There are two things this pretty cape scarf reminds me of: 1) the song Butterfly by Mason Jennings, and 2) Alexander McQueen. Season after season you can always count on McQueen to come out with an assortment of prints, many with a kaleidoscope nature to them – this little number is a good example of that. The content of the prints change each year, but last fall’s dominating theme was the butterfly. If you’ve followed along for awhile, I generally don’t wear many prints on a day-to-day basis. Only a really fabulous printed piece will catch my attention and make it worth the investment – this is typically reserved for a fun cocktail dress or some other statement piece. That all changed, however, when I saw this Ted Baker cape scarf.

The print, colors and high-quality fabric instantly made me think of Alexander McQueen… but at a Ted Baker price point. It’s a win-win! It’s very lightweight which makes it an excellent accessory for transitioning to fall in Texas. It packs flat when it’s folded up, so it’s a great option for travel as well! The abundance of colors in the scarf make it surprisingly versatile too, but I enjoy pairing it with navy. As I was writing this post yesterday, I discovered the scarf had gotten marked down and then sold out! Such a bummer. With that said, Ted Baker has quite a few other great cape scarves available! Don’t miss this one and this one.

SHOP MORE TED BAKER MUST-HAVES BELOW:

  • This long-sleeved tee looks SO soft and like the perfect fall basic to layer with! Plus, it’s under $80.
  • If you love a good bow, don’t miss this sweater. So sweet!
  • This colorblock dress would be such a great piece for the office! Bonus that it features a little fall color!
  • This tunic-style sweater exudes casual elegance, don’t you think? Very Brunello Cucinelli. The belted waist shows off your shape too!
  • Try the velvet trend for fall with this easy tee! I’d buy it in black.
  • I’m not sure if I need more one-piece bathing suits, but if I were to add one it would definitely be this beauty.
  • On the hunt for a classic winter coat? This style is feminine, flattering and comes in amazing colors (neutrals and color alike!). I have it in magenta!

PS – don’t I wish I had this bag… borrowed it from my stylish mama who was in town when we shot this look! It’s making me think I should get one!
