cap-a-pie \kap-uh-PEE\ adverb
Meaning: from head to foot


He was every inch the cowboy - or so he thought - dressed cap-a-pie in all the gear, which he'd bought from the local store. As he headed over to his horse, though, the truth became clear. Even the horse could tell that this was not a man meant for the saddle, as it whinnied around the corral, looking for a way out of this awkward situation: she didn't want to have to buck him.
Who he was trying to prove himself to was quite clear. A young brunette stood beneath the veranda awning, protected from the bright morning sun. He was careful not to look in her direction, but he knew she was watching.
