to buy a cloak?

[OstentatiousBreastfeeder]

Full disclosure, I am a Harry Potter fan.

They look so cosy and warm! I want to swish about the place in a mid-length cloak/hooded cape and feel magical.

DH thinks I will look like a twit but he's stupid.

I'll look fabulous won't I?

I have wraps shawls and ponchos and I need a cloak right now....

A cloak is a good thing. I have a cape, but one day I like to think I would own a cloak.

I used to have a muff which my mum made for me. It was brown faux fur with red tartan ribbon.

Love the cape you linked to OP.

I want a cloak now too.
Black with emerald green lining.

And I want an enormous,sleek jet black horse too.
But I have more chance of getting the cloak TBH.

I had a cape a few years ago. Fur round the sleeves and neck.
I considered having the fur removed but it would've been £40+.

I recycled it eventually.

But that wasn;t a cloak.

All 3 of mine are full length, with hood. Was jealous of the Scottish widows ad ones, so made myself 2, other was a gift. Wish I was brave enough to wear them out more, but not exactly usual wear in sarf East london in'it!

We should all wear our cloaks with pride. It'll be the new MN scarf and we can catch each other's eyes and nod sagely.

When I first modelled my furry Cape thing for DH he said "you look like a.....

Little pixie"

I was thinking I bore a striking resemblance to Grace Kelly or someone similarly stylish but in reality I look like I live under a toadstool.

What's the MN scarf? did I miss something?

I want a cloak ~ or a cape now! I have two gorgeous wool sort of open fronted poncho/wrap things, which could pass as open fronted capes I think. Someone made them for me as a gift many years ago. They are lovely, but unlined and very scratchy!! I used to wear them occasionally in the 80's.

A good friend of mine wore a beautiful dark green hooded cloak for her winter wedding. It. Was. Gorgeous!!!

We should definitely start a trend.

I think they can look really nice but I think I would look like this.

I really wanted a long black velvet one with scarlet lining. I was 8.
Nowadays I'd be channelling miss marple.
When I was little I had a red rubberised rain Cape. It was excellent, carried bag underneath it, stayed dry. Unfortunately I tripped and cut my head open because I couldn't put my hands out to stop myself. Apart from that it was great.

I've got a cloak.

It's a brown velvet Scottish Widows type thing and I bought it in Amsterdam when I was seventeen. I wore it for years before tucking it away in the wardrobe.

It came in useful a few years ago, when I was pregnant with DS and couldn't button up my coat anymore.

I would like this one but no where near brave enough . Pleased you got yours op.

I was looking at that one too MrsPear but I think it might be too short for me judging by the comments/reviews.

I always wanted one when I was a child. My favourite teacher used to swish around in the playground in hers, I thought she was amazing. Sadly my mother thought that a bottle green gaberdine macintosh was more sensible

There's an elderly woman who lives in my town who wears a cloak and carries a wicker shopping basket, I'd like to be her when I grow up.
