Doesn't make it wrong, but it would be a consideration for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427908 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 17:12:28 +0000 MsMary 427908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bring it home and have Mr. Dr. GP take photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427868 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:26:51 +0000 goldenpig 427868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm Angie, that's a toughie...how to take pics in the dressing room without holding the camera? Unless I rope the fitting room SA into being my photographer or bring a tripod with me. Maybe I can do a whole fashion shoot, hee hee! Well, I'll have to think about that one and get back to you....<br /> Natalie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427856 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:11:27 +0000 Vildy 427856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, a fascinating perspective re: holding still to see how something falls. I don't feel like anything's "mine" until I know that it moves with me. That's why I instantly liked the sweater cape on her. I have trouble with website/catalog photos in most cases because they're, you know, standing around. I want to see them strut off out of the frame! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427829 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:56:31 +0000 Angie 427829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the fence and do apologize for being a spanner, Nathalie. </p> <p>Holding the camera in place to take the photo adjusts the fit of the cape - which is how we are seeing it here. I'd need to see a photo of how it would look with your arms by your sides, which is how it would fall in real life. I hope that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427823 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:47:49 +0000 Elly 427823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't decide on the green thing, but I will tell you you have beautiful limbs. If I were you I would rock the skinnies and tunics look (esp. with 3/4 and bracelet sleeves-- even in winter with a thin warm sweater or layering tee under). I think #1 looks absolutely model-y and shows off your figure in a way I haven't seen on you often enough--- still not sure this is "your cape" though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427806 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:22:32 +0000 ironkurtin 427806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the first cape I've liked on anyone. Color is a personal choice, sometimes one that makes you happy is more important than the perfect shade for you, IMO. So pick the shade that thrills you most. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427785 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 13:44:34 +0000 modgrl 427785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Rute, I would like to see something with more structure. The one she posted has a waist defining belt, that is a nice touch. The one your are trying on is kind of swallowing you up. How would you wear it? The shape of it seems like it could get annoying real quick. If it had sleeves it would give you more freedom of movement with the kiddies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427770 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 13:22:29 +0000 rae 427770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the shape, length, and volume on you... like Diane, though, I am not sure about the color. Looks like the lighting has thrown off your camera's white balance, so the colors are all warmed up more than normal, so it's hard to get a good read on what this does to your complexion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427765 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 13:13:29 +0000 Queen Mum 427765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427760 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:58:21 +0000 DressLover 427760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it a functional cape? From looking at your arms in the photos, it looks like the cape "traps" them more than a cape in coat form would. If you have a good range of motion, then go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427748 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:34:03 +0000 celia 427748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just my biased opinion here: I love it as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427727 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:57:01 +0000 Allison 427727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on your budget. This looks cute to me this season, but I am not sure I would say the same in a year or so. Kind of trendy and I know Anthro is expensive so that would be the only thing holding me back. There are probably better capes out there for you for less $$. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427724 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:51:11 +0000 teeandcee 427724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427714 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:03:15 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 427714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a dissenter here. I like the style on you (I am not yet a cape convert) but don't think the warm color is your best choice. I think you would look better in a cool color like a blue or green with a slight blue undertone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427701 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 10:20:34 +0000 Vildy 427701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh, like a big sweater. Gorgeous color and if you like and wear oversize sweaters, then it's great. It's great in my eyes. I kind of think it's a plus that it's not the typical cape that they push unsucsessfully every year. Has a different mood because of the difference in drape vs. crispness. So, back to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427694 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 09:56:23 +0000 Anonymous 427694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about the shape, but the color is Lovely! The "looking good" is dependent of whether you like to wear deconstructed flowy shapes, or you'd feel better with some waist definition/structure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427691 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 09:49:44 +0000 sarah 427691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore it on you, exactly as you've "styled" it in the dressing room! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427689 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 09:12:31 +0000 rute 427689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's lovely on you but I would choose something in another fabric.. That wool fabric won't last long.</p> <p>Maybe something like that cape from asos </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-look-good-in-this-cape#post-427685 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 07:32:17 +0000 goldenpig 427685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to return something at Nordstrom's so I thought it would be fun to pop next door to Anthro. I tried on a moss green cape that the ladies on my mommy board have been raving about. I didn't buy it though, because I wasn't so sure that I look good in a cape. What do you think, are capes for me or do they swallow me up? Any recommendations on styles or colors or other brands? (I think they had other styles in brown plaid, purple, etc). </p>
