i never play without my cape

Cape (worn previously like this and this), Necklace & Bracelet- Thrifted; Pants- Old Navy; Boots- Aldo; Ring-Gifted; Nail Polish-Chestnut by Sally Hansen
I never thought I was a cape woman until I found this green beauty at a charity shop in the UK a couple of years ago.  I love how you a cape is something you can just throw on yet it heightens the look of an outfit, especially when it's a bright colour or fun pattern.  Today I'm linking up to Silverstyle's Trending Through the Decades- Capes Edition & Spunky Chateau's Thursdays are for Thrifters!

{Sorry these photos are lack lustre- the days are getting shorter so by the time my man and I get coordinated the sun has gone to sleep so my white wall, doorknobs and mirror decor will have to do for now.  Outdoor photos of me wearing this cape (with bright red hair) can be found here.}

  9. That's a beautiful cape! I also thrifted one recently. Though mine is a thicker knit of a wool blend, so it'll be some time before it gets pulled out for wear.

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
