Can you beleive it’s already December?! I don’t know how time has completely flown by, but it’s now officially the holiday season and I couldn’t be more excited. To be honest, I’m usually not super enthusiastic about the holidays, but this year I’m embracing the season a little bit more than usual. Who knows, I might even put my mini Christmas tree up this year and listen to some Christmas music to officially kick the month off!  Now that it’s actually winter, I’ve been embracing everything cozy in my closet – from oversized sweaters, to giant scarves and one of my favorite accessories – capes. I impulsively bought this cape last fall while on a trip to Portugal with my parents, and it’s been one of my favorite pieces of outerwear during the not-so-freezing fall and winter days. I used to think that capes were just for hippie old ladies {don’t judge, lots of ladies in my neighborhood where I grew up in Madison rocked brightly colored capes like nobody’s business}, so I wasn’t quite sure if it was a look I could actually pull off. Lucky for me, it’s become one of my favorite, classic pieces that I wear again and again – and it’s perfect paired with a chunky sweater or a long sleeve shirt. And I might feel a little bit like a superhero in it, but that’s actually pretty okay by me. Sometimes we all need a little superhero boost, especially during the holiday season!  Have any surprise pieces in your closet that you’ve found yourself wearing on repeat this season? This cape is definitely an unexpected favorite {and a total steal at Zara too!}. xx
