Shades of Grey

Cape c/o Karen Kane, Dress Random Boutique, Tights Target, Boots Steve Madden (old, but similar style here), Earrings c/o JewelMint, Glasses Ray Ban, Purse Chanel

I was so excited when I received this Karen Kane ombre cape in the mail. It adds a bit of coziness while still looking chic (it's also super warm and comfy). Even though most people would think of it as more of a lounging item or for the weekends, I decided to paired it with a basic long-sleeved dress, tights, and boots to dress it up for work. 
P.S. My hair is in a sloppy bun with the ends wrapped around the hair tie. (in case any of you were wondering :) )
