Poncho Weather

Poncho Style

It was so mild the other day, I went out just like this. I even took off the scarf at some point! We are finally moving into our house today. Mind you, it is not completely finished yet, but livable. So we packed all of our 12 boxes and mattress and moved in! This means I am finally getting the remainder of my clothes delivered as well. Ma wardrobe has been reunited at last. Now, I have to wait for the rods and shelving to be installed in my walk-in before I can even think of sorting and organizing my closet... For now, I'll still be living out of boxes, here's to hoping I find the items I'm looking for with ease. I had worn the above outfit the previous weekend, when we went preliminary furniture shopping. It only took us five or so hours, but we settled on a couch and picked out the fabric. It's the waiting game all over again... I swear, I am being pulled in so many directions at once, it is extremely stressful and somewhat overwhelming. Thank goodness for my amazing partner. His multitasking skills and total involvement has made this process so much more bearable!

Poncho Punch

Ok, upon second thought, the white jeans was not a great match for the (mostly) white poncho... I do like the monochromatic look, it's a great weekend outfit option. Not too fussy and gets you out the door quickly. I was yet again running errands this weekend. This time, we were on a hunt for bathroom mirrors. I had general ideas in mind for all three bathrooms and was lucky enough to find two that matched my visions. Two down, one to go! Once I got home, I took a small break and caught up on my shows for the week. The cozy poncho was great for lounging around, yet was put-together enough to go out in public. I like it when an outfit is both practical and presentable!

Poncho Combo

I have a thing for my poncho! It's such a fun piece to have in my closet! I decided to pair the boxy, loose-fitting top with a short fitted mini-skirt. I absolutely love the end result! This is proportion play at its best! I added some leopard burnout tights and black booties to finish things off. The tone-on-tone pattern of the tights sets off the horizontal striping of the poncho. A bit of print mixing never hurts, the key is that I stuck with the monochromatic palette. Go ahead and mix things up a bit by playing with proportions and patterns!

Dressed to Chill

For me, the Holidays are meant for equal parts chilling and partying! Today's look is perfect for chilling out! A poncho and leggings make a great snuggling-on-the-couch-watching-movies look. Comfort is key, and why not wear a blanket-like garment? A poncho is kind of like a Snuggie, but way chicer! I added my grey t-shirt scarf, which was a handmade gift from my mom. This was one of her classroom craft projects a few years ago and they are so easy to make! I've linked to a Pinterest image of the steps below. Could be a great idea to make use of old t-shirts lying around, or perhaps as a last-minute Christmas gift..

Move Over Pashmina, It's Poncho Time

So, I have obviously hoped onto the cape band wagon, but had yet to try the poncho. When I saw this fringed, striped version on clearance, I was sold. To really let the piece shine, I wore it with all black. I also had to wear the over-the-knee boots to compliment the length of the poncho. Lastly, I could not resist pairing it with my checked blanket scarf in similar shades. I absolutely love the way these two patterns work together! This was a very comfortable outfit that I will surely wear on repeat as the chills in the air become part of the daily forecasts!
