12 Dec Thrifty Threads – Superwoman Cape
Capes are pretty trendy. But capes can also be pretty tricky to wear. Depending on the shape and length, it can swallow up your figure and be anything but flattering. But when I was invited to the Loehmann’s fall preview a few months ago, one of the items I found was an awesome Ellen Tracy cape. I wasn’t sure what I’d wear it with but I was willing to try the trend. And I’m so glad I did.
The camel color compliments everything in my wardrobe and the belted waist keeps from making my frame look shapeless.
The coat’s neutral so I wanted to add some pops of color with my trusty purple jeans {which only cost 83 cents} from the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale, plaid pumps from the Salvation Army and a bag from DSW. The bag has such a luxe feel and I’ve had it for at least three years. The best $45 I’ve spent!
This cape will clearly be my go-to outerwear for the winter months.
Breakdown:
Coat: c/o Loehmann’s // Jeans and shoes: thrifted // Purse: DSW
Week 11 of my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {a full year where I only buy second-hand clothing} is down. Only 41 more weeks to go!

Posted at 17:38h, 12 DecemberI really enjoy your site. I love this look. The cape is fabulous! This is the first one I have seen that has a belt with it. That is awesome because it creates a shape rather than just drape like all the ones I have tried on. Love it!

Posted at 20:43h, 13 DecemberYou look so fab. I love the hair and the color contrasting of the cape too. I just bought a tweed cape from Nordstrom and now I think I need to find some red pants to go with it. Because you’ve inspired me with your purple.

Posted at 04:35h, 14 DecemberI have a cropped cape in the same color. Too cropped to wear for the winter and we never seemed to have had an official fall (it went from warm to freezing!) so sadly its still in my closet (another thrift find thats still hanging!) Love the colored skinny jeans I need a pair in every bright color!
