Last two capes: my own.
Black velvet: Shareen Vintage. Purple suede: From the road trip to New Orleans
Black velvet: Shareen Vintage. Purple suede: From the road trip to New Orleans
These pictures remind me why capes are so badass.
The last two are my own. The black velvet with embellished shoulders was a find from Shareen Vintage about three years ago. I saw the Stella McCartney version (pic #5) released this year with the floral embroidered shoulders and it really reminds me of it. I practically levitated off the ground when I tried it on. Ironic being a cape. Pics of me in it are here. The purple suede one was a find during the New Orleans road trip.
Capes are wide so I wear them with skinnies or slim-ish harem bottoms. For non-vintage I think Felt or Mango’s military version are good. Then you can move up to something longer.
For me, capes are a change from leather jackets and wool coats. Note: they make for dramatic exits and entrances everywhere. I love that.
ps. Today’s the last day to get 25% off everything on NastyGal. Good chance to try a cape like this or this one. Code: Nastygalsdoitbetter
