OOTD: Cape Plaid

The to look for: Style house hold is super busy this weekend.  We're hosting a "Friendsgiving" this Saturday for all the folks that are traveling home for the real holiday that want another excuse to get a food coma with friends this week.  It's going to be a party of 9-10, so we're pretty excited.  I have claimed the turkey (eek!) and pecan pie.  I feel like hibernating just thinking about it.

Today you get a picture of a coat!  I used to think that capes were super cute, but not functional to the point of hilarity.  I mean, exposed arms in the dead of winter?  Hah! You'd get to wear it between the temperatures of 33-40 degrees and then move on to a "real" coat.   Then I moved to the Bay Area.  Well, what do you know?  That range IS what winter tends to stay in.  So I said -- Bring on the capes!  And I did.  In yellow/gray plaid no less.  Well, if you can't join a trend, guess you'll just have to move to a place where you can.  

Any impractical trends that you're dying to try, but can't?  Tell me about it!  

Thanks for stopping by!
