OPERATION: PLAID CAPE

cape 850

Shhh.  In the words of Elmer Fudd, “Be vewry, vewry quiet.  I’m hunting wabbits.”

Nah, guys.

I’m Goodwill hunting!

Last month I came at you with all “Find Your Floral, sisters.  It was sweet and fragrant with super deals on this brilliantly trending print.

This month I’m here to spend some quality time bringing a BIG OLE GLOWY SPOTLIGHT on an accessory highly underrated.  This article of clothing is flowing with spectacular notions of dramatic appeal.  It’s roomy. Leaving space to relax and find comfort while being so.darn.cute.

And it’s simply underestimated.  Why I ask you?  Well, most likely because it sometimes looks like your wearing your bed sheet.

Relax.  Meg’s here.  I have plans to dispel those outdated “Mamaws-sitting-in-rockers with their dentures beside them floating in a cup” mindsets about the cape.  Yeah, I said cape.  Super Moms of the world, let’s “wrap”.

I was gifted this plaid cape from my sweet mother-in-law who hadn’t worn it in ages and just wanted rid of it.  One glance at the Burberry print, and she.was.mine.

I’ve decided to give you further proof in this undercover OPERATION: PLAID CAPE.  It is my hope that this hard evidence will have you climbing into your Granny’s attic to find you one of your very own or perhaps dive digging and rack shuffling in my good ole G-dub.

Because let’s be honest, we all could use a little happy.  Some comfy room.  Some so.darn.cute. And a place where drama is kindly found & welcomed in your clothing NOT your life.  Can I get an AMEN? Like I said earlier, “Supermoms of the world let’s “wrap”:

    I love these kinds of posts! And I love getting great deals at Goodwill! I also love your witty writing style. I loved the floral post, too, although I only just read it. I just started following The Busy Mom blog a week or two ago.

      Megan!

      I’m so glad you’re following TBM now. Heidi is truly a wonderful vibrant spirit. It’s such a treat to be a part of TBM writing team. Sister, 90% of my family is outfitted by Goodwill. Shopping the look for less takes time and trial, but it’s worth the dollars saved for more important things. Thanks for your comment!

    Oh my gosh! I LOVE goodwill hunting! That is literally the only place I go for almost all of my clothes-I like long skirts and dresses and they just don’t sell good quality stiff at prices I can afford. At the goodwill, I can get great quality at great prices. I found a reversable fleece cape there that I love! Thanks for sharing…Dena

    Dena,

    We’re GW TWINSIES! Oh, the hunt is THE BEST, wouldn’t you agree? There are so many misconceptions when it comes to buying 2nd hand clothes. I must say there is a fine strategy to seeking out quality, but it is so there if you’ll look. Thanks so much for your comment!

    Meghan 🙂
