Generally, I like every outfit I wear. Otherwise why would I wear it, right? But there are some I like more than others, and some I even love. This was a love outfit. It had the perfect mix of some of my favorite styles. A little edgy (the leather skirt), a little preppy (the gingham shirt), some color, some neutrals, fun accessories, and it was comfy to boot.

I wore this last Monday, and Monday may just be the perfect day for a love outfit. Yes, I just used “love” and “Monday” in the same sentence. Crazier things have happened. So what you are going to wear to make this Monday lovely?

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…
