It’s unseasonably warm and I don’t particularly mind. It’s giving me a chance to play with lighter fall layers. A couple of years ago, I was super into capes… or I guess ponchos, ruanas? I’m not sure what makes them different. But when my mom caught me looking at one at Scout & Molly’s, she reminded me that I have a bunch that I haven’t been wearing. (I actually have two in almost an identical plaid!) I decided to pull ’em out and show them some love.
I think the reason I wasn’t wearing them is that they’re a little awkward to wear with a purse unless it’s a smaller cross-body or a clutch. However, the plus side is that they’re super cozy and basically a socially acceptable way to stay snuggled up in a blanket. I found out this fall that they’re also a secret weapon when trying to rock a statement sleeve (like the puffs on this dress) if it’s chilly enough to need a jacket.
While the particular style I was wearing on Saturday was actually a find from a now-closed AC Moore (who would have thought, right?), I rounded up a bunch below.
