in a heartbeat if it actually was going to get cold any time soon! This would be more Christmastime wear for me. Stupid Gulf Coast.
ReplyDeleteps. isn't that girl in the bottom picture someone famous?
ReplyDeleteyes! I have a vintage plaid wool cape that I simply *can't wait* to wear. I adore this trend :)
ReplyDeletexx fallon
Yes I would! But maybe a black or red one? OR hmmm a dark yellow? Not sure but I need color! Lol
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great day!
I love capes!! I'll be wearing one this winter, I just have to find the perfect one.
ReplyDeleteI just bought myself a black cape with a hood. It's awesome but quite hard to pull off. Skinny black jeans and heels is the easiest way I think. Definitely don't want to stray into Batman territory.
ReplyDeletelovely being, so fun!!
ReplyDeletemy mother's boyfriend has one, I think they are cute ^^ I want one :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I would wear one. The girl looks like she could be Sarah Jessica Parker's daughter! (If she had a daughter that age). :)
ReplyDeleteCapes are so, so amazing. I got one at the end of last season and barely had time to wear it. I will be pulling it out at the first sign of a cold-spell! Love the first photo, by the way :)

I just thrifted a gorgeous dark grey cape that I'll be wearing all winter! It was a steal at $20, a good option if you don't want to drop too much dough on something "trendy"!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Where did you find the second photo on The Sartorialist? I've looked at his site for years and have never seen that one, that I remember at least. Can you post the link?
ReplyDeleteI totally would! I love the look of it! And I think it makes your outfit just be 10x as amazing!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I love capes ^_^ Maybe I'll finally make one this year :D
ReplyDeletelove it! oh so adorable
ReplyDeleteCapes can be very cool, and ponchos too. Personally, I'd rather wrap myself up in a serape blanket. But, a hood and button could make it better.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I totally love the first one...The buttons are so cool:)..I have a chocolate brown one that I got from my friend as a gift years ago and back then they were not in fashion ( but I wore it anyway...hahah)...I am so going to wear it this season too...
ReplyDeleteKisses,Joanna
Ps: How about you, would you wear a cape?
Love this look! Particularly in tartan plaids. I agree - that girl looks famous. Almost like a cleaned up Fiona Apple?
ReplyDeleteBecca
Absolutely! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI have a lovely old cape in a grey wool that I love and try to wear as much as possible, despite the fact that it is the most impractical thing I own! I need my hands! I tried to drive in it once – a complete disaster...
ReplyDeleteYES! I would definitely wear one! They're so stylish! But only when fall would come with the sunshine as on the pictures ;)
ReplyDeleteyes, ponchos! my friend Nora used to wear this amazing black poncho, and when i'd call her to ask her what she was up to, she's say, "just poncho-ing." :)
ReplyDeleteyes indeed!
ReplyDeleteMy friend bought a poncho at H&M over the weekend and while we laughed about it, I secretly wished I had snatched one up as well. Love the cape in the second picture!
ReplyDeletei would definitely wear one!
ReplyDeleteLove the first cape!!
ReplyDeleteI want to find a cape so badly, but it needs to be affordable.
ReplyDeleteI would 100% wear one. No doubt. I love it.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely! i have been looking for an affordable camel colored one. or maybe in black.
ReplyDeletehttp://lachapstickfanatique.blogspot.com/
the girl in the last photo does look a bit like Sarah Jessica Parker.
ReplyDeleteI would probably try a cute one out! I'm sure to receive some interesting comments from my guys friends ;) A great look though and perfect for cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteyes and yes! i would totally wear one of these... sign me up!
ReplyDeleteI'm on it ! Putting it on my wish list now.
ReplyDeleteyep! i'd wear one. i had a jcrew poncho in high school and people would make fun of me for it. but i love it!
ReplyDeleteI've been in love with the cape ever since Blair Waldorf wore hers on Gossip Girl, but I haven't gotten up the guts to buy my own yet. Maybe this year...
ReplyDeletei would most def. wear one! but only pre-pregnancy - which will be in december. and since i am afraid a cape is not warm enough for the for the berlin-winter-days, i'll probably skip this trend :-(
ReplyDeletei just bought one last week and now can't wait for the cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely! just bought one.
ReplyDeletethey are fabbbb
This is something I can definitely get on board with =) Adding this to the fall list!
ReplyDeleteblehhh, honestly? i'm totally over capes. i think ponchos scarred me for life. but hey, maybe if i find a really cool one my mind will change =]
ReplyDeleteI would totally wear one! throw it on with a pair of jeans and long sleeve T and you look totally chic with no effort! :)
ReplyDeletelooove!!! going to have go hunt for a cheap one!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying for a cape, but I'm afraid I'll look really conspicuous in one. I also feel conspicuous in sunglasses, so maybe it's just a me thing.
ReplyDeleteI so want one! This reminds me of the 30 Rock episode where Oprah (Pam) says that one of her favorite things is sweater capes. I totally fell in love with them at that moment!
ReplyDeleteOf course. Why stop? I have a few but my favorite is a red one from Italy. (I hate wearing red dresses, but this or other accessories, yes if blue-red.)
ReplyDeleteBought in emergency of cold snap. Totally not designer...I get more "where did you buy thats" for last 16 years.
The weird thing to me? Most women seem disappointed. That it's the equivalent of, I don't know, um...like high street chains in UK. We don't have them in DC now.
I'm sorry this materialism & excessive exuberance about $ has not abated. (Well, in blogland.)
xo
Don't know if I could pull one off but these are super cute!
ReplyDeleteI should be clear--I wasn't criticizing cape wearers or Joanna:)
ReplyDeletehow is it that super tiny models can wear this and look amazing but when i put one on i look like im swimming in fabric? of course...it doesn't stop me! ;)
ReplyDeleteyes, without a doubt... I just inherited a cape my grandmother made and I plan to wear it this fall... it's blue and orange plaid with satin lining so you'll see me coming.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! That first one is gorgeous, I would love to run around in it all through the fall, and perhaps with long gloves even into the winter.
ReplyDeleteYes, they're soooo much fun to wear.
ReplyDeletei don't think it could be possible for those women to BE more chic!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the cape trend this year!!! I need to get my hands on one!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://fashionistanygirl.blogspot.com/
I vote Yay! (for capes this fall and early winter)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love capes...especially that 1st tweed one!!
ReplyDeletei would absolutely wear one! in fact i already own an awesome red one from american apparel. but i LOVE that plaid brown one. goodness gracious.
ReplyDeleteYes love them! I especially like them in solid colors like navy blue or pale pink.
ReplyDeletewww.rachaeldiab.blogspot.com
Yes, now this fall trend I would wear. Very classy!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd absolutely wear one! In fact, I DID wear one in a shoot for my husband this past winter.
ReplyDeleteIt's my mom's and she wouldn't let me steal it from her, because her best friend made it for a college fashion design class! So cool.
Awww, this post reminds me of my dad. Before he died, he always wore a poncho. He had a bright yellow one!
ReplyDeleteohhh yes. definitely a must this season!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. I think they're very chic.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I'm digging this whole East Coast prep thing. Yay for fall.
ReplyDeleteSo funny, I did a preppy-inspired post today too! XOXO Valerie

I can't wait to wear my cape..I bought it 2 years ago and it when it wasn't in style, wore it a few times but am gonna rock it this fall!
ReplyDeletei like!
ReplyDeletewould totally wear one! (if i didn't live in az...)
ReplyDelete;)
I adore these looks and would wear one in a heartbeat! Thanks for this post!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was kind enough to give me a beautiful irish wool plaid cape purchased in Ireland back in the late 60s it's stunning, I have been wearing it for 2 yrs and have never gotten so many compliments on one article of clothing, people legitimately stop me on the street to ask about it. Last year a couple of the original navy buttons started to get loose from years or wear, so I went to MJ Trimming on 6th Ave and got some beautiful gold buttons, I cannot wait for it to get cold enough to wear it again!!
ReplyDeleteahhhh i LOVE the cape!! i would definitely wear one...i'm not sure who the girl is but she looks fab.
ReplyDeleteI have a fantastic green and blue plaid vintage cape that I sadly cannot wear as it is too slim through the shoulders. But I would totally wear it if I could!
ReplyDeleteThe girl in the second photo looks glamourous!
ReplyDeleteliving in italy has given me fashion courage and i would absolutely wear both capes!
ReplyDeleteI have a wool poncho, it's itchy as hell, but I love that thing. If I cut some arm holes in the front can I call it a cape?
ReplyDeleteI have one and wear it all the time. My students always laugh and say I REALLY look like a teacher when I wear it. It's amazing - perfect for season transitions.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great look! I'm luck enough to have inherited 2 from the early 60's made of camel hair. They belonged to my mom, fortunatly she had amazing taste. I also inherited a set of Pringle of Scotland cashmere cardigans, and a killer aligator skin handbag.
ReplyDeleteOhhh I love them! The first one is gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding I bought one a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely wear a cape. they are so chic but also so practical. I love them with long leather gloves too. Get your capes on ladies!!

I am totally into capes, I have a bright red one that kind of looks like little red riding hood.. it's so cute I adore wearing it.
ReplyDeleteI want a wool plaid one...
Im loving this look too. I had my eye on that ASOS military cape earlier this week, love it in both colors!

Love this trend! I think I need to find a cape asap :)
ReplyDeleteI would totally wear one! They are much more versatile when it comes to different hem lengths!
ReplyDeleteL
Who cares about capes, what I want is her Alexander Wang bag!!! (But I love capes too!)
ReplyDeleteI would wear a cape in a heartbeat...being in Minnesota, I will need one soon! That girl looks like Whitney Port but not sure?!
ReplyDeletei think these girls look gorgeous in their capes! almost enough to tempt me into wanting one although it's so cold around here i'd probably want sleeves, too :)
ReplyDeleteAnyone have any idea who makes the first cape pictured? I love that one.
ReplyDeleteOuuuu you've read my mind! I totally want a cape too!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I can't find one, I'll have to make one myself :)
This is random, but I was perusing a Teen Vogue at the doctor's office today and that second photo was in there attached to a scandalous story about how those two teens tried to sneak into Fashion Week. Wild!
ReplyDeleteShe sure can put a cute outfit together though!
yup. agreed. capes are cool. :)

Oh yeah! And gloves. I should move somewhere colder.
ReplyDeletehell yes!
ReplyDeleteI loooove capes and I have coveted the one from the first picture since it came out! I have a cape and I love it!
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah! Lurv!
ReplyDeleteI bought a suede cape from a vintage shop in the 90s but never got up the nerve to wear it, can you believe that? Gawd I was shy in high school, never wanted to draw attention to myself but my sartorial aesthetic was already veering toward the dramatic. This time around, I'm NOT letting the inner wallflower keep me from wearing a cape! I found a beautiful leather-trimmed, fully lined wool plaid cape (by Pendleton, no less; Oregonian pride!) on etsy for $25. I've got to take in the shoulders, but by gum, I'm gonna do it and rock that cape!
ReplyDeletelove this one a lot. http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/de/de/zara-sales/11015/83735/CAPE%2BMIT%2BKAROMUSTER
ReplyDeletewowie. looking forward to colder days <3
I love capes!!!! Instant classic.
ReplyDeleteThe capes at Zara are quite pleasing to the eye, but I found them to be incredibly impractical in person. More than $100 for a thin cape with a small closure at the top that won't keep you warm at all? I was disappointed.
So I opted for this one from Asos in Khaki(http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-Hooded-Military-Cape/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1162523&SearchQuery=capes&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=-1&sort=-1&clr=Black).
Joanna, you would look fantastic in a cape! Go for it... can't wait to see pictures!
I WOULD!
ReplyDeleteI JUST POSTED ABOUT CAPES IN MY BLOG YESTERDAY! NOW I'M SURE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE IT!
IT'S A SHAME IT'S STILL PRETTY WARM IN NY, BUT SOON...

XOXO FROM A BRASILIAN NEW YORKER!
I would absolutely wear the first one.. love it..!
ReplyDeleteYes, and especially if I had that gold bubble skirt at bottom to pair it with!
ReplyDeleteI like the cape trend. Very hard to pull off here in Cali, but I like it!
ReplyDeleteThose look seriously comfortable and warm!
ReplyDeleteaglamorousdemeanor.blogspot.com
Yes.
ReplyDeleteI love capes! Yes I would and do wear them.
ReplyDeletehttp://kathleenjackson.blogspot.com
I have one, from a vintage shop in Iceland. It's cement gray, with a Lincoln Center theatre-curtain-red lining
ReplyDeleteYes! And I love mine : http://notyourgoddess.blogspot.com/2009/12/miabella-photography.html
ReplyDeleteYes I would. I love that they can keep out the cool autumn chill and yet give more freedom of movement than most jackets.
ReplyDeletewow so warm and comfy
ReplyDeletelove their heels so amazing
ReplyDeleteLove it! I would definitely wear one!!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to own one, but I don't think they are very practical. I ride my bike a lot and I think the wind would go straight through it, so you'll be chilled every time there's just a wisp of wind. Or when you ride your bike.
ReplyDeletedefinitely! i love that first one!
ReplyDeleteCapes looks great! It adds fashion to your wardrobe! Especially during cold days. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love capes!
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES I LOVELOVELOVE IT!!

They look very comfty and warm, can't help but feeling a bit like 'red riding hood. LOL
ReplyDeleteJust got one today!
ReplyDeleteI have a simple black cape from last year that I love. They're so functional, and I love how they can be casual or dressy.
ReplyDeletelove the ease and simplicity of a cape plus it always looks chic!

Yes! In fact I'm 5 mos. pregnant and have been trying to find a vintage or affordable cape to wear into the colder months. No luck though!
ReplyDeleteCertain people are the hardest things to let go. But you are right, you cannot extract a person from an object. I find that being grateful for the time I had with the person brings joy and helps alleviate the grief.
