If you follow me on Instagram, you may have taken part in the recent discussion on my Instagram story, “to cape jacket, or not to cape jacket.” I solicited the advice of you, my oh-so-honest followers on your thoughts on a new piece of clothing I had recently acquired: the cape jacket. True to your usual form, you were vocal, expressive, and in no short supply of passionate opinions.
Who knew one little cape jacket could stir up such controversy?
Some of you hated it, most of you loved it. And a lot of you offered great suggestions on how to style it. LOVE that!

If you loved the cape, I can’t wait to hear if you’re going to get a matching one! If you hated it, hopefully you got a good laugh. Thanks for always being open and honest — love you guys!
It’s actually a perfect cover-up for when you are expecting. Love the shoes.
Thanks, Julie! I definitely warmed up to the cape and agree — it’s a great layering piece and an interesting coverup. Beats a cardigan, right?!

Just ordered it! I can’t believe it was only $36! I’ll let you know how she looks when I get her! Thanks!
Can’t wait to see — make sure you share, ok?!
Hands down, the cape jacket is my favorite trend for fall. The swingy silhouette of a cape combined with the tailored look of a jacket; What more could a girl ask for? This is the perfect transitional piece of outerwear to help carry you through autumn while channeling your inner cool girl.
Totally agree!! Glad you love it as much as I do ;))
