I'd been keeping an eye on local charity shops and ebay, but nothing jumped out, so then I thought I'd take a look at Depop - an app for buying and selling, that loads of bloggers have been chatting about lately (it's basically a hipster ebay). Aaaand, I found one!

| Cape - Dorothy Perkins (from Depop) Dress - H&M Shoes - ASOS |
This cape was originally from Dorothy Perkins, had only been worn once, and was on sale for the super bargainous price of £20 (down from an original price of £69!). I LOVE IT.
It's got a super cosy fleecy hood, has big pockets, and is just so warm and nice to wear. I was a bit nervous that I'd look like I was wearing a tent and it would drown me, but buttoned-up or opened, it sits really nicely.
It's surprisingly tricky to get used to wearing a cape when you haven't had one before (or maybe I'm just a bit rubbish!), but you get used to no sleeves, and it is basically like wearing a massive, socially-acceptable blanket, which is one of the best fashion decisions I have ever made.
That is a glorious cape! I have one but it's not as cape-y - no hood for one thing. Thanks for the Depop rec.
ReplyDeleteBahaha, I agree about the sleeves - it is a little strange to start with! I had a navy cape a couple of years ago and it made me feel like a little elf! This one looks really stylish on you Juliet :) xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely Cape! I really love the scarf in your hair, it's a look that I have never managed to master. Could you do a tutorial on how you put that look together? I really love your blog and look forward to your new inspiring postings!
