I even had a set of Supergirl pajamas that came with a detachable velcro cape.

As I got older, my goals became less lofty and more practical. ย And while I pride myself on being a “responsible grown-up”, sometimes I miss the good old days.

    Lovely! Those boots are gorgeous.

  • Elisabeth Carr November 17, 2010 at 2:09 am

    i LOVE your cape. I have one my mom made me a couple of years ago and I can’t wait until it gets cold enough in San Francisco to wear it. is this one of your remix items or did you consider this more of a coat? i might just have to call mine a coat so I can remix it ๐Ÿ™‚

    • ClosetConfections November 17, 2010 at 10:51 am

      Yeah, I considered this outerwear and not part of the actual outfit.
