Today I asked Princess Sparkles if she'd rather be a princess or a superhero.  She paused and really had to think about that one.  I mean, she loves a crown but she also loves a cape.  I did inform her that a princess often wears a cape too and a superhero can wear a crown.  She then let me know that she would rather be a princess but she'd like to be both.

I have been obsessed with getting a cape myself and when I saw this Jolt one in camel for 50% off online at Nordstrom, I knew I had to have it.  I immediately drove over to the store to try it on to see which size I needed (I got XS/S).  I was sold when a shopper near me turned, nodded and said, "Are you pregnant?  Because your belly looks so cute in that cape."  Luckily, I am pregnant.  I went to purchase it but when the saleslady told me it wasn't on sale, I rushed home to order it online.  Good thing I did because the next day it was no longer 50% off!

I used a rubberband to hold
my slipper so I could shop!

I paired my cape with these inherited maternity skinnies and metallic flats I thrifted when my slipper broke during breakfast.  I made Camouflage drive me across the street to a local thrift store (any excuse to shop).  Now I can link to "Thursdays are for Thrifters" from Spunky Chateau!  I'll also be linking up to Silverstyle's "Trending Through the Decades: Capes," Pleated Poppy's "What I Wore Wednesday," and "Real Momma, Real Style."

Anyway, I'm so excited I was able to purchase this cape on sale (I'm also glad it didn't make my shoulders look like a linebacker).  The thing about capes is they are super versatile.  Not only are they great for pregnant ladies, but for princesses and superheroes alike!
