Cape, Mossimo (thrifted). Poncho (underneath), Newport News. Turtleneck, Merona. Skirt, Mossimo. Tights, We Love Colors. Boots, Miz Mooz. Bag, Lewis (thrifted and vintage)
I’m discovering that a cape is more practical than I might have thought. For instance, it is the only outerwear one can comfortable wear over a poncho.
The cape has purple lining!
As you might have guessed from the festive color combination, we were on our way to a holiday party. I added a perky pair of antlers to complete my Christmas-y look.
Beefy got into the spirit of things, too, and wore my Valkyrie Santa hat:

Still photos don’t do it justice.

Wow, that red color is just stunning with your hair. Also, that is the best poncho outfit I've ever laid eyes on.
I have a cape, a beautiful thick black one, that I bust out in the cold rains here in San Francisco. My friend gave it to me 5 years ago, and I love it!
WOW! You look glamorous!!! IT is amazing what good red lips and a well placed sultry black cape will do...gorgeously inspiring!
I love the cape and sweater and tights. Well I guess I love it all. Great outfit.
Cute! love the valkyrie santa hat!
I have that same cape! I've been debating embellishing it but I'm afraid to do anything permanent.
Awwww, a Mossimo cape of your own! Now we can be, like, cape twins! Or something... Maybe that's just in my head. Moving on.
Anyway - love the look. Festive, fun, and you're wearing the Boots Of Glory. Which, as you know, I covet mightly.
The cape, the poncho, the boots...they are all making me hyperventilate.....I need to find them all....
Wish I had your sense of style fearlessness!
Love the colors :)
And I hadn't thought of that useful aspect of capes, so bad I've kept avoiding getting one because I believed them impractical.
Yopu look lovely.
I am so glad to have found you for the love of pearls through Reva.
You are now in my blogroll, and I am following you.
MERRY CXMAS

freeda - you might think about a removable embellishment like Vanessa's feather epaulettes:

cool. very operatic.
Loved being in the pearl party with you...your picture was awesome..you win Best of Show! I am also happy to discover your blog..just added you to my list!
The red cape is great!
Such creative layering! And this is the best Christmas-themed outfit I've seen in ages.
I love the red shawl and is cute with the turtle neck.. and the cape.. well... I have been trying on cape lately too but no sure about the armholes. Maybe for ladies back in the day, they didnt have to move their arms around other than a slight lady-like wave to a man. BUT us today.. well.. how can I carry a laptop bag with constrained arms like that? Or heave a bag of salt into the back of my car in the winter...LOL
Jodi - I agree...shoulder bags are mostly off limits with a cape. I wouldn't even THINK about a backpack!
I may try something like that embellishment... I sense a trip to Michaels in my future.
Jodi, I have a weakness for smallish flat cross-body bags, and those work great under a cape or poncho! In fact, that is what I wear when traveling to make myself inconvenient to pickpockets.
You photos are so awesome !!!!!
(and of course so are your outfits ;)
xXx

These are some of your best photos to date!! Fabulous shots and you look gorgeous :)
I love the festive theme since it's not going to overboard.
I got the same cape (thrifted also)in grey. Love it!!! I love the blue with your red hair too!
