I’m obsessed with this herringbone capelet from New York & Co. This is very Olivia Pope-esque, and reminds me of The Limited’s Scandal collection (read my review here).

Loving the powerful statement of this capelet, especially in this exaggerated herringbone pattern that is perfect for Fall. And the self-tie belt adds a great (and slimming) touch to its proportions. This capelet is $99.95 at New York & Co.

I’d layer this amazing piece over a statement dress, like this faux-leather-pocket shift dress (only $39.94 at Old Navy), or a statement skirt like this $20 faux-leather pencil skirt, also from Old Navy! Great prices for smart clothing options!

And for other alternatives to this herringbone capelet, this plaid cape from The Limited is superb, so is this ridiculously awesome cape trench coat! I also like this plus-size option from Lord & taylor!

Any other recommendations? Would you sport a cape or capelet for work?
