Themore rugged capes could easily be worn with brands such as Engineered Garments, The Soloist, or even Cabourn and the like, while working well with country-inspired tailoring. The dress capes require a sharper outfit, however, as @Butler demonstrated in a 3-piece suit from Savile Row. I can easily imagine wearing one to the ballet. If you live in Venice, so much the better.
For spring break, we went on a big trip to South Africa with our family. We explored Cape Town for a few days and then spent the rest of our time on a safari! Here are my Cape Town and safari outfits.
Our family brought 6 suitcases on this 10 day trip. We each brought one SOFT DUFFLE BAG, and then we brought one additional normal suitcase. We purchased the EXTRA LARGE size of the duffle bags since that was largest size allowable on the tiny safari plane. The boys were able to pack all of their items in their duffels without an issue, and with room to spare. PW and I eached packed all our safari items in our duffle bags, and then our cape town items and our toiletries together in the additional suitcase.
ARRIVAL DAY OUTFIT: When we arrived in Cape Town after a full, very long travel day, I was ready to get out of my travel clothes and feel like a human. We arrived in the afternoon, so we got to our hotel and I changed into this pretty little outfit. The weather was beautiful and this skirt and tee combination were perfect.
CAPE TOWN SIGHTSEEING OUTFIT: The rest of the day in Cape Town was spent on a Cape tour. We were on the tour for about 5 hours, driving all along the coast to the most southwest point of the Cape, the Cape of Good Hope, and the beach where we saw the African Penguins! Since we were in the tour van for a lot of this tour, I chose a breezy dress with some comfy sandals. If we had been walking a lot, I would have chosen sneakers instead.
SAFARI OUTFITS: On each safari day, we had two game drives and then dinner when we returned from the second game drive. On some days, I changed for the second game drive (especially if we got dirty or rained on), and also I would change for the hours in between the game drive to exercise or swim, so there were a lot of outfits per day!
SAFARI AFTERNOON: After the gym one day, in between our game drives, I put on my suit and swam for a little bit with the boys. This infinity pool overlooking the bush was so gorgeous!
LAST SAFARI and TRAVEL OUTFIT: this was the outfit I wore after our last safari drive when we flew back to Kruger Airport and then back to Cape Town. This comfy linen shirt is super affordable and these are the same old navy pants that I wore on safari one day.
CAPE TOWN SIGHT SEEING DAY: I wore this on our last day in Cape Town when we did a city tour and a few other fun activities for the boys, like mini golf and tobogganing. This skirt is so fun and lightweight and breezy! It was a little bit of a chilly day so I was glad for a jacket, even though I only wore this jacket one time.
One of the most frequent questions I received was if neutral clothing was required on the safari, and the answer is NO! They have no guidelines at all about what you can and cannot wear. I did read somewhere that certain colors attract some bugs, and of course wearing black in the sun can get warm, but you can wear anything you want on a safari.
I think the pictures turned out SO much nicer because we all were wearing neutral colors, and I made an effort to choose things that I knew they would feel comfortable wearing and would continue to wear.

Once we arrived at the One and Only Cape Town, we got settled in our room and headed out to explore the V & A Waterfront. I wore the all-white look from this post but with the new white jeans I purchased before we left. I love this brand! These jeans are well-made, have a great fit, the perfect amount of stretch and are $64! This top is a favorite of mine and you! So many of your have purchased it and I got asked for tons of links in DM on Instagram when I posted this. You can always find all my Instagram posts and shop them here with LikeToKnow.It.

After oversleeping (jet lag!), we departed for the Cape Winelands tour with our guide. I wore this lightweight chambray maxi skirt that is part of the Tuckernuck Collection I shared before we left. The cut of this skirt is so flattering! I paired it with my favorite simple white T. I love this T as it has a bit of a texture to which elevates it from your typical T. It comes in several colors and will be a go-to this summer.
We spent the day visiting the town of Franschhoek and two local wineries, La Motte and Moreson. Both were fabulous and we shipped wine home! You can see these on IG Stories as well. It was an overcast day and sprinkling a bit so I brought my trench to wear over this shirt dress. I also have this dress in navy and loved it so much I bought it again! A shirt dress is a perfect item to go from day to night with just an accessory change as well.

I wear dresses and skirts during winter as I have a collection of woollen dresses which are tight-fitting. Many people do wear jeans but, I love wearing dresses so I wear them with warm tights sometimes a lighter pair and a thicker one, a coat a scarf and gloves to stay warm.

Cape Town is a truly beautiful city. With so much to do there, you are spoilt for choice! It is the perfect place to get adventurous in, whether that means taking a trip up Table Mountain, spotting penguins at Boulders Beach or scrambling along cliff sides at Cape Point. We visited the city on our honeymoon last month, when Cape Town was just coming out of winter and heading into the early days of spring. Coming from the 37 heat of the greater Kruger park, the cooler climes and occasional rain came as a bit of a shock to the system. I had no idea what to wear! So when Thomson asked me to create a fashion mood board for Cape Town, I jumped at the chance.
15 years is a long time when your band is called Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly a product of its time, as much you and I; The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager turns 15 on September 18th 2021. Straddling the gap between the CD and the download, Chronicles is the perfect soundtrack for those who fall in the generation gap between gen x and millennial. Pre introducing, pre Spotify and even pre iTunes, the seaside laptop folk from 20 year old Sam Duckworth, set the blueprint for the modern singer songwriter. 1000+ shows and 100,000+ sales later, Chronicles is still a relevant soundtrack to a country wrestling with issues of racial integration, supply chain, workforce and itself.
