Etsom·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once in a while.
For the last couple of days, it’s been the perfect weather for an outerwear cape. Those of you who live in a temperate zone know there’s only about 3 weeks per year when a statement that wacky can be made, so let’s not waste the opportunity! (If I had room in my coat closet, I’d totally buy at least one of these bad boys…)
Let’s start with something gorgeous and completely impractical! By OrientlnI just want to touch this gorgeous cashmere cape! By FurAndLeatherLuxuryI’ll say this for her. She looks a lot better in it thanI would.If I owned this, I’d spend all my time perched on a sea wall, wailing “I am the French Lieutenant’s Whooooooore.” By MaxiCalliopeI want to be this cool! By IrishTweedStoreThis waist cincher clip would work equally well as a cape closure! By ChicGohoCreationsWhat a beauty! I love it paired with leggings and boots. By JuesCreativeAnyone else see lips with braces?I am a little bit obsessed with this vintage 1960s hooded cape. So adorable! By TellThemItsVintageOkay, I’ve gotten a little off topic, but how sweet is this personalized kids cape with mask and wrist shields! By LittleshepstersEven the gents are getting into the spirit! By CostureroRealThose are some unfortunately-placed “flowers.”I truly love the Celtic border and raw fringed edge on this belted beauty! By CelticFusionDesignI know quite a few children who would give their (baby) eye teeth for an Elsa cloak like this one! By MatchingCollectionsMy 1st grade teacher had a stylish cape like this one. It’s no wonder I fell in love with capes (and a bit with Miss Way…). By KnockaboutVintageNot exactly winter weight, but I might need it anyway! By ClothingForChangeQ. What did you do with all your jeans? A. I upcycled them Q. Did you, though?If I can make room, I think this one is the winner! By HandmadeByNadya
Very possibly! The good thing about being petite is that you can always get things cut down. Making clothes larger is more difficult (and may require actual magic.)

I bet you could find something similar at Walmart. But I must admit that I really liked a couple of them today. Hal

Most of these are really nice. Do they come in petite?

I love a cape but the season in which they can be worn here is definitely brief. There are some really gorgeous pieces in this selection.

I agree! Today would have been a good day for one, but I continue not to own any but costume capes. Boo.
