silk capelet


Watching customers in the shop  handle my silk crocheted capelets, I realized  that while they are immediately drawn to them and enjoy the softness of the material, they have no idea how to wear them-- even seem intimidated  until I take the capelet off the hanger and throw it on.   Displayed in the shop the capelets may seem mystifying but  customers are quickly surprised how versatile and easy to wear they actually are.
  So here's a quick demonstration. We shot theses pictures real fast so please forgive the outfit and the silly poses. But as you can see these little beauties can be dressed down to go with jeans or fancy fancy . Elegant, funky and fun and the softest fiber you will ever feel!
the basic style

drape it back for minimal coverage( I feel like a super hero in this shot)
how pretty it looks from the back- the drape keeps it in place
pull it forward for a scarf effect
instead of putting it over your head- keep it doubled and throw it around your shoulders
place your favorite pin at the neckline
start to pull it forward
you've got a scarf!
Put your imagination to the test and find other ways to wear it.
next time- silk and bamboo wraps
