I had a song stuck in my head all day today: Guy Clark's "The Cape" (YouTube link here*).
*as always, linking 'cause I love
- Sweater - J. Crew, thrifted; last worn here in December 2017 with Space Pants

- Shoes - Miista; last worn here a couple of weeks ago for a shopping expedition with Elaine
- Cape (below) - Coracle Clothes, vintage 60s, pass-along from Sheila A; karmically acquired here
I felt awesome in this powerful blue! Wonder Woman would wear this blue.
Only one person noticed the bottom (thank you, Samantha!).
Fooled you! It's culottes!
But really, today was all about my cape. Always trust your cape, people.
I got a LOT of looks in this when I was walking to work and to my WW meeting afterwards. I felt like a spy!
Oh, and that's my blue Agent Carter fedora, cocked at a jaunty angle. I like that it doesn't squish my hair at all.
- Fedora - vintage, thrifted
- Leather gloves - Danier Leather
The stuff:
Bold bling:
- Necklace - Trifari, vintage 60s, thrifted
- Leather/chain bracelet - local
- Link bracelet - Lia Sophia, thrifted
- Earrings - Lazy Susan's
I love everything!, love that you rock your cape!, love the song
ReplyDeleteObviously, I also love that 'wonder woman' blue top, the awesomeness of your crepé culottes, your 'Agent Carter' hat and your fabulous attitude!!
You totally rock!
besos
I love that song so much - thank you, my dear! I had a lot of fun planning around the cape.
DeleteYour culottes remind me of a similar pair I had back in the 80s. How I loved them, and how I mourn the fact that I haven't kept them, although I've probably worn them to death! But oh, that cape! It is absolutely stunning on you, and combined with the jaunty blue fedora, no wonder the boring beige-wearers were staring! Have a great weekend, Sheila! xxx
ReplyDeleteMy Barbie doll (really) had a pair of culottes like this when I was a kid in the early 70s - that's part of how I'm dating these! I knew you would love the cape, Ann! Isn't it fabulous? Happy weekend to you, my dear!
DeleteCatching up, I agree about the cream tights but love the cream blazer and the taupe leather dress and fruit blouse. I’ve never been a fan of culottes but I love your blue sweater, cape, hat and shoes. Glad your foot is feeling better. I was going to ask if Vizzini was pleased to have you back, then I saw your comment about the blanket! I'm sure he was pleased to see you too :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Polly - those tights are toast now. Fair enough on the culottes - it is that huge swatch of black fabric that always makes me think I won't keep them, but they are such a delight to wear. I'm also really happy that my foot is fine now - phew! Vizzini has been teaching us a lesson and being a scamp - we ought not to go away again!
DeleteHa! I thought you didn't wear capes? You look fab in your very smart blue cape and jumper and I guessed they were culottes by the shape. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteNot big long ones (well, not that much...), but I love this one! Good guess on the culottes, Veronica!
DeleteThat's quite a squat! Looks like your fashion exercise regimen!
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm just incorporating my exercise into my fashion, ha! ;-P
DeleteI have never seen a cape like that! I love it! You look amazing as always!

Thank you! I really appreciate that.
DeleteLove the buttons on angle on the cape, I've been waiting to see it in action! It definitely falls into my fave color pallette. As always, you are a gift in my inbox xox!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a nice detail? I was so excited to wear it. Thank you again for reading...and commenting!
