after seeing the thread about the capes being on sale, i decided to drag DH and the kids there today. This time, i actually found some stuff that could work..i think losing 10 lbs helped after all, I was actually able to fit into some stuff!! I would have shopped for more but it was getting close to the kiddos' nap time....i think DH was getting antsy too, LOL...
I tried on the capes in oatmeal and moss color. Here are pics, taken from Anthro dressing one (this dressing room doesn't look as cool as the one in elektra's pics! )
I ended up getting them both for now, since they were so cheap ($29.99!). It doesn't get that cold here, so I would wear these instead of a coat (this is the warmest thing i would need.). But what do you think about holding purses with this thing? Does it look weird? Or do you normally hold a small purse on the inside? I'm totally new to the poncho/cape thing.
Also, i found a skirt (very light corduroy material) and a top in sale section that actually seems flattering. I took a picture at home...sorry for the messy closet and dusty mirror..imo this all looks waay better IRL. DH said he thought it looked really good. I like the skirt bc it flares out and seems to really hide the tummy. Though, I don't know what shoes I'd wear with this. What about tights??
