Capes Aren't Just for Superheroes

While capes often bring to mind images of Superman and Batman, you don’t have to be able to fly or drive a Batmobile to rock one this fall. There are so many fun options! I’ve very pleased that capes appear to be here to stay for a while longer. They’re such a classy and simple look, in my opinion.

Wearing one as a coat can be a great option in fall. (I really love this one!) One of my favorite looks is as a dress, like this one I wore a few years back. However, there’s nothing simpler and classier than a cape blouse.

The blouse I’m wearing is true-to-size, and it’s not see-through. I thought that was nice for a white blouse! I almost always have to wear a cami under anything white, but that’s not the case with this one.

The best part, though, is that this blouse is just $12!! You can’t beat that price. For that price, it’s not the world’s greatest quality and I don’t think it will last for too many years of wearing and washing. However, for $12, I’m more than satisfied with it. (I’ll just be extra careful when washing it.)

Pairing boots with a cape is one of my favorite looks as well. You can sort of pretend you’re actually a superhero then. Break out your cape and your butt-kicking boots, and go save the world!

Speaking of boots, these are my current favorites from DSW. They’re from last year, and this year’s version has a little extra bling to them. However, I still think they look great. Plus, they’re easy to walk in and they fit my wide feet!
