I got this red cape-ish thing the other night at Honeys (you can actually see it in the February issue of Zipper.) When I first tried it I wasn’t sure what to think, but after being persuaded to buy it by R, I have to say this has been one of my favorite things that I have bought here!

The material is great for spring in that it’s not too thin, but makes a good layering device. I love the length and style of the sleeves, too. In the picture I am wearing it with skinny jeans from Express and a plain black long-sleeve turtleneck, which I use as an inner layer for almost everything I wear. I am also wearing a belt from Uniqlo, but you can’t see it :P

My reasons for buying this:
- I like red things, and red so happens to go with my skin tone/hair
- this was the last red cape thing in stock (probably because it was in Zipper)
- it is fairly neutral without being boring
- it creates a nice silhouette for people with my body type
- the quality of the material is good
- works well with layers
- can be worn in either spring or fall

Lately I have been into simple cuts in neutral colors, but with a twist. Trends and fads change all the time so I try to stay somewhere in the middle, looking for clothes that are interesting but won’t fizzle out of style too soon.

      I love this cap-ish thing on you. Looks great - red definitely is a great color for you….this also reminds me of the time you were Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween

      Thanks!! Unfortunately putting it in a dryer here in the dorm made a button commit suicide. But once I have it patched up, I will probably wear this all the time.
