Velvet Statement

Dress - Dynamite

Cape - Splurge Boutique (shop here)

Boots - Guess

Every girl should have a couple of items in her wardrobe that make a statement. Yes, basic pieces are an essential part of a wardrobe but let's face it, who actually wants to be basic? How many holiday parties have you gone to to find all the ladies wearing black dresses. Don't be a bore! Throw on a jewel tone cape over that LBD of yours! Or wear it to the office like I did over a tweed turtleneck dress.
