Have you ever tried to wear a poncho or cape top and then wear a jacket over it? Doesn’t work. You get a bad case of the way-too-much-material-at-the-shoulders-can’t-put-my-jacket-on syndrome. It’s a horrible disease. Luckily for you, I’ve found the perfect solution! Wear a cape over your cape! Ta-da!
Cape on!…
… Cape off to reveal another cape! BAM!
I’m laughing because I’m chasing some ducks!

Okay, so I was being WAY silly, but it is annoying to have all that bunching when you’re covering up with another jacket. Anyhow, ponchos/ cape tops are FIVE GOLD STARS when it comes to comfiness factor. You could eat your weight in food {and have a food baby} and no one would know under all that material! Why do you think I wore it to our London tea time?
The Style Rx: Wear a cape over bulky sweaters or another cape/poncho for an easy, comfy, and warm look!
Okay, are you thanking me for introducing you to Bethany of B Soup yet?! Isn’t she gorgeous? And she really is a mama! I’m hoping to look that good when I’m a mama!

What a great idea! Beautiful cape too! You look lovely… and your earrings are fantastic!
Love the cape on you! I really REALLY wanted a cape earlier this year but when I tried one on I just looked like a big dumpy mess :( I so wish I could pull it off as beautifully as you have.
Cape on cape – brilliant! hehe I hate wearing capes with jackets because the material gets stuffed into the sleeves so this is ingenius. Looks like you got some highlights in your hair ;)
So stunning! And those anthro earrings are to die for! Miss you girly. Hope all is fab!

[…] hard for me to deviate the “style” in which I wear an item. I basically wore this poncho the exact same way last time. To change it up, I wore a different bag and added a faux fur scarf. Remember when I […]
