The Cape

10/6/2013

It is so good to finally get my outerwear out of storage! One of my favorite pieces for the past two years has been this cropped trench cape from Forever 21. Not much capes are out right now in stores considering the coldness has not quite hit everywhere yet, but there are always great choices for little money. Capes are big staples for fall and winter, so I would definitely pick one up when you can. I have three or four of them, inexpensive ones of course, that are all different colors. With this adorable one, I paired it was a satin navy blue Forever 21 dress. This is a super cute dress that can be styled in many ways. It is great for weddings or just a date with the man. Unfortunately, it is old, so it is no longer available. I gave a suggestion to something with a similar shape that I love down below. Have you noticed how much love I have been giving my mustard heels lately? These are just absolutely perfect for fall. I would suggest trying out target for great clearance finds before they are all gone. For finishing touches, I wrapped a brown belt around my waist, cuffed on my gold chain bracelet, and threw my pearls in. So happy the weather is getting nice enough to start wearing my beloved capes again!

An update on my make up free October: Well, one week down! To be honest, it has been hard. Trying to find the confidence of feeling beautiful and facing strangers around town or campus is a difficult matter when you wear make up majority of the time. Yet, I can definitely feel my relationship with God growing in a way I have never experienced. I feel cleaner and revived. I can also say the time it takes me to get ready is reduced at least by 20 to 25 minutes, which is so precious (tehe). Thanks for the support and love from everyone. I am so excited to see where the rest of this journey takes me.
