Longtime readers of Style Maniac may remember seeing a closeup of this cape in a very early post … and also reading the story behind it.  I’ve only worn it a few times, but Nicole Miller’s XIX Most Fashionable Women In Philadelphia event seemed the perfect occasion.  Thank you to Janice of Lagos (a sponsor) for inviting me to this chic evening, and to Brittiny from Fashion Of Philly for snapping and sharing this photo.
