Swashbuckle into Fall Fashion in a Military-Chic Cape

Whether you go for one that's new - like this uber-chic tweed version from Balmain - or scour eBay for something fab'ly vintage, a dashing cape is a key outerwear piece for fall.  Slouchy boots (Stella McCartney), chain-handle bag (Lanvin) and armwarmers (Christopher Kane) layered over your black leather gloves (Miu Miu) complete the look; when you shed your outer layers, an 80s'ish Alexander Wang color-block dress, statement necklace (Lee Angel) and ruby red lips (try YSL ROUGE VOLUPT in "Red Temptation") add just enough 80s pizazz to show them that this girl just wants to have fun.
