It’s All About the Cape

Over the weekend we had the pleasure of attending “movie night” at the San Francisco Symphony…it really is as enjoyable as it sounds! Sit back and indulge while the symphony plays the soundtrack live – we watched the Nightmare Before Christmas. I highly recommend attending a show like this in a city near you. It is definitely the “young way” to appreciate what the symphony has to offer.

A sharp black on black ensemble seemed very fitting for this quirky film, so I paired a lace bodysuit with distressed jeans. Keeping the edgy vibe going, I accessorized with a floppy hat, peep-toe booties, and an ombre box clutch. This outfit would have been far less interesting without the finishing touch, the cape! The black and olive combination created just enough contrast and as a result, the lace sleeves really popped.

It’s all about the cape! If there is one chic item you are going to treat yourself to this holiday season, make it a cape. Shop this cape jacket at Current Clothing for only $58 (text to order 415-980-4772) or shop some of my cape favorites below:

Jacquard Skirt

Let’s face it – it’s time to start collecting fall apparel. Already into the second week of September, those crisp autumn mornings will be here before you know it. But it doesn’t mean stocking up on heavy sweaters and long pants just yet. Instead, think transitional pieces, like this jacquard skirt.

With house guests arriving over the weekend, my goal was to look polished and chic. This bright printed skirt helped me accomplish just that. Although I kept it simple with a black off the shoulder top and gray sandals, I love how you can style this piece so many different ways. Swap out the short sleeve top for a long sleeve turtleneck and when the temperatures begin to drop, throw on black stockings and high heel booties. And when you hit the San Francisco streets on a breezy day, tame your mane with a black wool hat – exactly what I did Saturday afternoon. I accessorized lightly with a pearl collar necklace with matching ear jackets and completed the look with a taupe purse and gold bangles.

Now that you see how easy it is to incorporate a skirt into your fall attire, will you be adding one to your wardrobe wish list?!
