Plaid capes are all the rage right now. I bought one, and it’s great for layering over light sweaters.

Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.
Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
Don’t know if I’d ever wear these outside of the house…or maybe office, but I always love it when the intern option is my fave! It looks so cozy and subtly patriotic 🙂
I’ve seen these worn belted and they look great, but I think I’d end up using this like a really chic glorified throw blanket to wear around the house.
How are these not blankets?
If you live in Canada, Indigo sells gorgeous plaid blanket capes with a fringe for about $60 CAD. I have one and love it, although I will fully admit I’ve never worn it outside the house.
Belle, how do you wear these under a coat? Doesn’t it get all bunched up?
I wear it over my light winter peacoat. I also wear it over a thick sweater.
I love the Ann Taylor reversible cape!
