All about the cape

What better way to procrastinate writing your 10 page paper on seal harvesting than to write a blog post about an OOTD?!
As the title says, this look is all about the cape! It was given to me by one of my closest friends who wasn’t getting use out of it and it’s a gem.
I thought I’d pair it with a skirt so that it would just peak out of the cape with my turtle neck showing on top as well.
This look is a little out of the ordinary for me, which is what I love.

So far this week has been crazy, I studied for a ridiculous amount of time and I’ve completed three midterms. I’m glad they’re done with although I can’t help but to wish I was still on vacation in Toronto. Instead all I have left of my trip are my great memories and a couple of pictures to look back on. This look was fun to shoot with my S\O on our last day in TO (thanks again bae). I’m particularly fond of this outfit because of the statement burnt orange jacket. It’s not something I’d usually go for but it was an amazing deal in the sale section at Zara so I thought it would be a great and unique piece to add to my collection. I based the rest of my look around the jacket so kept my pants\shoes\hat plain black and the sweater is also muted and doesn’t take attention away from the jacket.

Against the plain – Pt. 3

Happy Hump Day! (aka Wednesday)
This is my ideal comfy yet put together outfit for school.
I’ve seen others pair the same colour on the top and bottom recently and it always catches my eye so I thought I’d give it a go!
I threw on a blanket scarf for extra warmth and comfort. If you don’t already have one, I’d strongly recommend investing in a giant scarf because they are a life saver when it’s chilly in class and is used as my shield against the cold wintery months when walking outside on campus.

I look like a burrito of oatmeal and I’m ok with that. (mmm oatmeal)

shoes: Aldo
pants: Topshop (sale)

Pairing the old with the new

A common quote I live by is “you can never go wrong with an all black outfit”. You’re guaranteed that all the items will go together, and you can have fun with textures and shapes; as I’ve stated in a different post previously. A piece I particularly like in this outfit are the ripped black jeans. I bought those bad boys in Time Square (NYC) during my “emo days” (circa 2009-2010) as some would call it, and never wore them until very recently. A perk of staying the same height/weight since grade 9 is that you have double the wardrobe compared to others who grew to be 6ftsomething. Ripped jeans are very “on trend” as of late, yet I didn’t have to spend a penny on these, just had to dig through my closet!
