Monogrammed Me

Capes n' Boots

Proper Layer

I am beyond relieved that this monogrammed cape survived the flames. It was draped over my dress form, which was directly in front of the window of one of the worst-affected rooms. This was not an expensive cape, but it is a perfect dupe for the Burberry Prorsum colourblock cape from Fall 2014. I added the monogramming myself and it looks uncanny! This was a one in a million find and knew it would be irreplaceable. The fashion angels sure had my back on this save! This just goes to prove that its not the value of my lost clothing that upsets me, but rather the uniqueness of those special finds such as this one. A specially curated wardrobe is built over time. At least time is on my side for the rebuild.

M is for Mimi

Ah, weekend lounging... I did a lot of R&R during the Easter long-weekend, which meant I wore my trusty leggings, sweater and slipper combo! I like this monogrammed sweater because I was actually able to snag one with the letter of my name! I like the letter M, it's so symmetrical! I guess my parents liked it too, seeing as all my siblings' names also start with this letter... Anyways, I sometimes like wearing simple and obvious graphic tops. They need no explanation. I also found these funky Muppet slippers hiding in my closet. I had completely forgotten about them! They are super comfy! The sole is like memory foam, so wearing these is literally like walking on a cloud! Yes, they are big, fluffy and over the top, but who says lounge wear can't also be a conversation piece?
