What I Wore: Caped Crusader

Remember when Regan blogged about a $50 Nordstrom gift card she had? Well, I had one too. And her post gave me a major hankering for the Topshop cape...so I did what any right-minded shopper would do, I ordered it! It was unavailable, and then they got more instock! It just arrived last week and was the perfect thing to wear for our flight to Sun Valley.

I'm cape obsessed this season. I can't get enough of long, well-draped coats, capes, and sweaters. Done right, they can be so sophisticated...and warm...and comfortable. Who knew those three things could go together. Since this is currently out of stock, here are a few similar options.

What Would You Do

I have a $50 gift card from Nordstrom that I received for Christmas. Who doesn't like $50 at a store like Nordstrom? My problem is that whenever I receive gift cards, I always end up spending more money.

So, I thought for today's post I would find a list of items all under $50 that I could use my gift card to purchase.

If I'm being practical, I should ditch some very old underwear and get these. If you've never tried Hanky Panky underwear, the low rise thongs are the only thing I wear. There is a high likelihood this purchase will happen. P.S. How can so little fabric be SO expensive?

Hanky Panky 3 pack Low-Rise Thong $43.20 (originally $54)

I really like this One-button cardigan. It comes in a number of colors and would be a great everyday staple over my workout clothes, but I probably have 5 things like it in my closet.

One-Button Fleece Wrap Cardigan $39.90 (on sale)

I could also try some of the cosmetic products Katie K. recommend last week....My dark circles could use some serious camouflaging...this might do the trick!
