A cape coat is definitely a piece which didn't made its way to my wardrobe, well..until now. As I like to try different things whenever I get the chance and you know how much I love wearing coats, this time I decided to choose and style a different type of coat: the CAPE.

In case you didn't know, a cape is a sleeveless coat which is to be worn over different long sleeved blouses, sweaters, dresses, leaving the sleeves of the latter items to be seen. Or it can be worn with long gloves. In my opinion, a cape coat is quite an elegant, feminine piece and can be worn on several occasions. I chose a black cape because I thought it is the easiest to style and it goes with everything, but black is also the most elegant non-colour. I love its golden buttons and I think they make this piece look more expensive than it really is and I also like the scalloped edges, which give quite a nice touch to it. I would have liked the fabric to be thicker so that I could wear this cape during the cold days of winter as well, but during the not-so-cold autumn days this is just perfect.  

I paired the cape with a patterned blouse in order to make the cape stand out and emphasize its cut and shape, but also because I thought it looks more interesting. Then, berets are my tiny obsession at the moment and I finally found the perfect red one which makes me think of that parisian chic again. Paris, mon amour! 
I also added a red bag to match the beret and my red lipstick and finally, the over the knee boots, which are a must-have for winter.

What do you think of this look?

Have a lovely weekend,
