I used to be full of drama when I was young and that was especially true of my wardrobe. My goal was to shock and awe (usually with a preposterously short skirt) but I’m pretty sure it was for all the wrong reasons. My hanker for drama have waned and now the grown up version of shock and awe is with such restrained flair that it is simply chic. Exactly this Lanvin Cape. There is drama for sure, but it is with tasteful control and precise execution. We are on a cape theme this week, and how can I help myself? A billowing sleeve shows people that you know how to handle yourself, especially around open flame, which you should really make sure you can before venturing into this territory. The color is also so bold yet curbed that is just screams sophistication. At Nordstrom for $2,980.
