Falling For Capes

Just a few more degrees down the thermometer and it will be time for a little coat, and I think this fall it is going to be cute capes and long gloves every day.  I can’t wait!  That Kate Spade plaid cape is absolute preppy perfection, I definitely wouldn’t mind wearing it during the four hours it will take me to pick out the perfect pumpkin (it seems to take  longer every year, pick one up set it down, pick one up set it down, ad nauseum)!

    I was trying to resist the need for a cape and then you post these beauties and remind me….

    I’m in love with capes. I have one and desperately want a second. And the long gloves with it? DEFINITELY need a pair of those. There’s something so fantastically Audrey Hepburn about the whole look, don’t you think?

    I love capes but I think of them as one of those things that is hard to pull off. Like a poncho.
