A trench….cape!

July 25, 2017 by stylecadenza No Comments

Admitting that I am obsessed with capes is probably still an understatement. I have a black wool cape that I wear all winter long and absolutely love it. As I started to look around for a trench style cape, I realized that they were hard to come by. Burberry had a nice version, but it was short, single-breasted, and …not exactly what I was looking for. Not to be discouraged, I decided I would just make my own! I signed up for a sewing class mid-January and since there wasn’t a cape-making class (What?!) I first tackled a skirt and then a dress as part of the group. After that I jumped into the advanced group so that I could work on my own projects…enter cape! I made it exactly how I wanted: I picked the fabric, chose the length, made it double-breasted, put a gun-flap in front, and a flap in back. It took a lot of hours, but I’m thrilled with the outcome. I think it will get a ton of use…once the weather gets a little cooler:-). There are a few things I’ll change as I go to make the next cape, but overall I’m really excited about this one.

I wanted this to be a DIY post, but failed miserably because I didn’t document the process and took a total of 0 pictures along the way! Next cape:-)

White eyelet + nude heels

July 21, 2017 by stylecadenza No Comments

Dressing for summer should be easy-and the fewer pieces to coordinate the better. I love everything about this white dress…the length, the fit, the pretty eyelet details…it reminds me just a bit of the long white eyelet drapes that hung in my Mom’s bedroom when I was little:-)  I’m also into nude heels right now.  They go with everything and I feel like they lengthen my legs…and every little bit helps!  What are your favorite summer pieces?!

Summer Stripes

July 13, 2017 by stylecadenza No Comments

This is one of my favorite summer dresses. The buttoned-up top plus the striped pleats make it just perfect. You can dress it up or down, wear sandals or heels…anything goes. i’m also obsessing over this light blue clutch right now and use it just about every day.
