Who Loves Capes? Superheroes, Fashionistas & I

When I was small, I remember my mom putting a cape on me.  It was red Scottish-plaid and I felt like Little Red Riding Hood (in a good way, not in a almost-got-eaten-by-a-wolf-way...)

Since then I have waited and waited for the return of the cape to everyday fashion.  We came close with the poncho fad of a few years ago, but ponchos lack that Britishy-Frenchy-Europey elegance of a cape.

Fortunately, my wait has ended and the cape has returned to fashion magazines everywhere [and even a 'Today Show' fashion segment.]

Zara has a very sweet cape that someone should buy me for Christmas... (actually I'll take ANYTHING from Zara, because I love them too... but one love at a time!)
In closing: Superman has bogarted this look long enough, it's finally my turn again.

Pros:

• The return of Red Riding Hood, no matter your shape or size!
  
• Love the look too?  Layer underneath and keep it going through the chilly winter months.
• It plays up your dainty wrists, so don't forget a bracelet or two.

Cons:

• Thermal layers might be needed for an Artic fan.
