Late last winter, I caught the cape bug, passed on to me by my dear friend Casey Kettleson. I'd found a passable cable knit version from Old Navy, but I wasn't able to really find the cape and with spring styles rapidly shipping, I'd missed my chance. I hadn't even began to think about my outerwear options when DKNY PR Girl had to go and put a cape on her top 5 list for fall.

Naturally the DKNY cape is pure perfection, but sadly out of my size range. While browsing my beloved Nordstrom earlier this week, I found the perfect plus sized alternative: the Sejour Faux Leather Trim Cape. Obviously, I purchased it on the spot!

I can't wait to mix this cape with everything I own and pretend I'm some sort of imaginary fashion superhero, especially as I walk up the steps of Lincoln Center during fashion week.

Do you love a good cape? Is it too early in the season to think about your outerwear outlook for the chilly days ahead?
