This year capes are more popular than ever! Capes have been around forever though so I was sure I could find one at the thrift store! And I did! I got this vintage knit one at Goodwill several months ago. I just love the color!
When I think about capes like this one I almost always see them with a plaid skirt and knee socks. I'm sure you've seen this look. Whereas it is super cute I just wanted to do something different. With the bright color trend going on right now I decided to pair the cape with this bright orange pencil skirt. So this is my 2011 take on the cape trend. What do you think?

I like the way you made this outfit with the cape, it looks really nice. The colors go well together.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I like your modern take on the cape...its so neat how things come back around in fashion. All the more reason to go thrifting! ;)

Lindsey I am SO jealous that you found a cape at the thrift store! I have been looking. And you found a beautiful one, at that! I love the color and the button details. I really like how you put it together so it doesn't look sloppy. You are fantastic!
