The Great (es)Cape

Skirt The Rules // Spring Trench CapeWhen I lived in Arizona, outerwear used to be at the bottom of my sartorial priority — I remember buying my first pea coat from Forever 21 and thinking it was an unnecessary splurge.  Oh how little I knew.

Skirt The Rules // Spring Trench CapeNow I have a coat for nearly every occasion.  A puffer jacket for the bitter cold,  a trench for rainy days and a wool coat for the chilly days in between.  The current focus: spring outerwear.  I’m in love with this trench-inspired cape from Ann Taylor.  It’s a modern twist on a classic style and I have a feeling I’ll be wearing it all season long.  Happy Monday friends!
