Asos belted cape coat, Aldo ankle boots, Banana Republic earrings
Yes, I stole Blair Waldorf's signature look and I'm not giving it back. The other day, one of the buttons of my old favorite Zara coat popped off, and then I realized how worn out it was from our Vancouver winters. I guess this wasn't all bad, as it meant I was due for a new coat! I was looking for something other than a traditional black peacoat; something classy yet unique. So there I was on my routine ASOS browse-through, when I saw this gorgeous teal cape coat: it's feminine, lady-like, and everything I was looking for! There was a fair share of capes on recent runways (Thakoon, Derek Lam, Marc Jacobs, and many more). I was always intrigued by them. In fact my fav childhood outfit was this purple cape! I remember being super embarrassed when my mom made me stand infront of the playground for photos... while other kids were swinging on monkey bars behind me. I have to find these pics and post them soon! It's safe to say I've always been a fan of capes. I just love the way it falls... this coat almost feels like a dress! If there's one bad thing about them is that you have to opt for a satchel instead of a shoulder bag. Although, I imagine a messenger might work too :)
This got me thinking... can a statement piece also be an investment piece? I say Yes. I can see myself wearing this coat 5, 10 years down the road!... if it still fits.
