So how am I celebrating a month of food and love? I’m wearing this cape. This cape is as Valentine’s Day as I get and honestly I’m okay with it. I miss sugar but you know, I’m okay and I know that this is really good for my body (read more on that here), I just miss a few things but I’m trying to distract myself by dressing brightly and warmly this month.
One of my favorite things about this month is that all of my friends are pretty obsessed with Galentine’s Day and we all love getting together for brunch, movies, sending each other gifts and celebrating our mutual love of Leslie Knope and strong female role models and celebrating ovaries before broveries. This weekend I get to get together, while totally wearing this cape to be festive, with my best friends in Wichita and celebrate with brunch and movies!
Okay, I have to confess: yes, I smelled those scented cards that were like a mix of a paper factory and artificial chocolate scent maybe one or two times more than I should have.

I always love reading your blog because I am always cracking up!! I hope you are surviving no sugar. I just can't do it. I love those boots for real though. And I need to know what camera/lens you use!

GALANTINE'S DAY?! HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THAT? Oh okay, I see what I have to do now. Be a Galentine. I need to do it. SEND OUT ALL THE LOVE!! I love that plaid coat thing. I'm calling it a coat thing because it's kind of cape-like too. Cape coat.
Krisztina Williams
I love the idea of Galentine's Day. I think Valentine's Day can be celebrated with anyone we love – friends, kids, whoever. Doesn't have to be a bad day if we're not with a guy. Love your outfit! Totally love those boots!

Scented cards!? I used to love those scented markers in elementary school. I'm intrigued. I think a Target trip is in my future 🙂

What an awesome plaid cape! I am such a sucker for anything plaid. My parents really liked the south beach diet when hey did it. I used to try to give up sweets for Lent but my birthday is during the season, so that never worked. Ha!

Too cute girl! I have a MAJOR sweet tooth. I didn't know they made cards that smelled… what?!

Mad for plaid always and forever – loving this whole look! The cape is majorly cute. Also, I'd love to hear more about your diet! I always like to hear what people do and do not like about certain diets, share their favorite recipes, etc. It helps give me ideas for what to incorporate into my lifestyle!

What a gorgeous plaid cape! Styled perfectly!

It isn't till you cut sugar and gluten out of your diet that you realize that everything.has.sugar.and.gluten. Literally. I feel you, girl.

I did South Beach diet before so I know how you feel. Right now I'm doing the 21 day fix so no sugar for me either!! Loving this cape on you!

So they not only have cards FROM the dog, but also FOR the dog? Interesting. Some people are very lonely, you know.
Good luck with your diet, I hope it goes well! The less you have sweets, the less you crave them, so it should only get easier.

They make a card for dogs?!? That's awful LOL!! Amusing post Alissa and lovely outfit!

The dog-card concept made me laugh–are they cards with actual words or just card-shaped dog treats? I know which my dog would prefer… I love the plaid cape and I think it's perfect for Valentine's day, and even better that it's perfect for any other day too! 🙂
Good luck with your healthy eating and giving up sugar!

I'm doing Galentine's with my friends. That cape is so fun. Avoiding sugar is really hard this time of year. I hope you have good luck with your diet.
Karly @ Miss in the Midwest
You look amazing in this cape! I would love some info/updates on your diet, and there are cards for your dog?! Guess my little man is going to have to get one now. 🙂

Girl, you have way more willpower than I ever will! That's awesome that you're staying strong and sticking to your plan, as tempting as it might be to cave for Valentine's Day goodies. You are rocking this cape, and I now want to add more plaid to my closet. Also, I've always wanted to do Galentine's Day stuff since my boyfriend lives in another city, but don't have anyone to do them with! I'll live vicariously through you in the meantime 🙂

What will card companies think of next?! Good for you for trying to eat healthier. While I eat healthy enough, it's so hard to control the amount…so typically I just don't! 😉 That cape is so perfect for V-day. I love seeing you in it again!

what a hip rad coat!

So true regarding Insta props! I often wonder if those sweet treats actually get eaten or just thrown out in the garbage! I kind of detest "props" unless I really believe that they are being used after the photo is snapped!
I think you look great in plaid, and I love that it's more unique than your typical red and pink (which I'm totally guilty of wearing. I can't help myself).
Lisa Morice
What a great cape. It looks so warm and comfy. I'm about to begin my third round (in 18 months) of the I Quit Sugar 8 Week Program. So no sugar for me on Valentines Day either, but that's a good thing. I'll be enjoying delicious, healthy meals and enjoying freedom from the temptation of way too much sugar.
Jackie
MY question about the Insta props is whether or not they get eaten? I mean, mine always do…but is that the norm?
Loving that cape! It's way more Valentine's than I like to get!

haha I don't think we have the scented cards here yet…although we do have the cards for dogs! They're edible, our local store sells them and I've been tempted to get one or two for our pup a few times! Haven't yet, but never say never, hehe! 🙂
Your red cape is lovely and a nice way to participate in the Valentine's day red theme! 🙂

Great job on cutting out sugar & all that junk for a month. I just finished Whole30 which is a little more restrictive and I survived. If I can do it, you can too!! Sounds like a fun weekend planned for Galentines and love your plaid cape!

As far as I am concerned Plaid is perfect year around and red plaid is so festive for all the holidays. With that said that plaid cape coat is gorgeous and I want it badlyyy. The boots, tote and beanie are super cute too. You look fantastic Alissa. Hope you had a great, lavish 25th Birthday Celebration!
Happy Monday! Ada. =)
