I went out for brunch last Sunday (in typical white girl fashion), and in my mind, brunch and oversized sweaters go hand in mimosa-toasting hand. So I put on a sweater and some jeans. Nothing out of the ordinary. I didn’t feel like washing my hair so I added a hat. Perfectly acceptable. I went back and forth on shoes before settling on these black flats just because they seemed like the easiest option. Finally, when it came time to put on outerwear, I decided to go just a little outside the box since the rest of the outfit was nothing special. Plus I hardly ever wear my cape!

I had no hang ups about my ensemble until my brunch mates pointed something out. I WAS DRESSED LIKE FREAKING SHERLOCK HOLMES. Really, Sarah? A tweed cap and a cape? What were you thinking? (They didn’t actually say that. They just laughed at me.) Despite the fact that I’m dressed like a detective, I’m unable to solve the mystery of why I’m dressed like a detective. From now on, coffee before dressing. Oy.

But wait. Here’s proof I can style this hat and cape in non-Sherlock ways. It’s the Real Life Remix…

  1. I think you should start a “dress as a literary character” brunch dress code. Maybe next week you should go dressed as Lady MacBeth. Could be fun!
