WEEKEND BBQ LOOKS

As Memorial Day quickly approaches and the weather has been nice, BBQ's will be happening.  Women always want to know what are different options they can wear to look stylish yet not over done at a bbq.

Covered Up in a Cape

Looking for a new look to stay warm this winter?  Try wearing a cape.  The different styles of capes change both the warmth and the style look.  The key thing when wearing a cape is the fit of the clothing you pair it with, so you don't end up looking larger than you truly are.

This  Jones New York Cape, $199 is best worn with a fitted dress or skirt or slim fit pants.  It works best with bolder colors underneath.

Milly's Purple Sienne Belted Cape is a great way to show off your waist.  You still get the fullness and warmth of a cape, but still having a shape.  This works well with slim pants and boots.  $570.90.

 

Larry Levine's Cape with Epaulet's, $64.99 are truly fashion forward.  The large sleeve with opening emphasizes the mid-section and buttons again at the bottom to emphasize your figure.

Betsey Johnson's Black Wool Blend Tie Waist Cape Coat buttons at the neckline and is belted giving your cape a more fitted look.  This is a great casual coat to wear with jeans or leggings.  $142.40.

Try a shorter length cape coat which is great for going out on the town.  This studded version is ultra chic and modern.  Susana Monaco, $150.60.
