Photo by Nelson
Time to bring out the vintage black/white herringbone cape with rhinestone buttons, black velvet collar and red satin lining and top it off with a vintage black velvet beret to greet the freezing cold day. These items, along with the vintage black long fabric gloves were ‘finds’ at estate sales over the years. The Style Crone finished off the outfit with gifted tall black heeled boots. Capes are great for covering any number of layers during the bitter cold weather and have the additional ability to make dramatic sweeping entrances. And since the definition of caper is ‘to skip or dance about in a lively or playful way,’ that’s exactly how I feel with Nelson ‘The Resilient’ back behind the camera lens.
I love that your cape is lined in red. No matter how vintage it is, the pop of red makes it
current. Thanks for yesterday’s blog and your referrals to the elder blog and advanced
style. I enjoyed them very much, especially the article about SC.
You look so stylish and warm! Today….I am actually desiring a stylish way to stay warm! It doesn’t happen often here so i am not prepared.
Your boots are fabulous!
So glad that Nelson “the Resilient” is feeling better! Must be all that healthy lifestyle and the beautiful scenery that’s perking him up!
Love from England,
Rose
You are amazing – I don’t think I’ve seen any outfits repeated since I discovered
this fantastic blog!
this cape is such a statement and I’m glad Nelson is up to taking your lovely photo.
What a beautiful way to stay warm!
Love your outfits and hats. I have a cochlear implant and aid both ears, difficult for hats! what do you suggest?
