THE WHITE CAPE

Lately, i have been going gaga over this brand called Haoduoyi.  They have a lovely collection of coats, dresses and unconventional tops.  It is an online brand and their clothes prices are quite reasonable.  Most of the pieces are actually cheap.  I was dubious at the quality when I tried it the first time but was quite surprised when the items arrived and everything actually have good workmanship.  More importantly, their sizes are not confined to ridiculously small Asian sizes.  I usually buy my cape coats from them now.  Check the links below to see for yourself how great their collections are.

THE CAPE

There are times when I just like to dress up more corporate regardless if I have a meeting or not.  I usually do this when I want to uplift my mood because what I wear for the day actually affects my mood most of the time.  I tend to make more effort in dressing up whenever I am tired or had an almost all nighter the night before.  This cape has been in my closet for almost a year now until I decided to wear it today.  i just couldn't find the right pants to go along with it until this pair came along; and I do think that the tailored cut of this pants fits the cape perfectly.  I had to wear heels though or else I will be sweeping the floors because it is a tad longer than it is supposed to be. (and I am too lazy to bring it to the tailor for cutting).

WHAT I WORE:

cape from ZARA

inner top from H&M (my kiddo's shirt)

pants from H&M

eyewear from MIU MIU

phantom bag from CELINE

necklace  from MARCUS (birthday gift before)

dangling earrings from GINA TRICOT

Camel and gray

I love winter days that aren't so dead cold.  Well, maybe the reason why I am not so fond of the cold is because I hailed from a tropical country; or maybe I am just really biased towards summer- my favourite season.  The only thing that I like during winter are the coats.  For this look, I have mixed up my camel cape coat with a pair of grey culottes for a casual Sunday look.  I had to wear leggings underneath though because my pair of pants isn't for winter at all.  I kept the ensemble simple by having a monochromatic hues thereby making the cape my focal piece.

That red dress and the Harry Potter Cape

Just another outfit shot before I went to work.  I call this my Harry Potter coat because it does look like a sorcerer's outerwear, right?  Kidding aside, this coat is one of my most versatile pieces and it is not expensive at all.  I like the irregular cut so much especially when it is closed which I might feature someday with another style.  As for the red pleated dress, it is actually a sleeveless dress of mine that had been with me for the longest time.  I just put a matching red turtleneck on top of it to keep me warm.  It was a cold day when this was taken.  The apricot coloured bag is a gift from a good friend of mine.

WHAT I WORE:

blue asymmetrical cut cape from an online shop here in China

red pleated dress from MANGO

red turtleneck from ZARA

obi belt from a flea market here in China

apricot and beige tote from NINE WEST

knee high boots from ALDO

And this is how it looks like when its front is closed.  It actually becomes a whole lot of different coat.

and it is very warm, I tested it in Chicago when I went out one night with minimal clothing underneath.
