Please Don't Take My Sunshine Away

Anyone who doesn't want to wear a big-top-circus-tent-cape must be out of their mind.
What's not to love?
You can wear as many layers as you like underneath - perfect for our sunny but very brrrrrrrrrrrisk mornings - it has a hood, it's long, it's got huge colourful stripes for feck's sake and well, it's simply the shizzle don't you think?


The cape was yet another 1970s bargain snapped up last week at Aid for the Blind's half-price sale - $4.
Bingo!









1970s cape, bangles, vintage handbags, earrings, cardigan, t-shirts - thrifted
"D" ring - gifted by delicious Nelly
DIY arm warmers from thrifted tights
Spiked headband - from FB friend, Queenie
Doc's - retail
Leggings - Black Milk (who have 20% off alla da tings until Friday!!)
I think the cape is one helluva tah-dah, so I'll be linking to Lakota's Tah-Dah Tuesday this week:).
See you in the big top!
Baci,
Desiree xoxoxo

  3. That is one GLORI-ARSE cape, my rockin' pal! Anyone who doesn't look at that with supreme envy is one greige-wearing dullard! Loving the new Sassy Vamps creation teamed with the spiked headband and the trademark double-bagging! That nail paint is gorgeous! xxxxxxx

  8. JAYZUS WEPT WOMAN IT'S FARKING FABULARSE!!!

    Just when I though it could not be any more specTACular... it has a HOOD!!

    I'm pretty sure your cape and my dress were separated at birth (http://www.misfitsvintage.com/2011/06/international-congress-of-oddities.html)

    If there were ever a reason for us to organise a Port Mac blogger meet up - it just might be to get our two circus items together!

    LOOOVE! Sarah xxx

  13. I LOVE that cape! I would love it if you'd paid a fortune for it, but at that price it's beyond awesome. And I really want a pair of those leggings.

  25. I love the cape with all the black & white underneath. Actually jealous of all the circus paraphanelia you come up with. Nothing like this shows up in my local thrifts.

  27. this is amazing, though only you could pull it off, being the circus diva that you are. you would've loved the Insect Circus! More sexy and amazing leggings too!

  28. I'm afraid too many of us would look like a three ring circus in that cape - but it's perfect on you, you cutie. Totally enamored of the floral headbands, as well.
