I was "saving" my sequin, vintage cape to wear this summer over floaty dresses, but since I'm beginning to doubt the existence of summer I decided to mix it up with jeans and a tee instead. It's good to try a different look every now and then; like wearing one of the several pairs of jeans I own that don't get much attention. When I was in high school I used to wear jeans every day, not because I liked them but because I was self-conscious of my pale legs! Around my senior year I got over that silliness and started to actually wear clothes I enjoyed. Despite the fact that I am in jeans, this is definitely an enjoyable outfit to me. It feels more casual and eclectic than my usual looks; like a spring breeze after a winter spent locked up indoors.

Cute outfit; the cape is so pretty!

Brilliant colors for U! :)

That cape is truly gorgeous! I searched all winter for one and couldn't find out (at the thrift) and gave up for the warmer months, but you've just shown me that capes can be a year round fashio staple! I better start looking again. Love, Annie.
that cape is to. die. for.
Your sequined top is definitely one of those unique items that totally MAKE the outfit... It looks like a fun addition to brighten up or spunkify a more 'plain' outfit... I like the way you're wearing here with a more casual outfit. You look great in jeans! But I'm glad that you 'got over' your pale legs... pale is beautiful! I like the necklace you chose to wear too. Nice contrast.
Ugh. About the weather... I know what you mean. Fellow Washingtonians unite in coffee shops to pass the drizzling days with books and fashion blogs... guess I didn't need to bust out my summer clothes just yet...
Love that cape! Yesyes, it'll look lovely with dresses, but it really makes this outfit (:

Ha, I realized I was signed into my brother's gmail account before and left you a comment under his name (Rory). Now I wonder how often I've done that!
So pretty! Loving the pairing of the cape with jeans.
I was the same way in high school (probably mostly because of growing up with school uniforms). Too many cute dresses have sat unworn in my closet over the years. You have totally inspired me to wear them daily - despite odd looks and impracticalities. :o)
I love the way you layer!! awesome :)
Your hair looks so pretty in these photos, amazing shoes!

how sequin-y cute! love how the color of the cape, wooden platforms and stitch on the jeans are similar.. Love it to bits and pieces!! i am highly little drunk this morning, please pardon the hiccups...
oh wow, that cape is just incredible. i especially love it with the shoes, and how it pops against your jeans.
PS mmm don't you just love the smell of the forest after it rains?
The sequined cape is lovely~~
Such a pretty cape

I think the weather gets a bit warmer and drier in July/August. :)
The detailing on that cape is exquisite!
I love the cape! And I'm glad you got over your self-conciousness about your legs. I didn't wear dresses often in the beginning of high school either, but always because I felt like I'd look overdressed to all my classmates. I'm glad I got over mine too because I couldn't imagine NOT wearing dresses now!
And boo, summer has definitely arrived on the East Coast with all its humidity, hopefully it makes its way to you!
That cape is cape perfection!!! And Im glad you got over your leg fear, now its my turn!!

I love the detail of your cape and the necklace!
I love how you match colours in your outfits
Wow! I really love this outfit and think you look great in jeans. :) You could pull off anything, really... especially with awesome shoes like those!
The cape is so cute!
Wonderful landscape and very nice cape!
great cape.
gorgeous cape! i'm going to have to steal this vintage lace cape with striped tee look. those shoes your sisters gave you are very rock star. beautiful photos (as always). i really love the last one of you walking away.
i love your shoes!!! :D
What a great look. LOVE that cape. Love it. Love the detail shot of it squished in there too. Perfect! You look good in jeans!
I love how you've paired the sparkly cape with something more classically casual. It's so unconventional and unexpected--but it works amazingly well! Love it!!!

wow, those shoes are so awesome! and you look absolutely gorgeous and sophisticated in jeans!
Super cute! Love the combination and the sequins. Probably one of my favorite pieces of yours!
I love the yellow and blue ensemble, it definitely makes me think summer when I see those colours together. And as for that cape, it is beautiful! I love the detail shots of the little sequins and beads. Ahh I am so jealous.
That cape rocks! You styled it very well :)
I have to say, that if you want summer, come to MI! It is has been 80 almost everyday for 2 weeks.
And we have hair lift off!
Most people need a giant fan to achieve such good hair action in pictures!
That sequined cape is so so pretty! I love it with such a casual look - it works!
omg. such a cute outfit! love the sequined cape and strappy heels!
I love those shoes, they really make the cape stand out because of the yellow!
i think your style is awesome!
I have a random question though, how tall are you in inches or feet/in?

So rare to see you in jeans. Cute look! The shoes are so great :) x
You got a cute style <3
I like you style. I think fashion is all about mix and match. You have a good eye for details. I think the Seychelles shoes are very funky!!!

Hope you will like it, I will keep reading you blog :)
I do love the vintage cape.
I think I can understand now why you're able to wear cute coats and long sleeve dresses with tights all year. Esp in that Climate. Sometimes I think it would be amazing to live in Victoria (my first hometown) and live in a similar climate as England, but then I think about how I am affected by dreary weather and rethink my ideas.
You seem to love WA a lot, though. There's just something so enchanting about pastoral landscapes.
XXs,
Mae, thereafterish.
that shirt is awsome! all the details are crazy, and mixed with those stripes, looks so cool!
i love your blog, deffinitly going to be following!

Did you change your RSS feed? Your images don't show up on my bloglines anymore suddenly. Never had a problem before.
so wish i had bought the shoe! you're teasing me once again! gorgeous yellow cape!
omg, pics 3 and 5 are sheer perfection. i love ur cape!
hi! Thanks, i was just curious (not sure why).. i guess because you look tall, like 5'8" not 5'1"! (i'm pretty short too, 5'3") :)
anyway, i think you're a really great photographer/model (if you're the photographer)
Hi Rebecca! I hope everything is well in your part of the world. I've been away from blogs for way, way too long. It's nice to be in some familiar places again. Especially yours, with such wonderful scenery and, of course, awesome clothes. Your hair is getting long!
gorgeous post darling xoxo
this is one of your most wonderful outfits! love the cape...
yeah, thank you, that's a good idea. true, standing next to taller people would make you look shorter but i also think its because you were wearing heels and maybe have long legs? I'm not sure...
well, you take great shots, really, im super jealous of your style! its so cute and unique! :)
i'm trying to become a better photographer too but i dont have the right equipment like a tripod and such, i have a decent camera though..
what cuased you to decide to blog about fashion and yourself?
your wearing pants!!! and you look good in them too. i love your shoes...where do you buy seychelles from?
