OOTD featuring Primark and Asos

During October, I always bring this beautiful jumper out of my wardrobe. Halloween is approaching so bat print feels very fitting. I love the vampy feel to the outfit and how oversized each item looks. Just like my sugar skull jumper featured previously, I purchased this jumper over a year ago. But during this time of the year shops bring out all their Halloween themed clothing and during sales you can always grab yourself a wardrobe staple.

Blanket capes are bang on trend right now, so I thought I'd compile a few of my favourites I've found. So many bloggers are posting about them and if you went to/watched London fashion week I'm sure you saw them crop up quite a lot. I'm loving the monochrome trend as you can tell from my selection but I found quite a few colourful capes as well. They are actually super easy to style and wear. They can look a bit fiddly but they either have a clasps at the top or you can wrap a belt round the centre to create a simple outfit. There are also a few capes with built in sleeves like number 2 which make it even easier to style them. I think they are a great transition from kimonos and will be sticking around for a while. New Look have a large selection right now so it's worth popping in and trying on a few styles and picking which you think suits you best. I've already purchased number 5 and hopefully will purchase a tartan cape later on just to add a bit of colour to my outfits.

I'll posting an outfit featuring my cape very soon. I'm sure blanket capes won't be everyone's cup of tea but I love them. Will you be picking one up for the winter chills?
