Capes & Superheroes!

     Capes are all the rage this season- I'm seeing them everywhere i go! Speaking of which, did you guys go see hear about the Make-A-Wish Foundation & their Batman adventures? This was such an inspiration and since I couldn't go, I decided to cape up today so I'm there in spirit! Who doesn't want to feel like a superhero nowadays ;) I love how they're able to make any outfit stand out and for me, the piece also makes me imagine I'm a classy lady from Britain (does it make anyone else feel like way?)
     Since this Forever 21 cape (on sale!) was a textured beautiful, dark navy blue, I wanted to bring in a pop of color to brighten up this outfit since it was a gloomy San Francisco morning.This wool magenta mini from J.Crew was  perfect for the weather and the perfect color to offset the navy. Underneath (the stripes peeking through my cape) I wanted to keep warm so a turtleneck was the way to go! This striped one is also from J.Crew last season (what can I say, I'm a fan haha) 
     From the bottom up, I went with these Charlotte Russe wedges and some sheer stockings to keep it simple. This classic Louis Vuitton purse here is actually my mom's that I permanently borrowed a while ago (haha). I really wanted all the focus to be on the cape and I typically finish all my looks which some type of heel whenever I'm wearing a skirt or a dress to elongate the legs (trust me, it really works!) :) 
     
     Here is the finished look! Excuse the bad lighting, it was a dark morning :(
