faux fur short cape at Target

[FedoraGirl]

has anyone seen Target's faux fur white with tan (other colors also available, i just like this one) elbow-length cape at target recently? i was wondering what era it was styled after...ie whether it would be a good vintage-style accessory. it only cost $25! thought it'd be nice for going out wearing a nice moedern or vintage dress...anyway it's really cute.

I went and looked at it last night. It looks vaguely 50's-ish to me, but it could probably do for almost any time. It looks like a rather timeless style. It's a very plain design, just a capelet with a short collar from faux fur.

Have fun with it!

Target's a new hidden source for vintage-y type pieces. Lauren & I have gotten several great 30's & 40's styled sweaters there. I also got a faux fur shrug-style jacket for $15.

How do you find the quality of Target's items? Just wondering.

I heart Target.

The Quality is what you would expect for the price. Decent, but not something that would last years and years.

I got the faux fur black bolero from Target, because I had admired yours on the QM, hope you don't mind, but it was quite perfect! The quality is pretty good, and the price definitely right. I'm actually wearing it in one of the pics I posted earlier in the general attire section. Anyway, you had also told me about the sweaters, but I couldn't find them in the store near me. Did you get them online? Tops and sweaters are the items I seem to have trouble finding. Have you seen any other stores that sell vintage looking modern? We have a store here in Boston, Jasmine Sola, not sure if it's national. They have some vintage inspired pieces, but they are a bit too expensive:cry:

We have the 'Capelet' at Target here too. It looks very 50's to me. Comes in brown and tan here.

There are a few shops here that are selling dresses straight from the 30s the 40's. I kid you not! The cut, the fabric...everything. Looks like they were made straight from a vintage pattern. I was so shocked to see them and happy to see some style back in the shops. Last years mainstreams fashions were apalling.

I just got some cute vintage style shoes from Target. The first style is a pair of reptile peeptoe slingbacks on a cork platform.

The others are round toe platform pumps.

I have the 2nd pair (which I don't find too comfortable) but I need to go there and see if I can find the first pair. Very cute!

They also have the first pair in black:

I have a short cape i bought last year from a funky store in Georgetown called Commander Salamander.
The only difference is that mine has slits on the sides for arms. I love it, it dresses up every outfit, and no one else around here wears one, so I get lots of Compliments.
