Happy Monday dolls! So I think everyone knows how obsessed I am with capes. I literally rock my Nasty Gal Champagne Taste Cape Blazer every opportunity I get as you see below.
I also compliment and post obsessively when the lovely @JanelleMonae adorns anything cape related. She’s a cape queen in my eyes. Anyways, it is safe to say capes are my thing; which is why when I browsed ASOS over the weekend and saw their insane beaded cape game I not only had to order one of my own here, but I had to do a wear it edition on the blog.
I rounded up my 6 favorites and wanted to show that although beaded capes give the illusion as a more dressed up piece it can be worn for a variety of occasions.
Moyna cape coat / ASOS cape coat / MAYA cape coat / Moyna cape coat / MAYA cape coat / Moyna cape coat / Moyna cape coat / MAYA cape coat / MAYA cape coat / Moyna cape coat / Moyna cape coat / ASOS cape coat
Rebecca Taylor white tank top / ASOS cape coat / Frame Denim distressed jeans / Casadei nude shoes / Emily Cho hand bag / Anne Klein rose gold jewelry
This nude embellished cape is paired with distressed jeans and a tank for a chic casual look. The embellishment on the cape enhances this looks and takes it from simple to glam, day to night in an instant.
Kalmanovich black top / Moyna cape coat / Relaxfeel red skirt / Sophia Webster black sandals / MM6 Maison Margiela silver purse / Black diamond engagement ring
I decided to pair this beautiful grey colored cape with a pop of red for a night out or a cocktail event. Aside from the pop of color the outfit is extremely neutral; however each piece is a statement piece. The cape is a nice addition to the look giving it a more luxe feeling.
River Island white tank top / MAYA cape coat / Topshop tall pants / Christian Louboutin high heel shoes, $515 / Massimo Castelli black purse / Sterling silver jewelry
Last, but certainly not least is a beaded cape look paired with slacks for work attire or business event. I opted for navy to keep things neutral and classic. In this case, the beaded cape is used as a blazer or third piece. Still appropriate, but with a modern twist.
How would you rock these beaded capes?
