Get the Edgy Yet Elegant Look With These Capes

November 8, 2018

For the past three years my best friend has been bugging me about buying a scarf or cape (thanks Vanessa!) I am typically a sweatshirt or athleisure type of girl when it comes to bundling up, but last year I went for it and scooped up a few of these goodies and never looked back. To tell you the truth these capes have become my #1 travel accessory because with the kids they double up as a blanket too.

I think of it as the edgy, yet, elegant way to travel. As it turns out, these pieces are chic, simple, and incredibly warm – what’s not to love? I did splurge this year and buy the Burberry Merino Cape, but I also have several that I have picked up under $50 that have amazing reviews.

One Cape, Three Ways

Tip: Beware of 100% wool capes / ponchos, they will be too itchy to enjoy, instead reach for wool blends and ALWAYS read reviews.

Remember this look from last year?

Fall Shopping Haul – 4 Trends to Watch For

The chicks have compiled a list of items that we have splurged on this season. One thing we noticed is that this fall has the most unique sweater trends we have seen a while!

Cold Shoulder is Still a Thing

So grateful that we can hang on to this summer trend! The cold shoulder and off-the-shoulder sweaters are surprisingly comfortable and warm! Although it won’t help you beat the cooler temps, looking extra ‘hot’ may help.

New Textures

Anyone notice that suddenly velvet and suede are everywhere? These fabrics are super fun, they have an iridescent look to them that brighten up any outfit. Velvet has a way of feeling formal and fancy, so grab at least one thing velvety for your wardrobe this year.

Red Is the New Black

We started to take notice when Clark and Stone had suddenly splashed red all over her Instagram and blog that red really kind of looks nice with natures fall colors and of course our favorite lipsticks. The chicks tend to gravitate to nudes and blacks so it was fun to finally add some red to the wardrobe this season.

Statement Sleeves

Ok, this one is what makes sweaters this year different. The sleeves this year are so unique and chic that they do all the talking this season. Some are layered, ruffled, multi-colored, and ballooned! These loose fitting looks make a girl feel good and on trend. Abiha Khan shared some of her Asos and Nordstom finds and we could not agree more with the variety that she scooped up!
