fit was to become a Fashion Stylist.
