In case you haven't noticed, it is currently Summer here in San Francisco. More Summer than it is in the Summertime. And although this beautiful weather is a salient reminder that we are in the middle of a very real drought and probably steadily on our way to some sort of apocalypse (whichever one suits you), we should throw our heads back and laugh a laugh of not caring about things that are too scary and important to think about and take a 50 minute shower because we can rely on the life sustaining powers of our abundance of plaid.
And so maybe it's just for funsies that I'm wearing this plaid cape, but maybe it's also to remind me that even though plaid as a sartorial staple of the colder weather months is a tenant that has been around since Jamie from Outlander times, it is an ever-repleneshing resource that, at the hands of very adept designers, presents itself anew season after season, and we never seem to tire of it. Plaid will be around when there's nothing left but the cockroaches, so eat up.
The sweater is not a real sweater like people in New York would wear because it's completely permeable and basically see-through. The trousers bring a nice monochrome mleh-mleh to the outfit while still reminding you that I'm a BOSS (jk I'm not a boss of anything other than the jar of peanut butter in my pantry). And the shoes are presenting themselves to you in that distinct gunmetal grey probably thanks to somebody who's named Alexander Wang and his Fall/Winter 2013 collection last year. Trickle Down Dance, guys! I'm telling you.
Also, when was the last time you wore an actual cape(coat)?
