cape - American Apparel, sweater - Dangerfield, skirt - made by me, everything else vintage/thrifted
I bought this cape quite a number of years ago from American Apparel. It was rather expensive but I justified it because it's wool and a neutral colour and a pan collar and I really, really wanted it. I wore it a handful of times but then my style changed and it was banished to the back of my wardrobe until a summery warm day this year when I realised that capes + pencil skirts = perfect vintage style!!
My hair was a bit of an epic fail turned accidental kind of win, I set my hair but the top layer didn't want to play nice so I had to improvise. Turned out ok in the end!
In love with your cape, it's so darling! The collar and that sweet button are perfect details. Altogether, a very chic look indeed. ♡

Thank you darling :) x
DeleteCute! Capes are the one fashion trend I've never embraced, looks a little too weird on my frame. You rock it!
ReplyDeleteNoo! You would look totally adorable in a cape! They're the best :)
DeleteThere's nothing like a cape! Love 'em. X
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! x
DeleteCapes and coats are items worth spending more on, in my opinion. Although now that I have many coats and 3 capes, I probably can stop. But the capes are going to be a staple of my winter maternity wardrobe, just sailing over the expanding frame :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great outfit and suits you really well. I think capes, being so voluminous, do need a narrow bottom half, so pencil skirts are perfect. I mostly wear them with jeans.
I think I'm starting to believe that! Nothing like a good quality coat to last a few winters.
DeleteThank you! Skinny jeans would probably work too.
You are perfection
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! xx
DeleteThe cape looks great with this outfit!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteDefinitely vintage perfection! love the cape and I am glad that you began to love it again too! Your hair is lovely too, it turned out wonderful!
