Fall in Style with a Houndstooth Cape

Oh how quickly the fall has come and gone here in New York. I'm so glad that my children and I got one more chance to play with the leaves before the snow came. My children wanted to join along too and I'm happy to let them. That way this busy vintage mom can keep an eye on them and get some photos in for my blog. Its a happy medium I have finally struck with my private life and blog life and everyone wins in the end.

This Fall afternoon out I wore that cape I thrifted and shared on my Instagram . It was brand new with tags and being sold for 12.99, but it was Monday and they had special sales that day so I actually paid 9.27 for it. It was originally priced at 89.00 so it was a mega score plus its a cape and its houndstooth. This is probably one of my favorite pieces in my closet right now. This paired with my 1960's styled Greek fisherman's cap and some loop earrings and I was all decked out in 1960's style for the duration of my day. That easy! They do say less is more!

The Fall is my very favorite season and sadly it has come and gone too quickly. But I'm grateful that at least we got to play in the leaves a bit before it ended. Now we have snow and bulky sweaters to look forward to! What is your favorite season?
