Practicality and fashion (sadly) don’t always go hand in hand. A case in point is the whole trend of throwing a great coat over your shoulders and heading out the door. It looks so effortlessly cool and chic but for those of us who have to use our arms regularly…no way. Thankfully capes are plentiful and very well done this fall. Like the tossed-on coat, they give your overall look a very “cool chick” vibe with the added bonus of the ability to rifle through your bag for your keys, carry a cup of coffee, change a diaper…whatever your day requires. And if you happen to be pregnant or nursing, a great cape may just turn out to be your best friend thanks to their loose, adjustable fit.
