I really do feel like a Queen of the Underworld wearing this gorgeous sheer, stiff gauzy cape from Kookai. Bought on sale a while back and my current favourite accessory.
I paired it with black items for a structured, monochrome outfit
....one that had texture variation to make it pop.
I wore this to the new jazz club that opened up a few weeks ago. There was a fabulous jazz band playing and a good time was had. It was your classic 50's jazz club set-up, so twas certainly an experience. We'll be sure to go back...they feature some fantastic jazz acts.
The necklace started off as a piece from Diva. I bought some more chain, roped them to the existing chain and voila = chunky new hardware.
(I left off the long gold multi-strand chain necklace and short gold cross beaded necklace as I didn't want to be jingling at the jazz club, but am looking forward to wearing the "necklace" in its entirety. Simple things make me happy :)

Hey... thanks for the comment on my blog. Just an FYI, I have NEVER ironed that white shirt. Or the black one! I have owned them both for two years and wear them several times a month.
I love that look. The shoes look really cool. I love jazz clubs. My boyfriend plays jazz and I just love hanging out and having a glass of wine and listening to the music.
such a beautiful cape!
I'm jealous of your necklaces very GIVENCHY x

I love Kookai sales - when things are actually priced as they should be and not the insane ripoff amounts for something made in Fiji! lol
That cape is a great find tho!
Thanks CC...I'm a little obsessed about the cape at the mo :/
Passion4Fashion...nice to hear :)
I was shocked to see a shirt like that (assuming the ironing hours required ;)
Deana, I LOVE jazz clubs. You're lucky that you get to hang out there....
thanks for the comments, guys :)
and Phamzy, you share some of your phenomenal outfits and I'll share the necklaces.
Marcella, tell me about it. I steer clear normally (except for hosiery/jewellery).
