Fresh Picks to Follow: The Dramatic Cape

I’m so happy that it’s Friday everyone because I have been looking forward to this weekend for a couple of months.  I signed up for the Marine Corps half marathon at the end of August and it’s finally time to run.  I have been training for the past couple of months and I’m ready for all 13.1 miles.  I’ll post a race-recap about it very soon. 


Anyways, this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow was inspired by Pamela from Ginger Girl when she wore an old beautiful cape from Anthropologie.  The cape is making a comeback this fall and it’s been called one of the must haves for the season.  I have to say that I never really paid attention to this trend over the past couple years.  Capes reminds me a little of a combination of the fairy tale - “Little Red Riding Hood” and the super hero - “Superwoman.” However, the capes that are designed today are much more than a flowy piece of fabric with a neck tie made famous by our favorite storybook characters.  Today’s capes are far more elegant, versatile and figure-flattering. They come in various fabrics, sizes and colors - from cashmere to wool, ankle length to knee length, camel to fall colors or plaids.  What I love about the cape is that it is both stylish and it looks comfortable. The cape is a great accessory to wear with any outfit as an alternative to a jacket.  I plan to try to try on some capes to see if this item is something I need in my wardrobe.  I do live in Florida after all.  Check out my top 10 capes for this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow.  Let me know what you think.  Do you plan on buying a cape or do you already own one?

Fresh Picks to Follow: Colored Jeans

I’m so happy that it’s Friday everyone…I had a hell of a work week.  Actually, it was just one really bad day at work, but it took over the entire week.  I hate days like that.  I’m hoping that my weekend will take my mind off of everything that happened this week.  I plan to go for a long run Saturday morning and relax for the rest of the day.  I’m gearing up for my first half marathon for the year which is next Saturday.  I’m little worried because I just starting feeling a little pain in my knee.  I’m hoping that it doesn’t get worse. 

Anyways, this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow is all about colored jeans.   This trend began earlier this summer and it’s a great transition piece for the fall season.  This is actually one trend that I could start wearing now even though it still feels like summer here in Florida.  I plan to get a pair of colored jeans soon.   I’ve mentioned that the Anthropologie Steve Ankle jean is on my wish list, but I haven’t bought them yet.  I may have to go to Urban Outfitters or Forever 21 to purchase a more cost effective pair of jeans.  Check out my top 10 colored jeans for this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow. Let me know what you think.  Do you plan to add a pair of colored jeans to your wardrobe? Or do you already have a pair?
