Mod/Day 20
Yesterday, when I was at the gym exercising while reading a magazine — an indicator as to how strenuously I was exercising. I might as well say, while I was at the gym exercising while taking a quick nap… I came across an article in Lucky Magazine, called “Get the layered Look!”
Here are the steps they recommend –
Start with a shirt and a pair of flowered pants with a concentration of dark, red flowers at the crotch so you can look like you’re having a period mishap all day…
Then add a bejeweled V sweater that points down towards the dark, port wine period splotches…
Then add a child’s blazer…
And finally a CAPE!
Step Four is my cape! In a magazine! I couldn’t believe it. I felt vindicated. I felt proud. I felt for one small moment that I had an eye for fashion. No matter that the rest of the outfit is completely insane. No matter that the poor woman wearing this outfit is going to have a heat stroke with four layers of clothing on her torso while her bare, naked ankles will undoubtedly get frost bite. Where does one wear an outfit like this? The top half of your body is thinking Siberia while the bottom half would love a nice, tiki bar on a beach with a large box of maxi pads.
I would go so far as to say the cape pulls the whole outfit together. The cape makes the layered outfit chic. I sent my cape to a new blog friend in Canada, but I hope she is up there right now rocking her awesome, “as seen in a magazine” trendy fashion find…
