Capes- stylish or superhero costume?

[TheCraicDealer]

A friend has liked a local cape-maker(?) on FB and now I keep seeing pictures of models wearing them and I feel like I need one in my life. But I need opinions before I commit.

It was my birthday yesterday and DP has written me an IOU because there wasn't anything I wanted, but I was thinking of this? I'm small (5"2) but they do come in petite.... What do you think? Am I just being seduced by swishy haired women flouncing about in meadows?

I've got a black one which I love. I use crutches to walk, when you've got a coat on and you put your arms in the cuffs of the crutches the sleeves get all scrunched up and twisted. A cape is so practical. I've been looking at getting a new coat but I might just buy another more colourful cape.
