Caped crusaders

Hey mamas! After the typical “overtired mum” rant of yesterday, things are looking better today, at least concerning the health of our first-born. He’s back to his indefatigable self, which is a joy to see.

Mama fashion wise, today’s post is about capes, which are such a warm and comfy sartorial solution for big bumped mamas, or for anyone who likes capes. I own one, and I don’t wear it as often as I should, it always end up relegated to the deep end of the wardrobe, dunno why. Anyway, hope you find the below selection helpful and inspiring, which is all this blog is about!
