Capes and Things

Now that the temperature has changed where I live, I can finally begin to wear some of my warm Autumn clothes instead of tank tops and flip flops going into November. Here is a quick rundown of one of the looks I wore when a medical school admissions counselor came and spoke at my university.

The base piece for this look was my green plaid pants that were a find on Oldnavy's sale rack for $1.99. (You ever want to know how to bargain shop, come shop with me.) The pants feature an array of colors including yellow, green, white, navy blue and black. To add color to the look, I paired the pants with a navy blue button down shirt I found at Forever 21 for $3.99. On this particular day it was cooler than usual, so I added a black "fur-like" cape over the outfit for warmth. This cape was a find at Forever 21 last winter for about $10.00.

If you've been doing the math the cost of this entire look was only $16.00. If you include the shoes I am wearing, the cost of the look goes up to about $21.00.

A few of my friends have taken advantage of my style services over the past few months, and I would like to remind readers that I do offer styling services for your event, photoshoot, etc, known as Styled by Mod. Until the end of the year (December 31) I will be offering this service for free to continue to build my portfolio to offer this service on a higher level at some point. To take advantage of this opportunity, please send an email to themodlittlemelanin@yahoo.com, including your name, contact information, the date of your event, any ideas you have for your "look" and any additional information I may need to know. Please keep in mind that I am a graduate student, and finals are rapidly approaching. With that being said, please inform me at least three weeks before your event if you would like to be Styled by Mod.

Thanks!
