a cape with a dash of animal print

on a recent trip to the attic, i found this cape that used to belong to my grandma.  i have a few of her other pieces that i cherish, including a beaded sweater i wear to death.  this had been in a bag though, so when i looked inside i just assumed it would be one of my old coats from when i was young.  i was so excited when i realized it was a cape with animal print, both of which are huge this season.  i was even more excited (shamefully) when i looked at the tag and saw that it was from Saks Fifth Avenue and still in perfect condition.  its safe to say my grandma had excellent taste!  its worn with a gap boyfriend sweater from last year and dark wash "jeggings" from american eagle.  i love dark wash jeans; they go with everything and make shirts and sweaters pop.  on a sadder note, my dog sammie, whos in a couple of these pictures, had to be put down today.  his cancer had spread to his lungs, among other areas, and he had extreme difficulty moving and eating.  as a kind of tribute, he'll be in my next couple of posts.
