One Day... (What I Wear)

Yep, blame Phyllis Nefler for my near life-long fashion goal.

I want a dress cape. I got close in 1998 to buying a dress suit with a cape but I only had $100 and that particular suit was $375. I settled for this great Kasper Scarf Suit. I loved that suit.

It's no secret I love to dress up. Oh it was nothing for me to dress up "just because" in high school and college. Probably one of the reasons I was referred as "Dime Piece" behind my back at Lamar University. I didn't care if I was overdressed just to go to class. If I wanted to dress up, I did. I'm not a flip flops and jeans everyday type of girl.

As little girl, I often day dreamed about the flair and flash of being stylish. You walk in and command attention without saying a word.Nothing demands attention like a cape. I used to take my outer coat off with flair just practice for the day I wore cape. Amazingly enough, no one ever asked my why. I see capelets on suits are becoming popular again.

They are cute. I've tried a few on. I didn't like me in one. I look restricted. I'll stick to a full cape. Long or short, they all are cute. And I know I would be cute in one. Preferably in Navy Blue or Heather Grey since I don't wear all black suits. Plus an all black suit with a cape look rather vampire like. LoL That reminds me of a bank/cops/comic book store story I'll have to tell you guys, one day. Keyword is One Day.

Ooh I came across this beauty of a bridal gown.

If I wasn't so clumsy and fear tripping over it on big day, I would consider wearing a cape on my wedding if I have a cool weather wedding. I can just see me arriving to the beginning of the aisle, opening my cape to reveal my dress like Shelley Long in Troop Beverly Hill and then starting my walk to my groom. I told you, I love the flair aspect of dressing. All eyes should be on me on that day anyway so, let me give them something to see. ☺☺☺

So that is something I want to wear. I guess you can say a suit cape is on my Fashion Bucket list. When I get one, I'll post a blog about it and let you guys know. And if you see one that you think would good on me, don't be afraid to point me in it's direction or even better get it for me as a gift. ☺☺☺
