a cape!

it's really beautiful in person. vintage 50s/60s. but again, a cape! it is belted and has two front pockets. (plus it snaps shut in the front) gah.





i am thinking elbow length black leather gloves and tall black boots. but seriously, should i?

i'm crazy but i love it. if i lived in NYC I'd rock it with pride, although I'd probably wear aubergine leather gloves and a sea green cloche. my mother had a houndstooth shirt that she wore EVERYWHERE...i houndstooth.


so clearly i'm not one to tell you whether it looks normal or not.

Is that you in the picture? If so, I think it looks really cute.  Definately with something slim underneath.

I think it's an awesome piece. The kind that might get you on the Sartorialist, or something. ~wink~

And I love Lilykind's spin on the accessories. :)

I think it's awesome. Some big sunglasses and gloves? Man you'd be set.

That is the most stylish 'piece' I've ever seen on a real person.  You look like you walked right off a very, very chic runway my dear, and only in a good way - not in a 'trying to wear crazy runway clothes in real life' way.

By all means, YES! You can wear this, it looks fab on you. I too like houndstooth. You have/find the best vintage clothes.
