That Time I Wore A Cape.

In an attempt to be socially relevant, I've decided to incorporate, not only fashion, but film into this post.

Because if we can't dress like comic book superheroes on the reg, it's like,

why are we living?

So, in light of the recent Superman movie, the shirt-tied-around-waist trend, and the plaid phenomenon, I thought - 

let's nail all three in one blog post!

Hence my plaid, tied around the neck cape. 

It's like prepster meets hipster meets

that guy. 

In fact, I'm quite certain that somewhere deep inside except not deep at all and right on the surface I secretly but very openly want to be a superhero. 

Sometimes I used to pretend little hairs were coming out of my fingers and that if I needed to, I could scale walls. 

Also, I'm like, really good at the Spidey web-out-of-wrist shoot. 

Please feel free to never repeat that to anyone.

So the next time you're in a style-inspiration rut, try imitating something really stupid, and pretending like it's super cool. 

I promise you'll never make friends.
