What’s better than a never-ending jar of Nutella? Honestly, not much—except for maybe the Catherine Cape Dress from cool-girl online retailer Nasty Gal. I mean, just take a minute to appreciate this divine piece of sartorial craftsmanship *minute passes*.

Done? Good, because we need to discuss this cape-slash-dress more. Honestly, you could totally rock this with pants and no one would be the wiser (just make sure that they’re tailored and not too baggy—unless you’re opting for boyfriend jeans, in that case try this comparatively slim pair from Citizens of Humanity). Why oh why are there not more cape dresses in this world? Seriously, so many little black dresses, why not start the little black cape dress trend? I can see it now, on the covers of many fashion magazines, women far and wide will be lusting after your LBCD—and you’ll be the next fashion it-girl. You’re welcome.

Seriously though, treat this like a sweater, cape, or dress to get out as many varied uses as possible (hey, who says you can’t? ‘As long as it’s clean, is my motto). Even when the weather surely but slowly starts to get bearable again (we haven’t even seen the worst of it, I’m afraid), wear this cape dress confidently with a chic pair of patent stilettos, like the Cambredge pair from Jessica Simpson, or with these white faux leather leggings from Club Monaco for an outfit that screams boss.
Has this cape/dress sold you on its crazy outfit possibilities? Or, wait, is there really a downside to this dress? Nope, there really isn’t.
