The Cape | Your No:1 Layering Companion

With the cold weather over the Winter in the UK, I am forever looking for warmth in my wardrobe and layering has been a key tactic for achieving this.

Most days, in fact, I have been reaching for a trusty cape to keep me warm. They instantly transform any outfit and are also so easy to remove should you get too hot.

 

My top tips for styling a cape are:

1  Avoid anything that looks like you’re wearing a blanket

2  Pick out a colour from your cape and compliment it with your outfit (like I have with the red and grey)

3  Go casual by adding a pair of trainers for extra comfort

4  Have fun with it!

    Loving your jeans! The thing with rips is I'm too lazy to fake tan my whole body and then I forget and you can see my white knees through the holes :/

    Thanks Tasha, I think that fake tanning again has made my skin look brighter, something I need to try and stick with for 2015! xx

    I can't even tell you how much I love the grey/burgundy combo!!!! I have a similar black/camel look coming up that reminds me of this so I think that could be why! Just. Love. It! Gx
