Vintage poncho and shorts. Giuseppe Zanotti wedges.

Wearing my new favorite blankety, almost-overly saccharine cape for a nippy San Francisco day. I normally don't buy anything especially cutesy, but the perfect arm-hole placement, intricately crocheted texture, and muddy colors convinced me otherwise. I’ve never understood the cape propaganda when they seemingly make your arms immobile, but I guess I haven’t found the most ideal way to wear it. Next time it goes unbuttoned.

    I'm very much into Cape's and this one is quite fabulous if I do say so myself! Once you get used to the arm restriction you end up looking pretty fab!

    You're really pretty and you pull off the center part, but I think you look LOADS better with a side part.

    You have no idea how much weather envy I have right now. Toronto jumps from freezing cold winter to humid over-heated summer. We never get in-betweeny seasons for cute capes and 3/4 sleeve spring coats. *cries in corner*
