Last season when the cape jackets were making a big splash, I’ll be honest – I thought it was a one-season deal! But then they re-surfaced this year and I was kicking myself for not grabbing one at a super discount price at the end of the season.
A few weeks ago I managed to score this cape from New York & Co. at a great discount thanks to some extra markdowns and additional coupons I grabbed online. w00t w00t! What I like the best about it is that the belt helps cinch the waist to make it not be so baggy. Plus the belt helps keep the warmth in, instead of escaping through all the extra folds of material.
I’m going to need to grab a pair of long gloves to wear with this when the weather really starts to get cold and makes cap wearing a lot more challenging on the arms.
Tip: When buying a winter coat it doesn’t have to be an over-sized lump to keep you warm in the cold weather.

Very stylish! I love cape coats, but they’re not so practical when there’s snow, wind and sub-zero degrees!

True! I’m waiting to see how much use I get out of it in the colder months. But for the chilly fall weeks it is perfect.
I so want to try out a cape this year – I have a feeling I may look demented but I just love the style so much that that’s a risk I am more than willing to take.

I really like capes, but here in KS, the wind is so strong in the winter that they are not really practical. You do look great!

I have been DYING to get myself a cape and have been scouring the clearance racks for the perfect one at the perfect price. Blast, nothing yet. I love yours!

Robin, this one wasn’t technically clearance, but the price I paid with the store discount and coupon practically made it clearance. Watch for their next sale and go for it – New York & Co. sells this in two colors too!
I want a cape! I’ve wanted one for sooo long! This looks great on you.

What a great coat! I have been loving the capes with the tie in front – I agree that it gives it a better shape while still maintaining the cape look.
