Hello, lovelies!

I’ve loved capes from afar for the last 3 winters, but I couldn’t find the balls to buy one. Last year, I decided that I would bite the bullet this winter. After a lot of searching, I finally decided on one. I received a Modcloth gift card for Christmas, and the cape went on sale. It was fate.
The Cape
I saw this cape for the first time a couple years ago. (FYI it’s still half off!) It ended up spending a lot of time being added to and removed from my shopping cart. It’s made by Steve Madden, who also made my favorite coat, so I don’t know why I was so nervous about buying it. They were out of my size, so I took a chance and sized down. It ended up fitting perfectly! I want it in every color.
The Outfit
Styling a cape can be tricky. I wasn’t sure what I would wear it with, but I knew I had to have it. Inspiration struck while I was binge-watching American Horror Story: Coven. I squeezed myself into a pair of black skinny jeans and pulled on my favorite R2 footwear boots. I found them on crazy sale at Macy’s for like $20. They’re surprisingly comfortable. Seriously, I walked around San Francisco in them on my 24th birthday. I only fell once, and that was because I had too many cosmos. I didn’t want to deal with makeup, so I threw on a pair of sunglasses. The pockets on the cape are so ridiculously amazing that I didn’t need a purse!
The Face
I was feeling super lazy, so ColourPop’s Ultra Matte Lip in Friday was literally the only makeup on my face.
The Look
Here’s the final look! I think I’ll wear it with my black pencil skirt next time. And maybe a birdcage veil and fascinator. Then I can feel like a Chanel at Chanel #2’s funeral. (I recently binge-watched Scream Queens, too.)
How do you feel about capes? What’s your favorite thing to wear in the winter? Let me know in the comments! xo
I’ve never worn a cape, but you make me want to try one out! Loving the look!
Aww thanks! You could definitely pull one off!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone I know wearing one!
They’re definitely not super mainstream, but after wearing one, I have no idea why!
Both cape and boots look amazing *u*
Thank you, dear!
