Steal Song Yi's Style From 'My Love From Another Star' With These 6 Key Pieces
I think we can all agree on the fact that Cheon Song Yi is one of the most well-dressed TV characters in the history of ever. Throughout the course of the 21-episode run of the ultra-popular My Love From Another Star, she wore a whole parade of heart-wrenchingly fabulous outfits, each more high-fashion than the last. Now, we may not all be international super stars like Song Yi, but that doesn't mean we can't take inspiration from her considerable style know-how — so, for all of you fashionistas out there, here are a few Song Yi-approved essentials to kickstart your new My Love From Another Star-inspired wardrobe!

A Cooler-Than-Cool Cape
OK, first things first, you’ll be needing a cape (or several thousand capes, rather). Out of all her style mainstays, it would seem capes are among Song Yi’s favorites — she sports dozens over the course of the series, in pretty much every color, print, texture and silhouette imaginable.
