Fashion A to Z: C is for Cape

So, I think I'm totally going to take the dive and get a cape. This is something that I've been on the fence about, for probably year. I've been seeing them everywhere for the past few months, and after going on Pinterest and seeing how adorable they look, that was the shove I needed. Capes are perfect to wear during fall and during the cooler months of spring. You might even be able to get away with it during winter, depending on how thick it is, and how warm the weather would be that day. I feel like capes are just the perfect thing to wear. I'm not even sure why, but they just seem right. And totally like the the perfect chic alternative to a jacket.

I love the combination of the cape and floppy hat. It just makes the girl look so mysterious. I'm also in love with her rolled leather pants.

This outfit is just darling. I love the camel color of the cape, because you can easily wear it with any outfit and you can wear it any season. I love the black, navy, and orange combo in the print of the dress.

I love love love that this is tweed and double breasted. This makes the cape look even more interesting and reminds me of a blazer I had in high school. This would be totally perfect to wear during fall.

Winter Coats Under $75

So,winter is still raging on. When is it going to end? I just wish that I would have chosen to go to a school in Florida or California, so I would have to deal with this. I have definitely been getting so much use out of all of my winter jackets. I usually just wear my white puffy North Face, but it just doesn't make me feel very fashionable wearing it. Luckily, this season has seemed to bring so many different cute winter coats, that I barely even use that North Face anymore, unless it's super cold (which has happened more than I would like). I love that now there are coats available that I don't feel bad wearing and having to cover up my really cute outfit underneath. This actually makes me not mind the cold as much as I used to, but I still do get very annoyed with it. Now fashionistas everywhere don't have to dread the cold as much, since outerwear for the winter has definitely stepped up it's game.

I love that this is shift coat, it's such a flattering shape on many different figures. I'm also in love with the color of the jacket. It can easily carry you into the spring season, since the color is pretty spot on.

This coat is complete perfection. I love the fact that it's quilted. It totally adds an unexpected fun texture to update an otherwise plain black coat.

I know that I said that the last jacket was fun, but this jacket is just so much fun. What girl doesn't love to add a little sparkle to her outfit? The jewels aren't overdone, but it's definitely the perfect touch to take this coat to a whole different level.
